Anonymous Coward User ID: 739044 United States 11/17/2009 12:36 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm from Philadelphia and all I hear ever about the South and people there is that they are friendly. Well, I've been to Atlanta, Memphis, New Orleans (and rural parts of Florida, before someone accuses me of only visiting big cities.) Quoting: Anonymous Coward 819626Without exception, every single person I met in the South treated me and my family very, very rudely. The cab drivers, the portes at the hotels, the staff in the restaurants...I realize some of you may be thinking that that is simply a thing in any big city, but, as I said, even in rural Florida people were extremely mean. I admit I come from a town that isn't really noted for being polite. But this was just plain rude, and it flew in the face of everything I've ever heard about the South. The taxi drivers wouldn't take us anywhere but the airport and would try to run up the meters. The porters wouldn't move our bags without a tip. As far as the waiters and waitresses and just the people in general, they all had a very stuck up attitude. All of the above, by the way, we observed treating the locals much more nicely. My last job was also owned and operated by a corporation from Virginia. Our warehouse in Philadelphia was actually the only one outside of the South. I was there since it opened, and we had a lot of supervisors and executives from the warehouses in the South come up here to train us. They were all very clannish and only liked to socialize with each other. The ones who were friendly would tell me things like, "The way you people dress up here is so funny" or "The furniture around here is so ugly" (it was a furniture warehouse.) I'd also get speeches on how rude and stuck up people from the North are, and how we all aren't nice enough. Also, as a whole, even the people from the South who live here now prefer other Southerners. For some reason I think they feel like its a privilege to be from the South. "Its a Southern thing" is something I've heard my whole life but as far as I can tell its northing worth having or admiring. So forgive this typical "yankee" for his colored attitude but its based on fact. I agree with you. I had family in Alabama so I was there a lot for a number of years. I didn't experience that famous southern hospitality. I think Midwesterners are friendlier. |

And we thought USA was same country.well when i moved to south of india i faced some prejudice but not much like you because i learned their language and customs They don't trust you. You have to live there for a while. Funny thing while in the Army (I'm retired), I was stationed at Ft Hood and getting ready to retire. My family and I lived in a small town in the hill country in Texas. We had gotten to know a few folks and told them we were moving to Cincinnati. Knowing that I was originally from Louisiana, I was constantly 'talked to' like I was a son of theirs because I was moving to 'Yankee territory'. Now that I have lived up here for a couple of decades I still sometimes feel like a fish out of water. For the most part they are friendly enough, they are just different. By the same token, if you go from Texas to say Louisiana it somewhat the same. I've noticed if you go from the Hill Country to NE TN there are a lot of similarities. There is a big difference form NE TN to western TN. Louisiana and western Mississippi are sort of the same. Arkansas and southern Missouri are sort the same. There are even differences in Texas. I can remember calling someone from Memphis a Yankee when I was young, but I had a really bad accent then. It's even the same in places like Ohio, Missouri, Michigan, New York, Germany, Korea, SW Asia, California, etc. The places that are rural generally distrust you until you are there for a while and they get to know you. Once they get to know you most (not all) consider you like family. BTW, rural Florida is a different cat than most of the South |

I don't doubt it. I just now (as in reading your response) found out that grits were corn. I've tried "grits" once in my life and thought they were nasty and never understood the hooplah over them. But the fact that grits are corn is news to me. Btw, I spent my childhood in Jackson, TN, and my teenage years in Fort Wayne, IN. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 1064466 United States 08/10/2010 09:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I lived in New York for 39 years and now have been in Charleston, SC for 5 years. I have found southerners to dislike northerners. They are very polite on the outside (Yes m'am, Yes Sir) but they will talk about you behind your back. They are very discriminating against northerners. In fact, in my neighborhood southern children can only play with other southern children. I think that although the southerners appear very polite by what they say, they are missing something. They don't know how to treat people kindly. |

INK User ID: 1185558 United States 12/16/2010 07:11 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Ever heard anyone rave about Minnesota barbeque? Quoting: JohnnyCarcinogenYea, and I'm a hell of a fan of BBQ being a Memphian. But have you ever seen a Philly cheesesteak done right down here? That's true. Oddly enough there is one exception here in Fort Worth. A place called Billadelphia's serves authentic Philly cheesesteaks. He even gets the Amoroso's rolls shipped down. I've never had a cheesesteak in Philly, but my old boss is from PA and he said that it was authentic. Of course the owner of the place is a Philly native, so it doesn't really count. Other than that I've never had anything close here. Pizza is another one. I've never had a deep dish as good as the ones in Chicago. Even the Uno's chains taste like shit compared to the original one downtown. In NY and NJ we don't consider deep dish to be real pizza. Thin crust, plain cheese, by the slice. Best ever. Chain pizza is a joke. |
