You can take the girl out of the south...



One thing that absolutely drives me INSANE about South Florida, is how the majority of the people here have no manners, and are not helpful AT ALL.

Seriously.
Where I'm from (gotta love the south) the people in department stores greet you with a smile. The servers in restaurants aren't trying to rush you out the door. The people driving down the street wave at you for no reason at all. Everyone holds the door open for the person behind you. We also say EXCUSE ME, PLEASE, THANK YOU, and YOU'RE WELCOME! Ma'am and Sir are heard frequently no matter where you are, and someone is always willing to help you. Even if they don't really have the time, they do it anyway...because they know that someday soon, they'll need someone to help them.

People here are really, really rude.
When you leave home, you never think you'll miss it. But...I do. I miss home. Granted, I AM happy here living so close to the beach, not to mention all the other advantages of living down this way.
I miss manners, hospitality, friendly people, and GOOD SWEET TEA!!
