Why Dustin Nickerson Needs 'Midwest Nice' to Be Less Nice

Dustin Nickerson explained why he needs “Midwest nice” to be less nice. The funnyman has a hilarious and completely understandable reason for wanting Midwest residents to be a little less welcoming, pleasant and kind. Watch the short but hysterical clip to hear why Dustin requests that those living in the middle of the country get a tad meaner.

Generally, those who live in the Midwest are considered some of the nicest and kindest people in the country. Having lived in that part of the country my entire life, I can say, without a doubt, that it is 100 percent true. Midwest residents will go out of their way to make sure others are comfortable, even at the expense of their own convenience. The last thing a Midwesterner wants to be considered or thought of is rude.

Driving in the Midwest is a totally different experience from anywhere else in the country. Midwest nice is on full display whenever you’re behind the wheel. The frequency at which people will slow down and let you merge or switch lanes is startling in the Midwest. Even with your blinker on, signaling your intention to merge or switch lanes, drivers on the West and East coasts will completely and forever ignore you.

However, as Dustin mentions in a clip posted on YouTube, Midwest nice while driving does have its drawbacks. Because of those downsides, he would like for Midwesterners to get a little, well, less nice.

“I could use Midwest nice to be 20 percent less nice,” he said. “And that’s because I’ve driven here, and society comes to a collapse when we all reach a four-way stop. I just need someone to make a decision.”

He says that instead of going, the drivers will keep waving at each other, telling each other it’s their turn to go.

As he adds, this mix of Midwest nice and indecisiveness is on full display at Midwest roundabouts as well.
