[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Harvard grad here. I only tell people I went to school in New England. Honestly, it's because I don't want to put myself out there for casual haters to try to knock me down a peg out of some churning jealousy. [b]I realize that most people around this town don't care--but the ones that do are pretty mean and crazy.[/b][/quote]

This is just it.  The people who don't care are fine (and many).  Maybe they also went to an Ivy League school, maybe they are from a place where it's weird to go out of state or out of the Big 10, maybe they went to a tech school or a liberal arts college, or maybe they are just not the kind of person to think that other people's choices reflect on them at all (which is the truth but a rare attitude around here).  But the people who do care act totally weird and annoying and latch onto that one piece of data like a pit bull and it colors all your interactions with them down the line.  When that happens with a random person at a cocktail party it's just an annoyance you can laugh about later; when it happens with the person in the office down the hall it becomes an annoyance you have to deal with every day and it's really aggravating.  Well worth just stating a region and moving the conversation along.[/quote]
