I moved to Connecticut from Atlanta. My experience is that driving in Connecticut is far less stressful than driving pretty much anywhere in the south.

If they have vehicles or investments, make sure all of their registrations, titles, and investment certificates are safe and easily accessible. Vehicles are useless without a title and I spent a year tracking one down because the original wasn't found. DMV has no right to provide you one until the car is in your name, but you can't put it in your name without the title. Couldn't ask the owner, for obvious reasons.
If they have shares, you need the original certificates because it costs hundreds just to make new ones and you can't sell (or transfer) their stocks without them. This part alone added months to probate for me and its the last step.
Learned all this the hard way.

These are the same people that go into the car dealership and complain about why their cars have problems. Lmao. UHHH ma'am we have a picture of you loading it past its recommended cargo capacity, which is like a carton of milk. But you have enough material loaded to finish Trump's wall. Lol.

Looks like that car will be abandoned on the side of 84 near Hartford soon.

Bank accounts are best to have beneficiaries. You can use those accounts as soon as you have a death certificate to manage the legal fees and estate management while the rest of the stuff goes through probate (a year or 2).
I did this with a messy estate and couldn't have paid for legal fees, probate fees (few grand) and working on a house to sell without being made a beneficiary.

Someone should pull over the asshole NewHaven cop this morning in Route 34, plate NH-47 or 47-NH.
Jackass felt a need to tailgate the shit out of me in traffic while I’m trying not to speed an get pulled over. Hit the siren or flash the lights and I’ll get out of your way, don’t be the fucking problem.

They can. But a lot of people today treat tipping like it should be mandatory and get pissy if they don’t get tipped.

The non peak times are just cushion for the weekends. I would clear $1000 from Thursday to Sunday easy. Even on slow weeknights in Milford I would make atleast $100. That’s not the amount of money it used to be but it’s better than being a desk jockey and I liked socializing with customers. It’s the least oppressive job, imo. If you don’t like a restaurant or their management you can move on to the next within a weeks training. Power to the people. Lol

Really depends on if theirs adequate room so that both vehicles can drive through safely, if it’s a wide enough road and both can than it’s fine. If it’s not than you should always stop and wait for oncoming traffic to clear before proceeding.

CT drivers have no understanding of right of way and are stupid/opportunistic jerks.

If you don’t make enough money to pay someone $14hr your food isn’t that good. If you can’t afford to go out maybe you need to ask your employer for more than minimum wage.

I'm not arguing they shouldn't. I'm arguing if they had to work for minimum wage and no tips it would be a large pay cut.
