The cashier acted like my money wasn't good enough, people were staring, my texas plates were getting me treated like poo poo everywhere i stopped and dude I've been all over the south and up the southern east coast, and i've never been treated with the kind of hostility I got on that trip. The person I was meeting was in an apartment building with people just sitting outside, staring. Yeah dude, midwest death stare. At least an oklahoman death stare.

I noticed it talking to old timers around Austin. I'm from DFW and when I came to terms with it: ![]() I was the Okie all along.

At least an oklahoman death stare. i've been all over the midwest including oklahoma and find people are on average friendlier than anywhere else in the country, including the south. either you were in some bizarre town or the problem was on your end but when I think of cultures with "death stares" the midwestern United States is about the last place I think of

Technically I live in a stopover state thank you very much They stop here and choke down TGI Friday's at the airport, and their money then circulates through our economy like how those Jack Sliders circulate through their gastrointestinal systems. We're crafty like that. BrutalistMcDonalds fucked around with this message at 01:36 on Sep 9, 2016 |

TenementFunster posted:yeah man, I'm sure it's just that a bunch of Okies have never seen a different license plate from a neighboring state before and were confused and angry. Maybe this was during football season . . . there's that annual Sooner vs. Longhorns thing, the Red River Shootout. They take that rather seriously around Norman. LOVE, VITALIS

oklahoma is a national center of vaping and vape culture. because there are a lot of smokers in oklahoma, see. it's disproportionate because it's one of those pleasures that allow you to cope with living in oklahoma. but vaping is preferable obviously. also it's cheap to live there and open a small business. so BAM. vape shops everywhere. (six percent of the nation's total, despite oklahoma having only one percent of the nation's population.) so vape up, okies. ![]() BrutalistMcDonalds fucked around with this message at 01:56 on Sep 10, 2016 |

It's so sad to see old people walking around with those vaping boxes. It reminds me of my dear old departed cat still trying to hunt when he was old and fat had no muscle mass left.
