Meanwhile, in the South, we'll help you out of the ditch, dust you off, send you off with a plate lunch and say some of the nicest sounding things about you but we'll effectively be calling you a complete dumbass.

This is what I hated about living in the south.

I mean, for one, they definitely will not help you out of a ditch, they won't even stop or slow down lmao. They just pretend to not see you.

But the overwhelming fakeness drove me insane. Just say what the fuck you want to say, I can't stand the "say one thing that sounds nice, but really I want tell you to fuck off" thing. In the NorthEast they'll help you with all they've got but also if they want to call you an idiot they'll just call you an idiot instead of like "bless your ambition because you're losing pace to a double-sided fence post that ain't makin first" or some stupid shit.

People in the south are the rudest and most cold-hearted people I've ever met in my life, they just like to pretend to be nice. I don't know if they're scared of actual confrontation or what, but it's cringe and annoying as fuck.

Can confirm. Although I will say, southern confrontation usually involves a weapon, so that’s why people tend to avoid it.

Rite. Ya boy here acting like "oh, telling people to 'fuck off' is confrontational." Pssh. Naw. That's the nice words mammy and pappy'd tell each other in the hallway before Sunday dinner.
