Typical stereotyping.

Um...not really. This is not speculation, it is firsthand knowledge; I've lived and worked in both spheres. My remarks are based off of real interactions with real people.

No, country work isn't easy. There's just generally less shoving and cursing.

As for the "pace" clash, it works both ways. It is something, say, rural Appalachians in particular get mocked for by impatient Northerners---particularly urbanized ones, who continually (in some cases wilfully) mistake that culture's comparative mellowness for stupidity or laziness.

The urbanites may not be in the "wrong," as you say. But of the two cultural backgrounds, I'll give you three guesses which one I hear routinely bad-mouth the other more frequently.
