Need help understanding tax withholding before I start some shit with HR

So I just two weeks ago started a new job. Got my first paycheck and looked at the paystub to see how bad taxes were gonna be hitting me. I noticed on the taxes section, that I’m not only being taxed for the usual, ‘federal income, employee Medicare, social security, MD state income’…then below that, is one more that just says “Queen Anne’s”. For context, I do not live in Queen Anne’s county. I live in Caroline. If I remember correctly, the MD state income tax includes the county local taxes. Why am I being taxed by Queen Anne’s? I emailed HR about it trying to be calm, they said that it is correct and is a “work-in” tax. I’ve worked a good number of jobs all over the eastern shore, I’ve never heard of a “work-in” tax. I’ve googled it a little and everything I’m seeing so far is saying I shouldn’t be getting taxed by another county that I do not live in. This makes me want to email HR again, this time not so calm. However I’d like to not do that since I only just started this job. So if anyone out there reads this, and could shed some light on this before I have it out with my HR, I would greatly appreciate that help. Don’t want to make this post much longer than it already is, so if there’s any more information anyone may need to give any help with this, please feel free to ask. Thank you in advance for any and all advice/help on this.

What time to arrive at Annapolis Rock Trailhead to guarantee a parking spot next month?

We hope to finally get to hike this trail at the end of next month during the peak color season and we would like to know what time we must arrive to guarantee a parking spot on a Saturday. We have never been there before due to hearing how popular (crowded) it is and based on Google Maps Streetview, the lot is extremely limited. Thanks.

Has anyone heard anything about the new program where people getting certain benefits like SNAP automatically qualify for OHEP?

I received this in my email in July and haven’t heard a word since, but an application was automatically put into my account after my snap benefits were just redetermined so something is obviously happening. I’ve called and they had no clue (shocking). And yes the email came from a Maryland.Gov address.

Wedding / Civil Ceremony at Annapolis Courthouse

Looking for guidance for anyone that has been to or had their own personal wedding ceremony at the Annapolis Courthouse. I know they have a cute small chapel like room where the ceremony takes place. Do they allow for you to have the traditional "walk down the aisle"? If so, are you able to play music on a phone while doing so? Are you able to say your own vows or do they require the standard vows?

Capital Crescent trail issue

I walk this trail 4-6 times a week usually between 2-5 PM. I walk from the Bethesda Row/Ourisman Honda entrance to Whole Foods and return to Bethesda Row entrance. I am fond of this trail. To my understanding this trail was built/paved in 1990-1991 timeframe. I understand the maintenance is the prevue of the M-NCPPC.

For those who have never walked it at some point a yellow division line was painted down the middle of the trail. Over time the yellow dividing line has worn away and is nearly gone in most of the stretch that I walk. This is a problem. Reason: Picture me walking from entrance at Bethesda Row on the R side of paved trail. A bicyclist is riding towards me on the opposite side of the trail. Then bicyclist finds there is a couple walking in front of where he/she is traveling. At this juncture I am parallel to the couple on the opposite side of trail in the path of the oncoming bicyclist. Instead of bicyclist choosing to slow down and wait until I am no longer walking Parallel to the couple/person on the opposite side, bicyclist goes around the people directly in front of him. In order to do that, bicyclist crosses the middle divider line (yellow line on paved path) and is headed directly towards me! Since I've seen this So any times I am always paying attention and step off onto the dirt side of the pavement to take myself out of jeopardy. But this is reckless behavior of the bicyclist b/c at any given juncture there can be a rock/branch/baby shoe/other object On The Path that the bicyclist doesn't see, hits object and viers into the walkers that he is then far too close to. The yellow dividing line is mostly entirely worn away for the 1 mile length I typically walk. Do other have any advice on who best to report this to to have the yellow dividing line repainted? Thanks

Do some driver licenses/state IDs have dark gray backgrounds behind the photo of the owner?

Just saw 2 IDs with dark gray backgrounds and assumed they were fake. Have you ever seen anything like that?

Does anyone notice similarities between the Chesapeake Bay and Venice?

I was thinking that it might be entirely possible for us to have our own Venice, as in a city made entirely of canals and similar kinds of transportation. The Chesapeake Bay has a comparable climate, maybe the circumstances that led to the creation of Venice can be replicated. Wouldn't you enjoy some nice scenic Coastal cities with similarities to Venice or maybe some other Adriatic paradises?

Horror Movies Set In Maryland

With Halloween approaching, I'd share a project I've been working on for a few years, recording the locations of horror movies around the country and the world. 

I am a big fan of horror and am a weird pedantic person who likes to make lists, and while people on r/horror don't seem to be as interested in this, I figured the state subreddits might. Especially if any y'all are looking for new movies to watch this month.

 You can check out my raw data here, or check out a more visually pleasing Letterbox list I made of Maryland's horror movies here.

Now to be clear about my methodology in how I organize these movies. These are organized by where they are SET not necessarily by where they are SHOT. Example: Most of the Friday the 13th movies are not shot in NJ, but they are all classified as set in NJ because in-universe that is where they take place. In cases where the setting of the film is not outright stated, I used context clues such as license plates, driver's licenses, newspapers, references to cities, and so on. While I did take into account where the movie was filmed, I tried not to use that as definitive evidence (there is a reason why the tropes California Doubling and the Mountains of Illinois exist).

I go into more of the breakdown of movies in this post on r/horror if you are interested.

I have recorded 37 horror movies set in Maryland, placing the state at #20 in state rankings.

According to IMDB, this makes the top 10 Maryland horror movies:

  1. Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon (2006)
  2. The Blair Witch Project (1999)
  3. The Raven (2012)
  4. WNUF Halloween Special (2013)
  5. Grave Encounters (2011)
  6. The Room (2019)
  7. V/H/S/2 (2013)
  8. The House on Sorority Row (1983)
  9. The Invasion (2007)
  10. Butterfly Kisses (2018)

I hope you like this, and if you have any more suggestions or corrections you want me to make, please comment. You can also look at the lists for other states and countries here.
