You mean everybody doesn't do this?  |
Must be a New England thing. I've never heard this said in Arizona ever. I've heard "Quarter till Five", meaning 4:45, or "Almost Five" meaning anywhere from 4:52 to 4:58.
As for topic: The drivers here (Phoenix Metropolitan Area) are really bad, and one thing that pisses me off (And has scared the shit out of me on a couple of occasions) is that when some car is in the turn lane at a major intersection, and there's several cars in that lane, if the light turns yellow, about 2-3 more cars will turn then they should.
In fact, I'd say about only half the population slows down if they see a yellow light too. HOLY FUCK GOTTA BEAT THAT LIGHT I COULD BE 2 MINUTES LATE TO STARBUCKS!
Its not all bad though, when I went to California in July for vacation, I noticed right away that Phoenix's Freeways are a lot better kept up, and organized.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
