You think people in the North are less shitty than the South?
I slid into a ditch the other day during an ice storm. I was a little worried since it was almost night, I was far from home, tow trucks were backed up for hours, I was low on gas, and it was approaching 0 degrees Fahrenheit.
Luckily I live in the South and had 3 different people stop to make sure I was okay and offer me a ride and one of them even pulled my car out. Everyone here is so nice, almost too nice sometimes. I've had similar turnouts when I was just pulled over on the side of the road not needing assistance. Constantly having to wave people on because they were so willing to help someone they thought was in need. It's not like I was some pretty young Southern girl either, I'm a middle aged hairy guy...
I lived in Baltimore for a couple years and got a very contrasting experience. Where I live, you make eye contact at the store, you smile, and you move on, maybe a nod. NOT IN BALTIMORE! These people act like you're some sort of psychopath if you even look at them. I made eye contact with this guy and started yelling at me asking what my problem was. I thought I was going to get into a fight with this guy just for being polite!
