We got some of those around here. But, they can be your best friends too...Swamp people.
About 20 years ago I had an appointment up there. I knew the area because in a previous life I had build a couple houses up there. So the lady pens the dogs up so that I can get out of the car and come in. I shake her hand on the way in. The husband is sitting in his easy chair with his right hand between his leg and the chair arm. He shakes hands with his left hand. One of the kids takes the shot gun from behind the door to another room. After a while he warms up as we share old military stories. We do the app after I pry his SSN out of him. I stand up to leave and extend my hand and he extends his right hand. I start laughing and say how happy I was that his hand was empty. He says it wasn't when I walked in. I tap my coat pocket and tell him mine either. Now, I see Stars and Bars flying or Pit Bulls, I keep on driving.
Had another time in a ghetto area where there were about 10 teens around my car as I am walking up to it after my meeting. I nod and say sup guys? They say F' U. I think "Oh Sh!t!" Just then the old lady comes out of the apartment with a bat and starts yelling at them by name. They slowly walked away. She tells me to call before delivering the policy. I mailed it.
I am older and wiser now. I see a place that just looks wrong, I bail.

I like Swamp People. Notice that they all have new boats and motors now.
