‘In Maine everybody thinks,’ is an exaggeration not meant to be interpreted literally. It’s the definition of hyperbole.
I would like to echo u/Grape-Snapple by saying that in my personal experience many Mainers assume that people have a 207 area code. Or they assume that you know the area code for the state is 207. Considering how much of the state relies on tourism and is made up by snowbirds and transplants one would think I wouldn’t have to hear frantic smashing of the delete key once I get to the 8th number of my phone number as often as I do.
Also, while it might not be your intent, your tone was initially aggressive and you appeared to become more aggressive at a faster rate than u/Grape-Snapple.
