    Moved from Midwest to West to South. In the South, they use “How are ya?” as a greeting. I was not aware. So for the first few weeks/months, I was answering them honestly and just loving how friendly everyone was!

    Took me a while to understand you’re just supposed to say “Good-n-you?”

    Felt like a fuckin idiot.

      How’s it going?

      It’s fucking stupid, though I do the same thing.

      Well, hang in there…
