Well, you got me here!!! I had to do some work in Atlanta and Gainesville, FL over the years and nothing annoyed me more than these two.

I felt like I was The Flash doing everything, and I mean everything, at high speed while the rest of world was sllllooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. It's like the local Dept. of Water and Power put barbituates in the drinking water.

And, as a rabid iced tea drinker, there is nothing nastier in this universe than "sweet tea". UGH!!!!! Gross, gross, grossssssssssssssss.......

My mom lives in Nashville. A coupla years back she had a mild heart attack and I flew out to see her and make sure things were okay.

You should have seen me attempting to drive..... I almost had my own heart attack from all the yelling and cussing.

Everyone drives no more than 20 mph and everything is so sluggish. The light turns green and the cars just sit there. Starting and completing a right hand turn takes five minutes. Don't even get me started on left turns...

Yikes. Makes me glad I've never been to the south. My extremely-impatient-check-my-watch-every-two-minutes nature would not be able to handle it.

I TERRIFY people at times. I mean what don't people get about THE MF'ING LIGHT IS GREEN - SO GO

I personally think there is a group out there whose sole purpose is to break every law in the legal realm to cut in front of me (the only car on the road) and then drive one mile per hour

Can you explain sweet tea a little better? I looked it up online, but the main difference seems to be that you dissolve sugar in it?

It’s just tea that is cold really. You boil the water, add the tea bags and such. Then you pour it into a jug or some kind of container and add the sugar to you liking and then refrigerate.

I really do enjoy sweet tea it's really good. I also like hot tea as well!

Then why do people who like ice tea not like sweet tea? It must just be very, very, very, sweet, I suppose.

I don't know that is a very good question.

I was curious about this whole sweet tea thing as well...I love iced tea - but I always put sugar (splena or sweet and low) in it Do people actually drink tea with no sweeteners in it at all ?

I prefer sweet tea (yum, my fav), but I can drink it w/o sweetener, too. It doesn't taste as well, but it is still pretty good to my taste buds.

So is sweet tea just tea with sugar in it or is some different type of tea specifically?
