People from the northeast like Philly, NYC, etc just want expediency and if you're not they see you as rude for wasting their time.

This is the key. People from the Northeast tend to be very time-sensitive, while people from the South tend to be more lackadaisical. So which one bothers you more likely depends on your own preferences. Southerners can see Northerners as rude because they come across as impatient and abrupt, while Northerners can see Southerners as rude because they're half-assing everything and wasting time.

The other thing that doesn't tend to help is that Northerners tend to value honestly and bluntness when it comes to social interaction, while Southerners will try to be excessively polite to your face even while they're stabbing you in the back, so Southerners can see Northerners as rude while Northerners can see Southerners as being two-faced.
