Just want to see your reaction.
I recently came to Hutchinson from San Jose CA. After being here for nearly six weeks I am culturally shocked (yes it seems to work the other way too).
And Minnesota nice is funny.
You added nicely to the people's MN nice criterium, (a sign of intellectual laziness - typical immature bandersonesque behavior - a cry for help (do you need a hug))

False humility - a lifetime

False humility - a lifetime of mental conditioning whereby the individual takes personal claims of humility to mean that he or she is somehow "special and better than others".

Minnesota nice

Minnesota nice is the stereotypical behavior of Minnesota residents described as hospitality and courtesy to others. The term is also sometimes used in a derogatory way, to connote a sort of smiling stubbornness, forced politeness, false humility or passive aggressive hostility.
