We experienced this "hospitality" out in Pee-bitty back during The EXPO 2011. Jeff Grove drove us to the F&SM and he was kind to let folks over in traffic. Not one Bay Stater waved "thank you" back at us. Out here in The South it is common practice to wave "thank you" when someone lets you into traffic.
I guess it is a good thing we didn't get the local salute of choice after all =))

Jaime,
If you have out of state plates on your car, we just ignore you. Except for Floridians. We know that Floridians in this part of the country are dumb, slow and dangerous. They get special treatment. You can't really understand Massachusetts drivers unless you live here. But, be fair warned: Rhode Islanders are worse then Bay Staters when they get behind the wheel.

There is a fine line between fishing and standing on the shore looking like an idiot.

God created idiots...I just did not realize he created so many.
