Damn, West coast manners VS East coast manners.

I am moving to the east coast soon, NYC area. I've been dealing with people from there all week. Damn people over there, or the people I have dealt with, don't trust people at all, are bossy and rude.
Is that how it is or did I just run into some pushy folks?

People from the west coast are crazy. People from the east coast are bitchy. People from the south are fake-nice. People from the southwest are grumpy from the heat. People from the north talk funny. People from the deep south are, well, you know. People from the midwest are boring.

Yep. I can confirm that. Only they call it "southern hospitality".
I generally find that there are an abundance of assholes everywhere, they just express it in different ways.
I actually like the NE because people are upfront, no bullshit.

Nice!
That description of the South describes most of my family to a T! I veered from their training, as soon as I started seeing the fakeness. Not that I don't love my familly. Far from it, but they do irritate me with their mannerisms. I can only be around them for a certain amount of time before I get batty and irritable.
I didn't catch the bitchiness of the New Yorkers, when I lived there, but maybe I was just in a time of blessedness. It sure felt like it. My time in NYC was some good times. I look forward to the next time I pass through the Lincoln Tunnel, again!

I can't stand the people around here. Being polite is one thing, but giving you the fuckin run around for a week is another.
I visited my cousin in Jersey a couple months ago and I loved how people would just tell me if I they couldn't find any weed or something without the old "I'll give you a call back".

I have lived in south (texas) south west (new mexic) pacafic northwest (seattle Wa) and now deep''ish south. Well.... I liked the fact that seattle had little or not allergies lol (atleast that i reacted to). I liked how it wasnt crazy conservative types. However i like the sun here. The people here are SUPER SUPER FAKE. They will dislike you, hate you and when others are around act REALLY nice. I thought this was an isolated event but it transends the entire social structure. However fucked up people are everywhere. From many peoples point of view i am evil because im not christian (oh so many lectures about this) so its all subject to how you view it.

ive lived in washington most of my life, but untill recently for a month a year i lived in Conneticut. what ive realized is on the west coast its more laid back, people are more willing to "give you a break" if you know what i mean.
on the east coast its like that beatles song "everybody's running around at such a speed untill they find theres no need" cept for the fact they havent found out there is no need.

Only problem about living in WI, is that fry is near impossible to find, and pills are dirty as hell. In many cases, not to say there hasn't been good shit around, its just from what I hear with people living on the east/west coast, shit is just more available. You coaster folk need to be hooking it up to the middle states damnit, share the goods! -Helge

There's a difference between being an asshole and being fake. The people around here will be fake nice as hell and you know it and they know that you know it,but they still do it.
I'd rather someone just go tell me to fuck myself. It saves me the time at least.

i find that people from the NYC area are generally actually very nice and helpful.. you just have to be upfront and know what you want from them. Generally, they don't have time to sit around and BS w/ some slacker from the west coast that's busy staring at the sun or something... the pace of life here is almost 180degrees different from the west coast.
