[quote=Anonymous]OP here. These responses are hilarious, and I really do mean that. (-: I do the basic polite mannerisms such as please, thank you, greeting strangers on the street (except in busy downtown DC), giving up seats to elderly, not criticizing people directly, etc. The one difference is that people from my mid-Atlantic hometown generally wouldn't go out of their way to make a polite comment on something they found displeasing (ugly shoes, for example). Most people I know from my hometown probably wouldn't say anything, wishing to avoid focusing on something awkward. On the other hand, people from my hometown will say "Let's get together sometime," even if they don't mean it. I personally avoid doing that, but then again, I know I'm a bit slow on the take in some social situations. I'm going to check out that book, thanks! [/quote]
