It took me a while to figure out. Like I knew Southerners can be mean and judgy, but I didn’t think about how until I traveled to other places and saw how much more straightforward people are. It’s nice when kindness is kindness and there’s no underlying meaning.

Proudly have never had that said to me lol

It’s a subtly, yeah. There’s a lot of reading between the lines along, which is annoying if you’re not used to it.

Growing up in the South is learning to be mean by way of looking nice.

Like…stale or just…weird? I don’t know how to describe it. If it only smells like glass or cleaning such, it’s good. Anything else is bad.

Gotta smell the inside of a cup or bowl when taking it out of the pantry. If it smells wrong, I have to wash it first. I don’t know why.

Wouldn’t they deny your money because of the dates? You’d have to ensure you only have cash from pre-2003.
