yeah, at least all except the last quote are from my former job, and there are places in MI that are more um, affluent? kinder? gentler? than others. I'm sure I'd manange to find annoying coworkers wherever I went! And you're right - there's that breed of Northern redneck that's not like the stereotypical Southern redneck - I mean, MI is the home of "the Nuge" after all (not saying I'm necessarily proud of that). :)
