East Coast personality vs West Coast personality

The definition of “I’ll help but I’m gonna complain the whole time” 😂

“In New York, no one is nice until you get to know them. In LA, everyone is nice until you get to know them” greatest quote from another on here.

[CSI]

I prefer kindness over niceness. A person can fake being nice, but they cannot fake being kind.

As a guy from Jersey, I can attest. I was 19, on the side of the road with a flat tire and had an old white dude pull over and say “i’ve never seen a mexican struggle so hard change a tire my f-ing life. (I’m Peruvian🤣) and I responded, “get your saggy balls over here, pops and help out”. We both laughed and he proceeded to help me get my spare tire on.

I live in the eastern US and I always took our way of talking when offering help as a way to downplay our kind actions so the recipient doesn't feel like a charity case or something. We help others because it's the right thing to do and it feels good. Not to feel high and mighty or to get a pat on the back. That's the way I've always taken it at least.

Well like they say: "Fake friends talk shit behind your back; Real friends talk shit to your face."

Actions speak louder than words. I’ll take the kindness of actions over the nice sweet nothings of words.

A nice person will tell you what you want to hear, but a kind person tells you what you need to hear.

As a NYer, this is dead on accurate. I’ve encountered situations such as an old man crossing the street slowly during rush hour. I legit thought, “look at this old bastard taking his time, better hold up traffic so he can get to the other side safe”.

Northern Canadians: " Oh you got a flat tire eh? Well here, you can have my wife and kids"

I'm from Tennessee and I swear there is always some good Ole boy, in a pickup, driving around just looking to fix tires and pull people out of ditches. Never fails, just wait about 30 minutes or so, they'll be there. 💯

“What the fuck is wrong with you?” Is pretty much Boston’s slogan. And 9/10 times it’s playful and endearing. It’s a unique flavor of kindness.

Meanwhile, in the Midwest, "Oop. You got a flat tire? Well here, let me give you one of mine."

[kevingeezy]

"New Yorkers will stab you in the front, Californians will stab you in the back" truer word never said by a homeless guy in Berkeley

[keionda]

"This f*ckin guy" a formal Boston greeting

[sebytro]

In Eastern Europe they are nice and kind, will help you fix your flat tire and give you some fresh bread. After they leave you realise your car is gone.

“I gotta help this fuckin old man” has actually come across my mind

[elizacarrie]

NYC friends will cuss you out and pass you in line if you’re slow, but you tell ‘em you’re alone this Christmas and you’re not anymore

[falcon]

“How the f*ck did you get this far. Goddamn it, let me help you out.”

“Oh sh*t that looks bad. Good luck mate!”

[EbonyAbraxas]

In the south, they change your tire, get you a meal, and tell everyone how sad it is you don’t have a man to do that sort of thing for you 😂
