You think Southerns are back stabbers because they are really friendly at first... then they kind of back away and stop talking to you. Unlike people in Ohio they are friendly and willing to give everyone a chance. If they give you a chance and you turn out to be some kind of opinionated a-hole then they start avoiding you and treating you bad. Here is how to fit in and not seem like such an Ohio a-hole: if someone holds a door for you... pretend your not in Ohio and say thank you.
if you are standing next to someone in line... talk to them.
If your neighbor is outside watering the grass... talk to them
Calling something like you see is considered rude everywhere except Ohio. Not just the
South.
People in the South really don't care how you do things up north.

Unless your a jerk people in the South are really friendly. Whereas people in Ohio just avoid anyone who is an outsider... never getting to know you. It is like some kind of Stephen King novel.   See 14 other replies

Believe it or not, this show could take place in several towns in California. Mostly inland farm communities like San Bernardino, Stockton, Fresno. Well...... you get the idea. I think every state has its fair share of trailer trash. Don't even get me started on Arizona!I was in Ohio once. A place called Stuebenville. Creepiest town I've ever seen. Decrepid churches on every block , the people so pale and lifeless. Felt like a Stephen King novel. Ohio? No thanks.   See 14 other replies

What is wrong with Kentucky? I live here and it's not how they make it look like on tv shows, I've only seen a few rednecks here in my life.   See 14 other replies

WOW I wonder what part of Ohio you were in. That is where I am from is Ohio and I miss it. I live in the South now, and I think the people here are two-faced back stabbers. Charm doesn't come with lying. Most people can't handle Ohio people because we are harsh and call it like we see it. People hate to hear what others think of them. They also hate to be out worked. People just hate to look at themselves and Ohio doesn't fear the inevitable.   See 14 other replies

There is a Camden County Georgia and it is very similar to the show. In fact I have often wondered if one of the writers or produced lived there at one time. I made the accident of moving to Ohio nine months ago... and it sucks. The people of Ohio call themselves the Buckeyes, which a bitter, unsavory nut... apropos to describe the people. The scene in Columbus is about 10 years behind the rest of America. The most popular style of music is this uninspired Ohio bluegrass that has no passion, you should be happy if you never heard it. Columbus is overcasts about 340 days out of the year and despite the fact there over a million people in the greater Metro area, I feel like I am in Camden County Georgia again. The people of Ohio are proud of their state because they have never been anywhere else... except maybe Michigan or Kentucky. I have only met a handful of people who didn't grow up here... The natives are not charming or warm towards outsiders. I have lived all over America and I have never met so many horrible people. So if you get a good job offer in Ohio... don't take it. Unless you like unfriendly white-trash rednecks.   See 14 other replies

Every Ohioan I've ever known has been either a thief, an imbecile, or some combination of the two. Invariably, they all thought their state was the s*** and said so incessantly. I don't understand this.   See 14 other replies
