LOL, I find it funny, though I know it is extremely heartbreaking to some, when going south on 93 they take the ramp after the tolls for 93 to Salem and Boston when they actually want to go straight south to 93/3 and the Everett Turnpike. I remember being a passenger in my father-in laws car coming home from the mountains one year. I told them not to take that right. They said I didn't know the way. Wrong. I spent every summer at the lake with mom and her parents and now take my kids up to the lake to spend their summers. Well you should have heard him scream when he got to 495 in MA way up further north than Chelmsford!
Yeah, but he saved $.75 by missing the Bedford Tolls and missed a whole lotta construction delay south of the MA border. I doubt he lost any time since he entered 495 south of Lawrence bridge mess too.

As far the Vette driver goes, there's plenty of jerks everywhere. NH has it's share. I would not sweat it. Maybe the guy was having a really bad day. BTW, 28A toward Wolfeboro comes out on route 28, not 11. 11 goes toward Gilford from Alton.

I think NJ drivers are more polite than NH drivers, in general. NJ has more reasonable speed limits on secondary roads too. NH seems to like 35 MPH limits on back roads (like 28A) that just scream for a 50 or 60 MPH limit. Roads like 28 in Salem NH are posted at 30 or 35 MPH; in NJ, they'd be posted at 50 (like route 35). That said, I think NH is a far better place for me to live.
