Well isn't that what New Hampshire wants out of state plates that pay the bills. After all how else is the state going to make money More property taxes? Or maybe an income tax? The love-hate with Massachusetts I find so comical

All of northern New England is just another New Brunswick or West Virginia without all that Boston/NYC money flowing up.

Just don't come up with a shitty self entitled attitude and no one cares where you are from. Why so many folks from Mass cannot figure this out is beyond me.

You have to be an asshole first, before being from Mass plays into the equation making one a Masshole.

Right, the license plate used to read years ago, scenic New Hampshire. For many manydecades it's been understood what really drives the economy. It's not old fashioned textile mills lol. The industrial ship has long sailed. Now it's tourism

I think a lot off Mass residents like to conflate Masshole as hate for Mass in general. It isn't. It is direct response to a strong held attitude and behavior that a large portion of MA visitors bring with them.

Repeated multiple times and will again. If you aren't an asshole firstly, no one cares where you are from. Act like an aggressive asshole and then are from Mass you are a Masshole.

I have friends who spent their whole lives in MA and they are actually the first to point out and be effected by others Masshole behavior when they come up and visit.

It is meme well outside just the northeast for a reason.

Well I think we are describing is just the American tourist in general and the hideous reputation they have abroad. New Hampshire is the host state out of stateers are the guest, the tourist. I don't think it's so particular to Massachusetts but rather as a state the generic over there in American abroad, the Karen, fortunately not everybody's like that
