I don't expect a "thank you" when I hold the door for someone but I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF YOU DID NOT GLARE AT ME AND/OR GO OUT OF YOUR WAY TO USE ANOTHER DOOR THANK YOU

in NC if you are driving through a residential area and see people walking, they will wave at you.

wait, does this actually seriously freak people out? I thought it was just a normal thing that happened everywhere! the only time I found it even slightly weird was when a dude on a riding mower waved to me while I was passing through Virgilina, but that was just because it's a town of 159 people and so he would obviously know that he had never seen me before.

― bernard snowy, Saturday, 28 April 2007 18:50 (sixteen years ago) link

well, judging by the responses, it is pretty normal in small communities. I have had out-of-town friends (lol big city peeps) be all "wtf is that old dude waving at you?" tho.

strangers wave at each other all the time in my neighborhood...then receive free drugs and/or sexual favors. southern hospitality. blowjobs are like lemonade here.

just kidding

― latebloomer, Saturday, 28 April 2007 19:37 (sixteen years ago) link

it's a tradition. third person to wave at you driving a cadillac gets a free bj, except on Sundays. blue laws and all.

I wonder how Lucy would have handled the situation in an alternate-universe Peanuts strip

― Curt1s Stephens, Saturday, 28 April 2007 19:46 (sixteen years ago) link

if i was really smart i would've been like Lucy in Peanuts and have my own stand disseminating psychiatric advice with complimentary fellatio as the hook to bring in customers. i'd "blow minds"

just goes to show i'm not a native southerner. when my friend sean (who's lived all his life here) came back from a trip to NYC he was stunned at the lack of sweet tea. it's just something that he was so used to.

― latebloomer, Sunday, 29 April 2007 02:19 (sixteen years ago) link

i think to be a true southerner you have to be born with trace of amount of caffeine in your blood

My wife always talked about how confusing it could get in American restaurants, being asked a thousand questions about one wants their meal prepared. For example, in Australia, they don't really bother asking you what kind of freakin' salad dressing you want.

So you can imagine the blank stare she gave our Waffle House waitress the first time she was asked "sweet'r,unsweet?"

― Pleasant Plains, Sunday, 29 April 2007 03:14 (sixteen years ago) link

i have a friend from alabama who was totally baffled that there was no sweet tea to be found in montreal. i told him i had never even heard of this sweet tea and he was like "no, you know, sweet tea! you know!" this was abt 2 yrs ago. there is still no sweet tea.

If you find me sleepin' in the shade dear
Will you promise to bring me all your sweetness
All my plans are hangin' in the palms dear
All my thoughts are lost in Pawley's interest
Rock me gently the waves are softly rollin'
Salty breezes blowin' through the screen dear
Pour me some of your old fashioned magic
I can hear you whispering in my ear

Don't try to offer me anything
What it comes right down to baby
Don't tempt me; I'm where I wanna be
Cause on the eighth day, God made sweet tea

Certain things in life I like to savor
Watchin' clouds and waitin' on the rain
If you ever question my behavior
Just a taste will make you feel the same now

Don't try to offer me anything
What it comes right down to baby
Don't tempt me; I'm where I wanna be
Cause on the eighth day, God made sweet tea

We've known each other goin' on thirty years
Seen a lot of joy; we've seen a lot of tears
Still I wouldn't change a single thing that I did
Cause we're here, yea.....

Don't try to offer me anything
What it comes right down to baby
Don't tempt me; I'm where I wanna be
Cause on the eighth day, God made sweet tea

Don't try to offer me anything
What it comes right down to baby
Don't tempt me; I'm where I wanna be
Cause on the eighth day, God made sweet tea

I always thought the only reason for restaurants to serve unsweetened tea was to allow the calorie-conscious among us to add their preferred artificial sweetener, y'know, as a sensitive nod to customer choice. It never occurred to me that anyone would drink un-sweet tea voluntarily.

So hang on whats the difference between putting yr own sugar into tea (and I dont put much!) and "sweet tea"? Is it like HORRIBLY RLY SWEET?

― Trayce, Sunday, 29 April 2007 21:13 (sixteen years ago) link

I think I wd be in sunny's shoes if I ever came to the South :(

― Trayce, Sunday, 29 April 2007 21:13 (sixteen years ago) link

Southern "sweet tea" = black tea with lots of sugar. It is often HORRIBLY RLY SWEET. Also it is served chilled/on ice.

― Curt1s Stephens, Sunday, 29 April 2007 21:21 (sixteen years ago) link

I did not know this!

The oldest known recipe for sweet ice tea was published in 1879 in a community cookbook called Housekeeping in Old Virginia, by Marion Cabell Tyree. This recipe calls for green tea. In fact, most sweet tea consumed during this period was green tea. However, during World War II, the major sources of green tea were cut off from the United States, leaving them with tea almost exclusively from British-controlled India which produces black tea. Americans came out of the war drinking nearly 99 percent black tea.

OK so, iced tea then thats what I thought. Its just a totally diff thing to normal hot tea!

― Trayce, Sunday, 29 April 2007 21:35 (sixteen years ago) link

Im sorry I sound so britisher :(

― Trayce, Sunday, 29 April 2007 21:41 (sixteen years ago) link

i really prefer unsweetened iced tea! it annoys me that it is so hard to find this in bottled/canned form. itoen teas are becoming more available, but always $2+. snapple, etc., all undrinkable nastiness.

― bell_labs, Sunday, 29 April 2007 21:45 (sixteen years ago) link

Bottled/canned sweet tea is generally an atrocity.

― Curt1s Stephens, Sunday, 29 April 2007 21:54 (sixteen years ago) link

We have peach iced tea in bottles here, I inhale that stuff. I love it.

― Trayce, Sunday, 29 April 2007 21:54 (sixteen years ago) link
