There was another one within the last 3-4 months too.

This person starts the topic and then repeatedly argues with people with such self righteous indignation.

I think there’s some undiagnosed mental illness or something.  No one normal can possibly care about this.

It’s such a bizarre thing to get hung up on.  It’s like the transplants who get bent out of shape and report to Overheard in DC, if someone who grew up on the MD side of Takoma or Chevy Chase tell people in Europe they’re from DC when asked.  This is only a thing for people who moved from middle of f’ing nowhere Nebraska or something to the “big city” and think they have to create an air of exclusivity.

When people ask the question they’re wondering about geography only.  They don’t care about your life story, they don’t care about your podunk town.  They’re wondering what closest landmark you’re from.  For example, if I had the misfortune of being from South Dakota, I’d simply say I’m from near Mt Rushmore.  No one has any earthly idea where Rapid City is and they don’t care to look it up.  I grew up within 2 miles of DC.  I say DC because no one gives a shit and DC gets a giant unmistakeable star on every map made in the last 200 years.[/quote]
