As far as the hick/redneck thing.....I live on what is called the North Coast around here.....go North and you fall into Lake Erie, keep swimming and you're in Canada. Can't get much more Yankee than that. And let me tell ya, we've got TONS of 'necks (as we call them) around here. They have the accent and all....there is a big difference between a nice Southern drawl and the kind of accent you hear on Jerry Springer all the time.
I have lived with pig neighbors and I must say, yeah some of the description was a bit rude but when you have dealt with people like this long enough all compassion and benefit of the doubt flies out the window. We lived in this ancient Victorian house for two years. The first year there were these two sisters living upstairs, one of whom was very large, and she sounded like she was going to come through the ceiling at any second. She wasn't the problem though, she was actually very nice. It was her skinny loudmouth sister who was the pain. To access their apartment upstairs they had to come across the front wrap-around porch, which was right outside our bedroom windows. The stairs ran up the side of our house, also on the wall of our room. This dumb bitch would have these parties, with people clomping up and down the stairs, and then at times they'd be standing around on the porch RIGHT OUTSIDE OUR ROOM talking and laughing and clomping around. One time I got sick of it and I called her during the party and asked her nicely if they could keep it down because we both had to work early in the morning. She was like "Yeah sure whatever" and nothing changed. Well I hated to be an old fogey at the age of 22, but I called the cops on her. After that I talked to her sister and asked her if she could maybe do something about it, but her sister was about as nice to her as she was to us and nothing changed. So I just called the cops every time she had a party, because there is a very strict noise ordinance in Kent and they really enforce it. Finally the stupid bitch sister moved out and life was good again.
