Sluggish South??

Is the south slow, or is the north just really fast paced? Is it laziness or are people up north just always in a rush for no reason? I told all my friends up north that people down here are so slow. My mother always tells me she's nervous I am going to become more slow from living down here. She always gets mad at me for my "chill" or "relaxed" personality. It's not that I'm slow, for the most part I am "chill" and "relaxed", but I know when to be. Every job I'v ever had I have always gotten promoted. In one month being at a high-end grocery store, I went from scanning veggies to Floor Manager and Book-keeper. Only if my mom could realize I am different from how I am at work and how I am at school/work. I feel as though this relates to the south. People are not lazy down here, they just have a whole different way of looking at life. Why rush it, and get pissed off at the person who can't get the change out of his pocket quick enough. Everywhere I go with my mom she ends up getting pissed at someone:whether were at CVS getting shampoo or at Starbucks getting coffee. Whenever she says something to someone she gives them such an attitude. I usually nudge her on the side and tell her to stop and she usually does. Then we walk out of the store and I ask her why she got so aggravated and I tell her it wasn't the cashiers fault. Then I go on and ask her "What the hell are we in a rush for?" Were usually just going straight home, therefore there was no need for her to get mad in the first place.
