11 Awkward Moments Every Bostonian Has Endured At Least Once

It's one thing to rag on the Yankees while surrounded by Sox fans. However, a social situation gets awkward fast when you share your feelings in front of someone from New York.

And no, buying one for seventy bucks online doesn't help!

You know the scenario. You finally find parking but the meter's buried under four feet of snow. You fight your way through the snowbank and winding up looking like you lost a round with a Yeti. Snow 1: Human 0!

...Boozeless and embarrassed.

"So you take a right by Dunks, keep going for three blocks, then make a left opposite Dunks." This works fine when directing locals to your new place. But if you're trying to steer an out-of-towner in the right direction, they'll be confused by your reliance on Dunks.

…Because you misunderstood the six different sets of rules on most Boston parking signs. Nothing quite like the frustration of realizing your car’s been clamped or towed.

Riddle me this: if street sweeping takes place on Thursday, but you can’t park between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m., and only those with permits can park overnight… Yeah, your head might explode!

Your choices: cancel and skulk home in shame or be so late it's rude.

Come on, chowder!

And you can bet that coffee didn't even come from Dunks.

Yeah. Not the same thing.

Am I the only one who’s run into Eliot Tatelman and been way too psyched?
