Clois,

It's perfectly fine if you have not. I was simply speaking from experience, not saying that any other states are not like that. I'm originally from PA, and aside from my family, I have never been thanked up there personally! Again, this is just my experience.

My experience is also this, I got a flat tire in oklahoma, 4 people pulled off to the side of the highway to help me out. It was just me and the wife at the time and I could have easily handled the job on my own. Got a flat on my last trip from OKC to PA. It was night time, raining, baby screaming in OH at a gas station. I was sick and had hernia surgery about a week earlier. People walked by me for an hour or so while I changed the tire. not even one offer to help, I had to have my wife tighten the lugs and lift the tire onto the hub because I was so sore at that point! We had to half unload the truck just to get the spare tire out from underneath it. It was horrible! It has just been my experience that people in the south are more hospitable and "compasionate" that's all.
