Help dressing a character.

lol, given your username, why didn't I pick up on the location? I'll believe your scenario for Florida.

I actually started a post in this thread about regional variations in norms like this as a good reason to avoid too many details, but I deleted it. Maybe I shouldn't have.

Your premise is correct, but I disagree with your conclusion. Instead of deleting details, I specify the setting. Most of my stories are not dateline, Anytown, USA, but instead mention a specific location (usually Miami). That way, the nuances make sense and I can color the story with realistic details.
