in the mall today,when I bent over to pick up money I dropped,that it is "Not proper for a lady to bend over" and I was like "Okay,I'm not no girlie girl tea drinking southern lady,so why should I care?" is this really true?I wasn't wearing a skirt,but I did notice a couple of guys watching me...

the proper way is the bend and the knee (keeping them together of course) and to pick up from the side.
However you can pick up things how you wish, just know that people will stare at your bum.

Um, it isn't about being, as you so delicately put it "no girlie girl tea drinking southern lady" - but it is about how you expect to be treated. If you act crass and without manner or dignity, people tend to assume that you're ignorant and/or uneducated (before you deny it, think about people you've encountered who are rude or oblivious to societal expectations). Self respecting women tend to not just bend at the waist and stick their bum in their air. Whether they drink tea or not.

Your mom IS right. even if you are not a "southern girlie girl with tea", you could slightly sit and pick up money. It's not about what are you wearing, it's not even about what people could think about you. The important point is what you think about yourself.
...ok. Even if that happened [guys watched you picking up a quarter], just keep our head up, ignore everyone around, and act like nothing happened.

What did your mama want you to do, walk away and leave money laying there for someone else to pick up? You did the right thing and don't worry about how anyone was looking at you.

I've never heard that but it makes sense...maybe squat instead?
