Is there a connection to that theory about the necessity of being polite in close quarters - I forget the name for it. Something about Northerners needing to be able to get along for an entire winter without strangling each other, all cooped up in the same place. Perhaps Northerners have evolved a way to ignore assholes who bump them in the hallway?
