80% of the people in SC cant drive. the worst are the ones that have the expensive cars. and while i don't like to profile i see more women that don't seem to want to look around, usually on the phone and just changing lanes all whilly nilly and not even attempting to look or signal. I can count on one hand the number of times i have seen a guy do it and most of them where really young, like still having a restricted licence young.

I spent a few days in SC last October (Spartanburg, Simpsonville, etc.) and I noticed the same. A bit ironic, considering the BMW plant is in Greer.

- Reading a comment (so far only on OTHER forums, IIRC) where the person has written that his/her curiosity has been peaked....the word is piqued. If someone is speaking quickly the sound is similar, but they are different words with different meanings.

- Hearing people say George Bush Jr. or George Bush Sr.

. I don't have any fondness toward either one of them, but they aren't Senior and Junior as they don't have the same full name. The father could be correctly referred to a the elder George Bush or Bush 41, but not Senior. He is the only one with his name - George Herbert Walker Bush - he has two middle names. The first middle name -Herbert - is not part of his son's name. My father was a Junior, and he had the same given name his father did. IIRC, the distinction is also on my father's birth certificate. If I lived outside the Texaplex (Texas Urban Triangle - formed by the San Antonio, DFW, and Houston metro areas), I probably wouldn't hear this as often. They live here. Their libraries are here. The International Airport in Houston is named after the elder George Bush.

I know, picky first world issues.....but this is a 'Peeves' thread
