well thats a big DUH!!
They could have paid me to conduct this study and I would have given them the same answer in 2 seconds in stead of the weeks it took them to set up and conduct this study.
No, it really shows northerners are jackasses and rude and southerners aren't used to that.
If you flip out simply because someone bumps you, then you are spineless.
That being said, i personally have seen the exact opposite of this.
When southerners bump into each other, they usually say excuse me and move on.
I saw a lady with a distinctly New Jersey accent bump into someone a couple of days ago(because she wasnt watching where she was going), and like a stereotype right out of the movies, she said, "um, Im walking here, didnt you see me ?".
Not at all my experience when walking around NYC or Philly. In those towns people get plenty riled if someone bumps them on the sidewalk or train.
The experiment cited in the article did not take place on the sidewalk or train.
