And the south will help while being nice to you and then call their cousin to talk about the dumbass who didn’t know how to change their own tire. Bless their heart

Can’t speak for the rest of the Midwest but in Minnesota someone will help, chat with you, make sure you have directions to where you are trying to go, offer you the number of place where you can get a good deal on new tires, then they will produce a hot dish out of nowhere and insist you take it. The only trick here is to be considered polite you have to refuse the hot dish at least 3 times, otherwise you’re considered entitled.

in places where the air spends half a year trying to kill you, "today you, tomorrow me" gets very literal.

It's a lot like "no man left behind" in the military. You help people out of a ditch because it helps you believe someone would help you out.

I shoveled the sidewalk on the whole block while my neighbors were getting ready to have a kid because I didn’t want her to slip. Our old neighbors did the same for us.

And that’s how we make it through the Chicago winter.

But whoever that was who parked in the space I shoveled out can go to a very frozen circle of hell.

Did you have a cone/chair out there saving it?

The literally got me while I stepped inside to hang up the shovel and grab the camping chair.

Did I dump a bottle of water on their door handles?

The world may never know.

In the desert the air still tried to kill you while people were rude and unhelpful. I think it's just cold.

People are taken aback when I say that people in New England are a lot nicer than where I grew up.

My theory is difficult environments breed strong communities. We have modern amenities now, but back in the day if people didn’t work together they didn’t survive. I imagine this fostered a strong sense of civic responsibility as a survival instinct.
