(21,020 posts)there's a similar hatred for the north going on down south.
If the daughter in law of some friends is any indication, I would guess there is. Of course, I can't judge everyone by one asshole, but she sure doesn't make me want to visit Texas anytime soon.
Her hubby was transferred from his base in TX last year soon after their marriage. He's a Mass native. She's from Lubbock.
Wasn't even here two weeks before she started complaining about everything up here. The regional fair wasn't as big as the one in Texas. The food sucks. The weather sucks. The roads suck. And New Englanders are "rude".
All this, mind you, after saying that New England was "full of loud-mouthed obnoxious Italians".
Last week she started up again. Calling New Englanders rude, saying how much she hates it here and making it sound like hell on earth. She has all her friends and family on Facebook praying for her to get the strength to "endure" up here.
Oh please...
And she makes sure that all her in-laws (who live up here) and Facebook friends know just how disgusted she is with New England.
I actually ended up defriending AND blocking her on Facebook because I wasn't sure I could avoid giving her a verbal smackdown.
So anyway...I would bet that we up here in NE are just as vilified by ignoramuses in the south as the other way around.
