Cape Cod TikToker Perfectly Describes the Pains of Living in a Tourist Town
It’s a blessing and a curse to live in an area where tourists flock in the warmer months, and if you live on The Cape, you know first-hand just how different the area becomes after Memorial Day.
The sleepy seaside towns come alive with families packing up their cars and traveling over the Bourne or the Sagamore bridges to get a taste of New England at its finest, and it definitely brings some added stress for the locals.
Bridgewater native Anthony Varela has been living on the Cape for just over seven years and has gained a massive following on social media thanks to his relatable humor. His latest TikTok caught my attention because he speaks directly to us, the people who live in a vacation destination.
If you follow him online, you may know him as “nobodycaresanthony.” His latest viral video comes from the driver’s seat of his car as he maps out what we are all thinking but never say.
“Don’t get me wrong, I love to live where people vacation, but there are a couple (of) things that really grind my gears,” he said.
In my opinion, he hits the nail on the head with a few of his complaints, such as his lack of phone reception thanks to “the influx of people.” And don’t even get me started on the bike riders all over the road.
“It’s like the Tour de France over here,” yells Varela, with his Massachusetts accent loud and proud.
If you find yourself complaining about the “influx” of traffic on the bridges or the long lines at Dunkin', just know that you aren’t alone.
Is there anything Varela missed? Check out his video for yourself.
