Ugh, I'm sick of the Jersey attitude. Maybe I need to move to Arizona for a while!
No offense to anyone but when's the last time a stranger in NJ smiled at you? What's the deal with having to be so "tough"? Anyone tried breaking the ice with a jersey girl lately (not in a bar)? The stone cold look of death is so... scary...

You say something to people and they look at you like you're going to hit them. As for hand jestures they were on the drivers test, weren't they?
Look at all this crap about natanyahu, he grew up outside Philly he is just speaking normally and everyone thinks he's being offensive
PS; The wife and I were arguing about the name of that BIG Japanese Resturant on 130 North of Camden?
We're in AZ, anyone know?
happens to me everyday in SOUTH Jersey... This place is extremely friendly..

Growing up in a neutral location (Wilmington,) I can say the difference between Philly and Jersey for me was that there was something snotty about people from Jersey. Never understood why, but just a generally snobby attitude. I felt like they thought they were hot sh|t.
I have yet to see this "Jersey" attitude anywhere outside of Brooklyn. Even in North Jersey I run into a bunch of snobby (yet good looking,) rich white people.
What I definitely don't see is any roughneck attitude (Delaware Co, Fishtown,) outside maybe the Camden hood attitude.. but that isn't unique to New Jersey.
Not that I try to judge (or offend,) but that is what the thread is about.

Sagami in Collingswood? It's not that BIG, but it is very popular, especially among Japanese businessman who are in the area. A lot of the guys from the Mitusbishi Fuso HQ in Swedesboro swear it is the most authentic Japanese place they have been to in the states.

We have a winner, Sagami was the one we were arguing about. Thank you.
We haven't been there for a decade.

I'm a gal who grew up in Hawaii where everyone is super friendly. I've tried to apply that "Aloha spirit" here in NJ and it works pretty well. I make it a point to greet people, say hello, make eye contact, etc. Sometimes people are initially surprised but usually acknowledge me with a greeting or smile. My philosophy is to just be super friendly to folks and perhaps that will rub off.
One thing I won't miss though is that attitude when driving. People are just so rude and aggressive. People can be rude anywhere but drivers around here really get on my nerves for some reason.

Agreed.
It's really all relative. I lived most of my life in North Jersey and moving here was a refreshing change. By comparison, everyone around here is friendly. Try holding a door for someone in a North Jersey diner and see if you get a "thank you".Now if someone moved here from the midwest or the south, they may feel differently.
I don't think South Jersey has any of the attitude that stereotypical "Jersey" has....like it or not.
