Do you Virginians realy talk like this?

Powhatan and Chester (not Chesterfield) people are the worse. Richmond isn't that bad.

Also most people in the business world with a southern accent down here seem to be females. Im guessing a female with a southern accent can come across as cute in a male dominated industry. A guy just comes across as redneck.

Something that drives me nuts is when someone says "do what now" as opposed to "sorry I missed that" or "excuse me" or "what did you say" or another normal reply when they didn't hear exactly what you said.

Me: "what are you doing for lunch?"

Response in southern accent: "do what now?"

Sometimes ill just stare at them and think about how I want to hit them. Drives f'n me nuts.
