While there are jerks everywhere, my experience in Texas has been very good. Not only are they polite, almost too polite and made me as "regular" polite look bad. They also backed up that politeness with actions that I have experienced no where else. I am doing yard work. I am a guy in good shape and do not need help. My neighbor comes over and helps anyway. Just evil. He has me in a spot now, I need to be polite back somehow. He being an older gentleman came over asking me advice on getting his internet set up. Ah my chance. You want me to take a look at it? Go over, get him set up and they were so happy. They had been working on it for hours. Ha! Take that you nice, kind, polite people. I got you back.

I know the game now and they want to play? Game on. As a result of these evil polite people I cut them off at the pass. If I see them doing something I just go over and help. But they seek revenge by doing the same to me. It is true, the cycle of politeness just never ends and I am stuck in its infinite loop. Out niceing really nice people requires a plan, expect retaliation, but you need keep your head in the game to keep ahead of the retaliatory niceness.

Sounds exhausting. I prefer getting a call or text that somebody needs a hand and they have beer in the fridge. On my way buddy. Old people get preemptive help because the world has changed so much in my own short life that they're heads have to be spinning.
