You are correct. BUT some folks seem to have lived in surroundings that encouraged LESS restraint on their speech and actions.

Not everyone in Ohio is polite. We have had a lot of people move there from OTHER areas.

I am JUST kidding, Well sorta.

I stopped in Toojays to pick up some cookies at the Deli part yesterday.

The ticket taker thingy that allows you to take numbers wasn't working and there was a little crowd there. I laughingly said, "It's o.k. I'm from Ohio, I'll go to the back of the line" which made several people laugh and say that they too were from Ohio and they understood.

Being polite is acting kind even if you're not.
