Simstim posted:it looks like a literal pie with tomato filling Typical for cuisine outside of the NYC metro. Flaky wafer crusts with unseasoned colored goop that you spoon into your gaping maw between Bud Lights, shipped out in bulk from some fat food factory churning out this crap premade. Italian-American bakers, Jewish deli owners, dozens of small independent fiercely competitive pizzerias or bagel shops in every neighborhood, this stuff doesn't exist outside of north Jersey and non poo poo NYC. The expectation of excellence is an unspoken custom in food or the bad word of mouth by entitled arrogant blowhard locals will tank your business within weeks. People don't even know what pizza is in this thread. Least you don't know what you're missing.

Like op I sell insurance but I'm in ct so clearly im an expert Nothing worse than dealing with someone from Midwest or south. Interactions that should take 2 minutes are stretched to 5x as long Sometimes because they use too many words but mostly because they talk so Goddamn slow Im dyin over here hurry it up

That "pizza" looks absolutely disgusting. It looks like a 7 year old heard what a pizza is and just started putting everything into a crust and then threw it in an oven. That is supposedly "good"? Trufax about the Southern convo taking forever. I don't get it a lot in the Midwest, but its true that a conversation that ought to take 5 minutes takes like 15 because they want to drop their life story or talk about the latest happenings. Actually I take that back, North Eastern calls can take a while too, but its not because they are overly polite. Its usually because they are bitching about something and go on and on and on about how right they are and how wrong everyone else is. Like I mentioned before, half of being friends with NYCers isn't being nice to them or having anything in common, but rather being mean about something or someone else. Its really strange.

Surprisingly the South isn't the worst offender here (rudeness), its those goddam Yankee's in the North East. Mispronounce one of their vowel-laden cities? They get mad. Don't immediately know the difference from "214 Fifth Street" (said really fast) and "204 Six Street" when it was really 294 Fifteenth Street all along!

Morkies posted:lol is there any region of the us you dont hate As noted in the OP, Des Moines is pretty much the mecca of the US and certainly of the US. I talk to people all across the US every day, and this is just a kind of aggregate point of view I've developed over a year and a half. People in the South are pretty long winded and sometimes rude. People in the North East are mega rude and treat every interaction like someone is out to get them at every turn. They also have a strong ingroup/outgroup bias it seems. Its kind of a tie though between most rude. Its either North Easterners or anyone in a major city except maybe Atlanta. NYC takes the King Rude cake, but Indianapolis, Philadelphia, loving DETROIT, people are rude as hell the larger city they are in. But yeah North Easteners take it as a personal offense if you aren't capable of precognition on their situation.

Lol As Des Moines is the largest insurance city in the United States and has some of the lowest unemployment in the country. A swing and a miss. Also why do Southerners put more syllables in words than there are? Nine becomes two syllables. So does ten. What gives? Why are they teaching that in school, its objectively incorrect pronunciation of an English word.

Deep dish pizza isn't pizza it's a quiche, I'm sorry Chicago, but you can't fix your gently caress up by calling it something else. Also gently caress NYCers who move out of the city and into the tristate area. All you do is bitch and moan about how the water and the dough are special and how things were done different in Brooklyn. Well guess what, you're not in Brooklyn and we know it's because your five dollar rear end couldn't make it there and you couldnt handle being just another face in the crowd. Best game to play while visiting Manhattan is count how many seconds until a car horn goes off. I hear if you make it past a minute Mayor de Blasio comes down and shakes your hand for finding the one quiet spot on the island.

You load them up with cheese casserole and then roll them into taxis while they're too sluggish to fight back. The taxis take them to the north suburbs where they serve our lords and masters as slaves in their palatial mcmansions.

The noise thing is true. I get people calling me in NYC and I swear they are in times square, and ny drivers have to press a button for their horn NOT to go off. I think I've used my horn while driving like......three times in 10 years. Maybe not call me during rush hour while standing outside or driving like a maniac.

North Easterners will literally fight to the death over a parking spot. Iowans (and much of the rest of the Good States) know that kind of poo poo is beneath them, and only draw when actually provoked. Its like this at 1:13 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Skuislpe7Fc except replace "white" with "Not a bitch made rude rear end New Yorker"

I've done a lot of phone work over the years, and my experience differs from yours. Most of the Northeast is fine to deal with, and I'm fine with New Yorkers. Rapid-fire speech is much better than rambling drawls, as far as I'm concerned. Worst places to deal with were Maryland, Florida, and Louisiana, mostly. Rude, entitled, and generally stupid people. Utah is also pretty stupid, but at least they are generally pretty docile and well-meaning. Also, pretty much the whole of Pennsylvania outside of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh must be some special kind of hell. I hated dealing with anyone from there.
