    I've been out of MA for like 18 years now. I still have an accent although it's apparently contentious (Boston says it's a NY accent; NY says it's a Boston accent. That's only if you want to get deep into the details of the NE. I have also found, when I was in FL for a bit, if you get three native New Englanders together and they have a normal conversation. Nobody from FL can understand what any of the three are saying once the latent NE accent appears. Too fast as well. It really blew my mind when 10 Floridians trying to listen couldn't make out a damn thing we were saying.

    I've worked in logistics business and there are _a lot_ of Mid-Western to Southern brokers. They all do the sir thing. I grew up in SoCal then in Toronto, so it is not in my vernacular. I am self-taught in the business so I also felt the "are they secretly done with me?" for a long time. Recently I finally change my thought process and just think it is their way of showing respect. So I do it back to them from time to time too. Can't be too polite after all lol.

Todays total is nine dollars and ninety nine cents, you can pull up to the second window now to collect your food" like they didn't even have to say thanks for choosing them I just wanna pull up the car ahead of me left 5 minutes ago.

    I've found one of the only things that makes me wanna go to the north east. I'm mostly scared of NYC, because I cannot stand crowds, but I gotta admit this direct language sounds appealing. Not that being where I am is gonna stop me from acting how I do, 'cause I can't help it. The eye contact thing isn't even something I was aware of, because I'm too autistic to notice how much eye contact everyone else wants. I don't think I make eye contact either, because what the hell's the point of staring at someone's eyes? When I was a kid I never got why it was supposed to indicate I'm listening to them, my ears are on the side of my head, not the front.

    Where in the northeast is Geega from? I'm a born and raised New Yorker (east Bronx) and people have ALWAYS used sir and ma'am. Yeah, depending on the tone when someone says it it can come off as patronizing and/or insulting but it SUPER OBVIOUS when that's the case. I'm slightly older (38) so maybe it's just a generational thing but it still comes off as weird that someone from the region would consider those words as automatically insulting.
