goldstategop,
Actually, you'll probably find folks here in the South to be the most hospitable in the world -- providing you don't come here and start looking down your nose at Southernors, and trying to push "the way we do it up nawth" on the folks here.
Really, that happens a lot. Northernors flee the highly taxed, highly regulated and screwed up areas up north to a fresh start in the South. But once here, they proceed to screw things here up. Look down on us Southernors and commence to telling us how to run things here.
I had a good example of this happen to me yesterday. I was in the Smokies, at a campground, crossing the road with a five year old holding my hand, on the way to the bathroom. A guy with a northern car tag and an attitude tried to run over me, I guess cause I wasn't moving fast enough and he just couldn't wait to get the 10 yards to where he was going.
What needs to happen to an idiot like that is a big burly Southern redneck needs to jerk his smart ass outta the car and proceed to rearrange his face and teeth. There really is no excuse for somebody being such an asshole.
And someone so miserable that they can't slow down a little and let a woman and kid cross the road (in a laid back vacation setting) really just needs to quit bothering with leisure, just stay up north and be a jerk till he falls over dead with a heart attack from his anger and stress.
Did you happen to catch the plate? New Hampshire has such stringent crosswalk laws that I have seen MANY a near-accident caused by drivers slamming on the brakes because someone standing on the sidewalk happened to turn toward the curb; regardless of whether or not they intended to cross the street. The driver you encountered (sounds like New Jersey or Massachusetts) certainly deserved an old fashioned ass-kickin'...
