[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it is a DC thing. Weird people here. I have not lived anywhere else where neighbors are so strained to say hello.[/quote]

+1. My experience, as well. I chalked it up to (1) the DMV has a high percentage of professionally-striving but socially-stunted people; and (2) the DMV is an area where you cannot turn around without bumping into five people, standing in a line, or waiting in traffic no matter where you go. My theory is that the people here put up additional fences/personal space around themselves as a way of blocking out all the continual people "noise" -- and maybe they don't even realize they're doing it. It is impossible to get away from people around here, no matter where you go. Not saying "hi" might be a way of saying "I can't deal with dealing with more people" without saying it.  [/quote]

Yea no. NOVA is no Paris, Lagos or Tokyo. Americans have tons of space. In their stores, transportation, streets, markets. Plus half those people work from home. They are just totally self-absorbed and rude.[/quote]

Good analyses![/quote]
