The Easter Seals and March of Dimes have a longstanding beef in NH.

Easter Seals is just a part of dcyf, everyone just trying to get at the money feds give to the state for taking children from their families.

Are you saying the Easter seals broke your friends arm?

Joke's on them! They can't leave the letter because they can't reach the mailbox. Checkmate

Ah, I see. I get it now. I moved here for a job, never had any preconceived notions about the state or region. It's been ok so far. I prefer the Pacific Northwest, but New England is pretty ok.
Edit: I'd also like to add, responding to the original post; I've lived/been everywhere (man), and let me assure you, New Hampshire traffic is not worth complaining about.
Edit 2: and in case you are wondering, the New Hampshire way of driving like an idiot is cutting people off. I've never been so frequently and unnecessarily cut off than I have been in New Hampshire. Don't feel bad though, they don't use turn signals in North Dakota, they ride your ass in Indiana, New York needs to slow the fuck down, Washington needs to speed up, New Orleans gets worse as the week progresses and folks get drunker, and Tucson (and Florida) needs to pay attention. Every city/state/region has their own way of driving like a prick.

Population, population, population- All of those people moving to NH create all that traffic. A lot of those people have moved there partly in response to an imaginary NH that exists on TV and existed in their childhood visits to vacation spots.

Before moving up we would drive up occasionally to visit my wife's family. Up on Friday, down on Sunday. I absolutely hated it. Now that I live up here we occasionally drive down on a Friday and up on a Sunday. It's magical by comparison.

I definitely know some of my parents’ friends who are snowbirds haven’t taken their Florida plated car all the way to Florida in years- they just get the stickers sent to their address there and bring them up (and no Florida annual inspection so you can do that, and is cheaper than NH). Usually when it’s time to buy a new car and they realize they’re not up for that driving every year, and can afford two cars so why not do two.
So, that answers your question!

I mean no disrespect, but I must ask; what does your reply have to do with the original post?

I know this sounds completely made up and false, but I have pictures to prove it.
Last summer I saw a Florida driver driving down a rail trail in their car

A lot of people who enthuse about New Hampshire are not realizing that a lot of the things they like are vanishing. There is still a difference between NH and Massachusetts, but it is diminishing. New Hampshire used to be solidly Republican, but now they are trending mostly Democrat, which having a RINO governor does little to slow down. Of course, there is more respect for the 2nd Amendment, and less nanny-state foolishness. There is no law requiring helmets when riding motorbikes, and the COVID masking rules were less restrictive in NH. New Hampshire is now also, by my calculation as of two years ago, has a cost of living only 14% cheaper than Massachusetts, with 20% cheaper housing.
In my little town, there is no curbside trash pickup, town water only if you live near downtown, and still some dirt roads. Also, no gas heat or gas stoves, not because of the environmental nuts, but because of lack of demand- propane stoves only.

And as you roll along 93 north of Manchester, be sure to get a glance here and there at those barely used railroad tracks where you could have been riding in comfort at over 100mph all the way to Boston but are in your car instead because NH hates passenger rail.

FL drivers are even worse, and what gets me about them is how the hell does someone that bad at driving survive driving all the way up the east coast? How did that person who can't figure out a NH highway manage to make it through NJ and NY?

I live in the lakes region, if I need to get anything done on the weekends it needs to be before 8:30 am otherwise it’s like trying to enjoy yourself on the beach and the person before you spilled their French fries..
