@appalachian.sam: In the Appalachian Mountains, there are some things folks say that can be really confusing. This is one of them. I love our accent, our dialect, and all the special ways we say everyday things, but even I have to admit this one doesn’t sound like what we actually mean. Instead of saying, “I don’t mind,” a lot of us say, “I don’t care to.” That might sound like we don’t want to do something, but it actually means the opposite. Have you ever heard someone say it this way? #appalachiandialect

I was on crutches & struggling with a door when I was in Moorehead, Kentucky & I had a young man knock me down getting out of the door I struggled to open!!! The gas station attendant apologized for him saying he was the son of a semi well off person for that area & he was extremely rude. I have little to no respect.
