Maybe you're in the wrong department. A lot of people have a good time.
Having lived in Athens and in Auburn, I have to say, Athens was less depressing.

Auburn is more my style. The people are much more southern, well mannered, the girls are prettier...there's just too much yankee/Atlanta presence in Athens. Plus Auburn is a lot more politically conservative, which I like.

I thought of this thread today at internship when every man I was around today (3 of them) all opened the door for me and let me walk through first...like, they went out of their way to make sure they opened the door for me. Not everyone may agree with it, but I love southern hospitality!

Rude people with no home training are everywhere.

This brings back memories of my 11th-grade U.S. history teacher, a no-nonsense type who had no reservations about calling out the unruly. If someone was talking while she was trying to lecture, she'd just point at them and say, "Poor home training." That, and "Precious, shut up."

"Precious, shut up" is an instant classic with me. I like the juxtaposition of the patronizingly affectionate with the mildly, and yet appropriately, stifling.
On the surface it doesn't meet the standards of good manners, but it was probably the perfect response to the constant chatterer who had no regard for good manners anyway.
Shinerbock, because I'm sure you eagerly await my insights about Athens, GA and don't want to deprive me of the opportunity to wax poetical about Sylvester Croom, I wanted to let you know that your private message mailbox is full.

Beautiful. I'd like to meet this woman someday and shake her hand.
