    Yeah, that's more or less the experience in South Carolina, too. The exception here is when a person you're already friends with says it. The tone in that case just means that they're genuinely sympathetic with your situation.

    I've actually experienced more of the nice "Bless your heart"s than than the mean ones, though this could be an effect of the company I keep.
