Nope. I'm up in Yankeeland. Southern bred, but Yankee born. I was born in Flint, MI and moved to Clio at age 5. Been here ever since. Born and raised in Genesee county.
If I ever had to pick sides, I think I'd stand for who was ever in the right. One thing I know for sure is a southern man has more manors in his little finger than most yankees have in their whole soul and body. You could walk down the street in Kennett and a man on the other side of the street would nod and say howdy. You can ride 10 floors on an elevator up here and not have anyone make eye contact with you.

Bro that’s actually why I moved here. I’m from bigger cities. Everyone is rude, in a hurry, inconsiderate. Man honestly if I made a list like this, it would absolutely be TL;DR. Funny your explanation is so similar to mine. So being from the west coast, the whole west coast, lived in all three states. I relate things the same way. Being from cali if someone raised their hand at you while driving they’re flipping you off. So I get to a small town in Oregon, I notice people are raising their hand at me as I drive passed. So I flip them off, confused why everyone is flipping ME off. Eventually I pass by another car slow enough that I realized they’ve been waving at me the whole time /sigh. I have a little town heart with a big town personality. So ya the above statements, I believe they’re all true. Sadly in my above experience you can tell that I was social conditioned to be rude to people. I had never seen people be nice for no reason. In todays wild society, I’m more glad than ever I live in the middle of nowhere.
