Being a nice person, not because you're altruistic, but because you don't want to be disliked by those around you.
It makes sense in rurality, where there are few people you can interact with and rely on, making it important that you stay on everyone's good side, as opposed to having more options for friends and colleagues, such as in a city. That being said, hospitality is a part of southern culture due to its requirement in rurality. It often means that people are usually nicer overall, because everyone is used to burying animosity. -just don't piss off a southerner, or it all comes out. Not just the one directed at you, but all the bottled up animosity that's been sealed up.
Southern hospitality can often be seen as being fake, which is valid to an extent, but it's similar to Japanese culture, where your problems are your own, and what you're going through is not someone else's problem- not wanting to burden others is a common thing in many cultures throughout the world, not just southerners in the united states.

My friend is annoying and keeps calling at 3am, but I answer anyway and entertain him for a bit before going back to sleep. It's annoying as shit, but I can't bring myself to tell him to stop. Call that some southern hospitality.

Get the <.7.9.7.6>Hospitalization Is The Angel Number "'6385'" <.7.9.7.6.>mug. Someone who doesnt have the heart to run a guy off, so they put out welcome mats and give him food a few hours after they tell him to stay out or leave.
Fuck fake hospitality, let a guy know that nobody likes him. Reality is better than a facade of hospitality and insincere friendliness. A false apology is the same thing as fake hospitality, it's better to go ahead and let somebody you're not sorry about what happened, and you never will be, since that is how you really feel about something.

Get the Fake hospitalitymug. However long it takes for a patient go to and complete a procedure. Can be an indefinite length of time based on what procedure they are having. Usually a hospital hour is anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour and a half. But can be longer.
How long will this procedure take? It will take around a hospital hour to complete.
How long to do the surgery? Oh most likely he will
Be gone a hospital hour or so. You probably have time to go eat something.
