Sad that she
felt this way
made the video
posted it online,

and sad that people are making fun of her.

Not humanity at its finest.

Is this clip real? Or is it meant to be ironic? can't tell. If real, God help us all.

It is real. I tell you, there are people like this. They are named: my MIL and my SIL.

I was also thinking "this girl totally reminds me of my SIL."

Pure comedy gold, people! I'm not sure what I love most -- the flat accent, the gum chewing, the inexplicable obsession with scented candles, or the air quotes. Or, when she takes a sniff of the Peach Bellini candle lid to calm herself down. LOL. However, I really wish she would've somehow managed to work "pop" into the rant a few times!

As funny (and true to life) as a lot this is, I have to come to the defense of my fellow Midwesterners!! Obviously, not everyone in the Midwest acts or sounds like the person on this video. And they are hands down the nicest people anywhere in the country.

What about the waste of time and mental energy and any God-given talent trashing this poor woman. A total f-waste.

So far I've spent about as much time on this topic as this girl has spent choosing one Bath and Body scented candle. And she has, apparently, about 1 million of them.

No, they really are not. I've lived both on the East Coast and in the Midwest, and I personally think this is often said, but not really borne out in personal experience.

This is a joke, right?

Not PP, but I grew up in the Midwest. I think it really depends on where you are in the Midwest v. East Coast. I think most Midwesterners are always more polite than most East Coasters, but not always "nicer." They can be stand-offish and provincial and in their own world. If you move to a lot of Midwestern cities from elsewhere, you will have a hard time making friends. Minneapolis, especially, is a place that is socially cold. On the other hand, Chicago gets a big influx of new blood and is both polite and warm.

Most East Coasters strike me as less polite, but warmer and more social and less reserved. A New Yorker is perfectly happy to talk to you and give you an opinion. They might be really blunt about it, but it's meant with honest intentions. Folks in Boston and Philadelphia struck me the same way.

OP how did you even FIND this video? LOL what were you searching for on you tube?

Yes, this has been exactly my experience. See part above where I have bolded. If I was not from the Midwest, they didn't really quite know what to do with me, and so, ignored me. And chose to hang out with other Midwestern people.

This is true even if you move cities within the Midwest.

Obviously, this is hysterical. But I also just cannot get over someone who has the time to search multiple stores for particular candles? Who has this kind of time?!

I have found this even in Chicago. Once there ("the capital of the Midwest," as I like to call it), Wisconsin people love to meet other Wisconsin people, Michigan people love to meet other Michigan people, Ohio people love to meet other Ohio people. "You went to Northern Eastern Southern Western Illinois State? Wow, so did I! And so did Katie, and Sarah, and Melissa, and Jen!! Oh, you? You are from Virginia? Where is that? Did you grow up on a cotton plantation? Ha ha, I am hilarious [everyone from the Midwest, none of whom have been to VA, laugh] Oh, Jen! I wanted to tell you a funny story about someone from our hometown! Bye, VA person!"

I am the PP who made the initial comment about Midwesterners being nice. I can understand both of the points made above, and it may very well depend on where in the Midwest you are. I can't speak to Minneapolis, for example, but I've lived in various cities large and small across the Midwest and have always found people to be very polite, genuine and warm. People in DC generally are not. I also travel to NY, Boston and Philly a lot, and while I really like those cities, I definitely do not get a sense that people there are generally "warmer" or "nicer". More talkative? Sure. More social? Depends. In my experience, if you are warm and friendly to people in the Midwest, you will get warm and friendly back. If you are full of yourself or insincere, they may still be polite but they aren't going to go out of their way to befriend you and invite you into their lives. Obviously we're speaking in generalities and everyone's experience is different, but that's just my two cents.

Not the PPs, but how is that different from any other area of the country? I have heard those same conversations in California, Boston, you name it. Don't most people like it when they meet others who went to their same school, or are from the same area? I don't see why you think this is specific to the Midwest.

I don't care if this means I'm an asshole. This is amazing and I can't wait to watch it again. Thanks, OP!
