Tennessee ranks 98% honest in tea experiment | The Tennessean | tennessean.com
Fitting since that's where most of the criminals are. :lo5l:Quote:
the least honest area was the District of Columbia, where only 80 percent paid at the stand in Washington, D.C.
Yes we are an honest bunch in Tennessee. :)
No surprise from me. I love TN, for a variety of reasons, the people being the first...
Im not surprised about Kentucky either. I deal with so many cheap bastards every day trying to get crap for free/cheap. one guy yesterday even tried to get me to bring the price down on a 50ft air hose because he only needed a 30ft hose and didnt need the extra 20ft.
ask him if he'd be willing to let his wife take 6" from another guy because she wants 10" and his 4" just isn't getting it done. then repeat the cost of the hose. :lol:Quote:

Well I'm sure that for people in Cali, only $1 for a bottle of tea is like 75% off normal price.
Good point :lo5l:Quote:

This has also proven something I already knew: To many heathens here in AZ who don't drink tea. Now kindly fuck off while I go get some more Bewly's from the cupboard...
This isn't about honesty, but people's attitude in general. I work a lot of federal compliance and occasionally call out to people for compliance issues. I talk to people all over this country and there is definitely a demographic of nicer and more bitter people depending on the state. Below is my list of almost always overly friendly states and bitter upset states. This is only from my personal experience which fairly plentiful.
Friendly:
1) Tennessee - almost always happy to talk to you and will even try to chat off topic.
2) South Carolina
3) Louisiana
4) California - usually very friendly though you get some VERY strange individuals.
Smaller population states are typically pretty friendly but it is hard to get a sample size worth mentioning.
Grumplegus states:
1) New York - always too busy and have more important things to do than adhering to federal compliance.
2) New Jersey - typically annoyed and people making loud noises in the background.
3) Georgia - it is black and white, either very friendly but usually act like you just ran over their dog.
4) Florida - older demographic that is frustrated for no reason in particular.
Fixed that for you.Quote:

For being so diametrically opposed when it comes to politics, socially the two are almost identical. Almost everyone in both states has that "Well, what are you going to do for ME?" attitude, refuses to accept they can (and usually are) at fault, and generally give poor attitudes. I can pick out many other states fairly accurate, but those two are some of the easiest to catch.
there's at least 25 states where accent is neutral.
No reason in particular? Have you ever tried to drive down here? Worst drivers in America... by a large margin.Quote:

I've lived in Ga my whole life and I worry about FL people more. that being said I think the bad driving in Ga is due to people being self important douches and FL is due to complete oblivion behind the wheelQuote:

to be fair I think trying to drive through that smell has got to be difficult.Quote:

I'm two hours away and have been for most of my life. 10 years ago it did smell terrible. They've cleaned the place up quite a bit lately. It's completely different from what it was only a few years ago.Quote:

Can't say that about the whole state though. Miami may have a lot of problems, but bad air isn't one of them. There's no industry down here and with the constant breeze and no mountains, there's nothing trapping the bad air like LA or Atlanta.Quote:

Downtown Atlanta is bad, but not nearly as bad as LA. And LA isn't nearly as bad as NYC.
I never noticed. :lol: perhaps if I went somewhere else and payed attention I'd think, "wow this is nice" :lol:Quote:

IDK, it was by far the worst driving I've ever seen. At least southern MI.

It's the most ridiculous thing I've seen in quite some time.
Michigan is a good test of driving abilities, especially in the winter.
Why has this gone from tea to driving/traffic? This is about TEA lol!
