North vs South


Ok this is base of course on my personal experiences of living in both the south and north. I was born and raised in the south and boy are things different than the north.

1. Northern People say Good Heavens...Southern folk (where I come from) say good grief.

2. Northern people say you guys...Southern folk say ya'll.

3. Most northerners think that a mild hot sauce is hotter than hell itself...Southerns pile on the flaming hot sauce and yell for more.

4. Northerns just say yeh and no and think nothing of it...Southerns say yes ma'am no ma'am yes sir no sir or expect to be slapped.

Grant it some of this may be a little different depending on where you grew up...but this is just how my life was and is. When I first started working I was picked on a lot because of 2 reasons. I talked with a weird accent that people nevertheless loved, and because I used ma'am and sir. It was like really foriegn to them for some reason...I didn't see what the big deal was. I have noticed since I've been there...people have began using the phrases...sir and ma'am. It's pretty cool at how one point they all laugh at you and yet in time they begin to pick it up. I never forced anyone to use the words or anything...I just show respect for all, whether they be costumers, managers or just side by side co workers. Most people think that only bad habits are picked up and carried on...I believe this proves this 'belief' to be untrue.

Work was ok today. Really hectic and busy and old people don't like me for some reason...well not all anyways. Everyone kept calling me cute today for some reason haha I don't know why...it's like I was a little kid or something I am just glad they didn't pinch my cheeks lol. There was a point in my day though I don't know if I was just overwhelmed or what...but I was thinking of Penny and I just started crying. Of course I couldn't just hop online and see if she was ok or whatever...so I just said a prayer. Poor Joseph wasn't feeling well...but he'll pull through. Anywho that was my day I suppose...oh did I mention I have like the best flippin friends ever???
