[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i'm a transplant. IME, people from D.C. generally seem to: have a high opinion of themselves, be very concerned with appearances, always be networking, place their career above all else in their lives. whereas transplants generally seem to: be insecure about their social position and/or about their educational or professional accomplishments, complain a lot about the cost of living here and about the people here, pretend not to care about climbing the ladder socially or professionally when they clearly do care about that very much, like to talk about how their hometowns are so much better than D.C.[/quote]

This is more a reflection of the company you keep than real Washingtonians, who in no shape or form resemble the characterization you post. If anything, PP, you're describing nothing more than earlier transplants in that first sentence.

Have you actually met anyone FROM DC, as in born-and-raised here?
