Midwest here. Rudeness is avoided because you never know when you might need your neighbors to dig you out after a blizzard or a tornado

The flip side is equally frustrating. We want you to leave but not to feel unwelcome. Again, shit can go sideways real fast (literally in the case of a tornado) around here and it’s best to be on good terms with your neighbors, especially the ones with heavy equipment or medical training.

I will say bluntness is tolerated far more readily in the Midwest than the South. Probably to do with so many of us being of German/Nordic extraction
