Today, after two weeks visiting my boyfriend's family in rural Mississippi, we finally returned to civilization. Unfortunately, I pick up on accents really easily, and now I sound like a hick. My boyfriend thinks it's cute, but I hate it. FML

As somebody that was born and raised in England, lived a few years in Italy and currently residing in Alabama… i will be the first to say that you are full of shit.

Nice way of tossing everyone with an accent under the bus

Let’s see, I grew up in Mississippi and now live in Alabama - Yet I have a university engineering degree… But seriously, I understand about picking up accents having lived all over the country. Almost everyone has an accent of their region - That doesn’t automatically make them an ignorant hick… If you picked up a Southern accent quickly, it will pass quickly when you are back home.

Such a lack of respect you have for your in-laws. Gross

just stop being so impressionable. it IS that easy

I was worried I was the only one that did this, so on the bright side you made an internet rando feel better about themselves!

“A bunch of hicks?” “I have all my teeth?” There’s a word for this…it’s on the tip of my tongue. Oh, yeah! Bigot!
