A Peabody man has gone viral on TikTok for sharing videos many Massachusetts residents can relate to.

Dalton DeLima, who describes himself online as "The Proper Masshole," has shared numerous videos of Boston skits, Massachusetts town reviews and chronicles of New England mysteries on his account @Dalton_Daltoff, Boston.com reports.

However, it's his "road rage" videos that are among his most popular and relatable to those in the Bay State, which specifically gripe about roads and the other drivers on them.

“When you hear about Massachusetts from out of state, you hear that all the traffic’s horrible, driving’s horrible, people beeping and honking at you, they’re impatient,” DeLima said in an interview with Boston.com. “It’s kind of that stereotype from Massachusetts.”

A recent video shared on DeLima's TikTok account shows him pointing out the frustrating commute on the on-ramp from Lowell Street in Peabody to Route 128 South, which has already gotten more than 20,000 likes, 850 comments and 1,000 shares as of Wednesday (April 7.)

“People STOP and LOOK to see if there’s oncoming traffic,” DeLima yells in the video. “NO! You don’t have to do that. You know WHY?! LOOK AT THIS LAAANE! You have 750 to 1,000 feet of OPEN lane to just MERGE onto the highway!”

Another popular video shared by DeLima shows him frustratedly driving past a Dunkin' Donuts and having to maneuver around the Squire Road rotary in Revere.

“CAN YOU PICK A LANE?!” DeLima shouts, before calmly pointing out the second Dunkin’ located on the other side of the rotary in the video.

DeLima said he doesn't actually scream so aggressively while driving, "but it is annoying, don't get me wrong."
