[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I was in an Arlington bakery today and parked next to a car with a DC license plate.  I went inside and spotted the DC people immediately. Scruffy beard man with beanie, biking shorts, and Yale sweatshirt; aggressive woman with hair in messy topknot, long skirt, and ill fitting shirt; two scraggly looking kids with net skirts and tangled hair bumping into people and yelling.   Woman and man were separately arguing with teenage kids who did not get their orders right -- man wanted his two donuts in a box rather than a bag but didn't tell the kid until he handed them to him in a bag and said he "expected" a box; wife complaining that the bread did not smell fresh.  People just stepped away from them and let them melt down. In a bakery -- on a Sunday afternoon.  After trying to get a discount because the donuts were crushed, they got into their Prius and drove away.

They are definitely city folk.[/quote]

As someone from neither Arlington nor DC but familiar with both, I love that you differentiate so much between the two when Arlington is literally like a mile from DC proper. I have seen many men in biking shorts in Arlington and lots of people in general from Ivy League universities in both the inner "suburbs" and DC proper. To me, this just sounds like people who feel entitled, and I am pretty sure there are A LOT of those people in Arlington. LOL.[/quote]
