Now I get the M.Whip commercial with the sexy new neighbor and the pearl clutching.

Who chews gum in church, even as a Jew I know that's just rude.

I completely agree with #10 and still do this.  Its just polite.

lol at #8. Uh, no.

I do wait for everyone to get food. Just a habit, really.

Yup

Lol at the bit that says you should ALWAYS win a politeness war. Let the standoffs begin.

Some of these just seem like common sense, and others I've never heard of. I laughed at #8 until I read the paragraph... Southerns gossip more than anyone else, I think.

And almost all Southerns use Duke's Mayonnaise.

I actually obey all of these except #3. I hate pastels.

#1 not just ANY mayonnaise, it has to be Duke's.
Bless your heart is the most versatile phrase ever. It could mean you're an idiot or that someone actually feels sympathetic towards you. You may never know which one.

Sometimes I think these things are so dumb but these are actually really good!

Isn't most of this common outside of the South except for saying "bless her heart"? We shun Miracle Whip in Norcal too. I always grew up thinking it was something people from the East Coast liked.

@MotherofPearl85, bless your heart, if you've never had Dukes.  There really is no use for any mayo, other than Dukes, to even be made!    <--- Obviously from the South

I live in Texas and have never heard of Dukes. What is this magic you speak of!?

Duke's is like homeade mayonnaise.  It's really good especially if you are cooking something with mayonnaise.

A little pricey through Amazon, but for those who are wondering:

Holy shit, why is it so expensive on Amazon?

#10 is important.

I have tried Duke's mayonnaise.  Unfortunately, it still tastes like mayonnaise.

Hate may be a strong word but I loathe pastels and Smocking. I have never understood the Smocked trend. It looks so dated. And sure enough, every line for Santa Claus will have the matching smocked outfits family.

And I do not do mayonnaise. It's not natural, you guys. Ketchup comes from tomatoes, mustard from mustard seeds (I don't do mustard either though), and mayonnaise comes from oil and eggs? Gross.

I grew up in Iowa but my dad would always put himself between us and the road.  I like it.  It's sort of protective still....
