I agree! Take it from someone who was born and raised on the East Coast, went to school in the Midwest and lived in the South. I've seen rude and polite behavior all over.
However, I will say that 'certain' manners are more expected in the South (I could be wrong this is just based on my experience). My husband whose family is very southern was taught to open doors for ladies, pull out chairs, give up his seat at a bus stop or a waiting room if a female is standing. When I was in college many of the gentlemen did not do this so I did not expect it. I had the mentality that I can open my own door. When I met my husband he was offended by this thinking and he told me that I should expect a man to open my door. I am usually not offended or upset when a man doesn't get the door for me, I guess this could be based on where I am from.
