I agree totally, especially about people from the mid west. I was born and raised in the south (Ga). There is nowhere I would rather live than the south for many reasons but through the years I have lived enough places to realize that southern hospitality is a bunch of crap. The ones who promote the myth are usually the most two faced, calculating people you will find. They will smile at you while they stab you in the back. At least New Yorkers are direct when they tell you you are being mugged.
