"We also say "thank you", "you're welcome" , hold doors open, and help little old ladies across the street..............."

That's because us southern ladies demand to be treated like the ladies we are. The southern men are getting lax though. I was shocked at how many doors were NOT held open for me when I was 8mths pregnant with my daughter and trying to carry my toddler into a store. I was ready to use my 10Lb purse on some ungentlemanly men who would just let the door swing back into my face after they walked through ahead of me. Maybe they weren't real southerners.. I do live in a college town that draws a lot of non-southern guys.

I agree that southern men are getting way too lax in their manners. And their mamas should give them a good swack upside the head.

My pet peeve is those who keep their ballcaps on in restaurants. If they do not have enough energy to wash their hair to be presentable in public, they should just order in.
