What is your DMV specific “sin” that would get you a scarlet letter?

But you live in a whole different state, not a different city. I don’t get what’s so hard about saying - I’m from Maryland. Or - I’m from Virginia.

This is so flipping stupid. Do you think Maryland or Virginia actually means anything to someone in Brussels or Ouagadougou or Saigon?

No, but Washington DC does. I’m a native and this is a stupid *ss hill to die on.

Exactly! When I say Maryland, people look at me blankly. But if I say DC or suburb of DC, people understand better.

I hit 100 mph driving about 3 times a week.

I have no idea what a half-smoke means.

- My family and I hate beach vacations and cruises.
- I don't send my kids to sleep away camps.
- We will never buy a vacation home. Having real-estate that I don't live in is hard to manage and I don't care about it.
- I love our DMV inexpensive (relatively) town.
- I love my neighborhood and my neighbors. They are my family.
- I don't envy anyone who works in big law.
- I am a-ok with my extreme right and extreme left relatives. I don't sweat it.
- I like to host. I like to raise the bar in my hosting so that others don't even dare to suggest that they will host. I would rather do it my way and have everyone at my house. I would rather that people don't reciprocate.
- I don't do potlucks.
- I am SAHM in a DCUM middle class household. I feel super rich in 300K HHI. I will never go back to work. I don't care what everyone thinks about it. No guilt in "taking someone else's space" for my multiple college degrees.
- I have a curated part-time domestic staff for my convenience. I feel great spending money for service.
- I am never a part of meal trains. I will cook for people happily but I cannot be part of a roster system. Sorry.

These seem more like $$$ exburb sins

Agreed. Yawn.

It would be a sin to sneer at calling it the DMV.

You must be a transplant.

4th generation from DC and I don’t call it the DMV and get annoyed at those who do.

+1000

No greater sign of someone being a transplant than calling the region "DMV."

How do you explain all of the people who aren’t transplants that have used it for decades?

I'm the person quoted. I'm just having an internet conversation; this is not a "hill to die on" for me. So let's say you live in Idhao. If you're visiting Brussels and someone asks you where you live, what do you say?

I dont eat chicken but everyone I know loves Chick-fil-A. Is this really a "sin"?

No it’s more of an expectation. Who doesn’t love Chik fil a?

Depends on who is counting? The dirt you have on others is what keeps you clean.

Ok, I’ll play. I don’t always RSVP and I have no shame, even though it’s gauche.

I went to Harvard and I don’t understand the parent anxiety over getting into AAP or travel sports.
