I don’t think we are in court or in front of your bench.

If getting a free shrub treatment upsets you I’m staying way far from you

Well, good thing the real world is not "in court"...

What sidewalk?

yeah, i can't believe they would perform a service if they weren't being paid for it. new landscaping techs are always coming & going, & i agree it was employee error

Well said,
Manners are a thing here in the South. And if we didn't express them people would complain about that, just saying

I recall our first time down here, eating at Cracker Barrel. There was a lot of people waiting to be seated and I asked the hostess if it would be a long wait. She put her arm around me and said "why, it ain't gonna be that long at all, honey".

Another time, eating at a rib joint in Columbia, SC, my wife and I received our order and as we always do, said a blessing over our food. Before we could dig in, the lady behind the counter (who was also the cook--it was a small place) came to our table and said "the Lord already blessed you--let's swap those out", and replaced our rib portions with portions easily half again as large.

I come from Minnesota, the land of "Minnesota nice". But I think the people who truly believe that have never been out of the state. Southerners seem to have it all over we northern folk when it comes to "nice".

Well Said! Thank you.

Well put,

I don't understand the 250.00 for a golf ball. Are you using golf ball as a metaphor?, perhaps for something else

Yes, the Southerns are very friendly.
I'm surprised those Rebels lost the war.......LOL
