Are people in the DC area just a different kind of rude?

No, I had just forgotten how confident, normal, friendly people talk to one another, as opposed to here where they are trying to one-up and name drop the whole time.

I don’t know anyone who does this and I have lived here since the 1990s.

Agree. Who is the PP hanging out with? I don’t even know what most of my neighbors do and I’ve lived in Potomac for 12 years.

Yes. Elitist, entitled, classist and very arrogant.

It’s mine boggling how many people focus when raising kids is how much they’ll make as adults versus raising actual good humans.

It’s disheartening.

Pro tip - many people will smile back if you smile first.

+1 I smile at other people, they smile back.

That only works for me about half the time here. I'm just used to it now.

Potomac? That is becoming crime ridden. I live in Chevy Chase.

Help gentrify a neighborhood where you have no historical ties, make it more expensive for the people who’ve lived there forever decades, and then think you’ll be welcomed just because your white presence brightens things up?

Do you understand how arrogant that is?

That sadly describes what transplants have done to dc formerly known as chocolate city.

DC is one of the rudest cities in America.

It's the only place I have ever lived where every single SAHM has to tell you what her job was before she had kids. We call them the "used to be's". Everyone always has to tell you that she used to be a lawyer within five or ten minutes of meeting her. Who cares? You're not a lawyer now, are you?

Yes, she is a lawyer who is not currently practicing law. You don't stop being a lawyer.
