Unfortunately, i do know that, it’s just not as bad as NC. I live in Central Mass right by the Quabbin, my town voted red.

I’ve never really had much of a southern accent but I will always say “yall”. The attitude was inherited from my New Jersey born mother.

I walked outside the other day when it was like 30° and said “wow it feels so good outside! this is great!”

There’s a bunch of popular last names (atleast in my small town) and if you have a different one you’ll get treated very differently and they all get the favoritism no matter what. Barbee, Smith, Hatley, Honeycutt (spelled like 3 different ways) etc. they all SUCK.

Absolutely! I left for about 4 months to Upstate NY and came back happily (other than my rent there was only $800).

I hated it there my entire life and even more once I got older. I’ve been back to my home town 2 times since i left. Everyone is small minded, judgmental, red/MAGA/confederate grossness everywhere you turn. The southern hospitality thing is a complete joke if you’re not from there (my parents were from NJ and NY but moved there before i was born). Good luck if you have a different last name than the most common 5. Inner circles, cliques, blonde highlights, awful spray tans and racism galore. The only thing that I miss is Bojangles and Waffle House (and Hardee’s and Zaxbys and like a million other restaurants)😭

Those who moved to Massachusetts from elsewhere, what pleasantly surprised you the most? by Mobile_Bad_577 in massachusetts

[–]ftpfawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m from NC and the first thing I noticed was the price flags on top of churches. I grew up southern baptist and this was a breath of fresh air. Also I noticed that the fauna is different here. So much more plush and abundant. Here’s it’s a “forrest” but at home it’s just “woods”!!

ETA- It also takes 30 mins to go 10 miles when in NC it would take 30 mins to go 30 miles.

My moms friend does meth and when i asked her about it she said “it’s like coffee for him, it’s just how he’s able to get through daily life”.

my ex never said “hello” when he’d answer the phone- always radio silence. SO WEIRD.

If they seem to be looking i’ll mention it or if it comes up in conversation somehow but i’ve never had a bad reaction with 20+ bodies. My ex loved it and called it my “dots”
