[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The whole no eye contact or acknowledgement when passing by people on the sidewalk drives me crazy.[/quote]

This is not my experience at all in DC, but then most of my neighbors are longtime residents who have been here at least a couple generations. We acknowledge each other and say hi, even if we don't know each other. It's one of my favorite things about DC.

But the transplants, not so much.[/quote]Me neither.  I am a transplant but I got trained fast when I moved to a neighborhood full of the folks this pp describes.  All kinds of people say "hi" on the street. I LOVE my neighborhood but we don't have the power-hungry, strivers that people complain about on DCUM.

And that's the thing.  People complain about the strivers but unless you're stuck in a job where you have to keep maneuvering all the time (or married to someone who is, e.g., Chasten Buttigieg), you really don't have to hang out with those people.  There are lots of down to earth types who are happy to greet you when you see each other in the street.[/quote]
