i found myself in a nowhere town in OK one day, off i-35 no less, on my way to what would be a really weird day, and getting gas. Getting gas. GETTING GAS. 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.
maybe the issue is you're a weirdo goonlord and not your license plates

I live in Dallas and never really thought Oklahomans had a different accent

Like, obviously they're aping the Texan accent and not the other way around, but I can't tell the difference
It's the same accent.

Out west people talk like No Country for Old Men. Central Texas is kinda... clipped in tone. I noticed it talking to old timers around Austin.

I'm from DFW and when I came to terms with it: :negative:

I was the Okie all along.

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.

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.

Oklahoma and Texas are the same place.

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.

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.

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.
