For those of us living safely in the five boroughs, occasional news reports of douchey Hamptons behavior are usually enough to satisfy our craving for aristocratic absurdity—read one article about people who enjoy $25K bottles of champagne chilled during a 10,000-foot free-fall served by a skydiver, you've read them all. But the regular folks who reside in the Hamptons and suffer through the stampede of douchebags every summer need something more. This is the essential service that Facebook page "Douche Spotter" is now providing.
A lot of the group is dedicated to people venting about inconsiderate parking jobs, socks-and-sandals rage, butt-revealing shorts-wearing hipsters, shudder-inducing vanity license plates, and uh, angry Heather Mills. “This all started last summer when I saw a guy doing something really annoying, and I just wanted to punch him in the face,” James Cuomo, the 26-year-old construction worker who started the page, told the Post. “But I figured that it would be smarter to go after him on Facebook instead.”
You have to be a group member now in order to enjoy the douchebaggery, but we've put some highlights above so you can understand just what car eyelashes are and why you should loathe them.
