No,
Just that you're... you wouldnt have ended up doing her laundry. ;-)
And, even if I did mean that (and I didn't), it was in a positive sense.
I was just saying I wish I could react to my South American friends that way. But I don't. I end up in drunken debates, hugs, etc.
It's good most time. I like I can't go through a checkout anywhere in Canada and not learn the cashier's life story. But, sometimes, it'd be nice to be that reserved, bitchy, thing.

As for vertical being more... I think you're wrong. I think, if we all went out for a beer, one from each state, I sure as hell wouldn't be with the TO crowd. I'd be with the Maritimes, and New England. And we'd be having a time. And you'd be with NYC or whoever. If this happened, you and I would be introduced via Boston/New York getting together and doing it - NOT by meeting each other face value. And the west would be with each other.
I've seen it actually happen too often to believe it's not the natural reaction.
