Myrtle Beach bike week
I read today to my amusement that many people vacationing at Myrtle Beach were surprised to find out it is Bike week with thousands of motorcycle enthusiasts meeting at the beach. The streets are filled with motorcycles. I know because I accidently visited the beach at this time of year before I knew about it. The Myrtle Beach chamber of commerce had 300 to 400 complaints last year. It's easy enough to find out by searching the internet for it but I remembered thanks to a friendly neighborhood dancer I know working at the beach who gave me a calendar. I just call her spidey woman, well not really.
The paper went on to quote someone: I wouldn't take grandma to the beach during this event. I found this amusing since I know some relatives who were thinking about visiting before I told them it was bike week. I never had any trouble but you do have to get used to motorcycles everywhere.
In case anyone is interested, I found a site here

that indicated over 200,000 bikers go to Bike week at Myrtle Beach. That's a lot of motorcycles.

I didn't realize it was the 3rd largest motorcycle event in the US.
Then we have the rude drivers who might think they are being polite by holding up traffic while a light is green by letting one person slowly pull into a lane. They get through the light but everyone behind them has to wait another 5 to 10 minutes for the light to turn green again. That's what you call being polite to one person but rude to everyone else.
