A few were dissapointed that we didn't speak with outrageous accents.

I intentionally affect an accent when traveling to northern or western parts of the country just to see whether people are surprised or not. I also complain about the lack of "su'weet ahs tea" anywhere above the Mason-Dixon line, 'cept I'm serious about that.

Personally, I think it's interesting to see what outlandish conceptions people have of other regions. Sometimes these places become a kind of fantasy world for them, instead of something to tack ugly stereotypes to.
