[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, there are some here who have not resided in a nicer place.  'Tis a shame, indeed.  You can tell who has immediately.  You seem like you have known nicer, so you have a point of comparison.  Life is short.  Explore your options! Those that do not, or are "Rah rah D.C."  why are you even on this post?  To be a typical, antagonistic, counter productive, bullyish, D.C. type?  Really? How's that serving you so far?  By the looks on your faces, not so good.

That said,  I know what you mention, OP. I have found in my too many years here that those who try to act important, and are stumbling over themselves being snifflier than thou, are really just extemely pissed off about how little they have accomplished and how far they have not come in their time here.  Consistently. Remember that.  Laugh at it.  It is funny.

As far as the PP who mentioned "shallow" and "weather" in the same sentence:  I want to know where you score your crack, because I could use some of that while living here with the likes of you.

I was at a party recently and I heard someone's MIL mention that people are "friendly" here.  The whole party responded in riotous laughter - literally!  That is part of the issue, OP.  As far as comparing this area to any other, you simply can not.  If not only for the high concentration of those who think that D.C. is the be all and end all.  Do you really want to know where they are coming from?  Probably not. Holy sh*t!  Let them think the rest of the nation and world sucks and that this must be heaven on earth (egads!).  Then we won't have to deal with them when we vacation or retire :)

Know that you are still young and that most people do not and would never retire here, given an option.  But that is another thread :)    You have options, OP.  Option one: laugh.  Laugh often.  There is so much around you that is amusing.  Example:  If you comment how rude someone is, they will counter you with how rude you must be, given that you did well, nothing.  You can't buy this stuff!

This hell is not forever.  It is overpriced, crowded, self important (read:amusing), stifling hot, incapable, blundering, extremely frustrated, tries to deflect and deny, can't drive and not so pretty, among many other things, but one thing it is not is forever.  [/quote]

I'm sorry you're so unhappy. :( Hope things get better for you soon. [/quote]
