    They’re friendlier at first but when they get to know you if you’re not their type they clam up and shut you down. I experienced it first hand.

    It's more of a rural vs urban thing. As well as a "Do you fit in?" thing.

      Poor southerners are usually nicer. Like farmers or the rural communities. The ones that grow up with money often have that superiority attitude without knowing it. The poor ppl are way more accepting if youre weird.

    Only time Ive gone north is for a funeral in Chicago and what stuck out was when we were driving to the cemetery with our flashers on in a single file line ppl were cutting into our line which is considered very disrespectful in the south. You could get pulled over for it.
    You're supposed to always let a funeral go first and never cut into the line. I was a kid but I said something to my cousin whos from chicago and was riding with me and he chuckled and said ppl were way too busy in chicago to care about a funeral.

    Good manners are very much valued in the South.
