[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I recently moved from PG County to a modest house in a neighborhood in Potomac, and while I certainly wouldn't say that people become jealous when I say where I live, they do seem to be taken aback. Some also make jokes along the lines of, "ooh you fancy!"
I find myself almost feeling apologetic when I say where I live now. Like: Potomac, but not the super rich mcmansion part. A couple times I tried just saying I live in Montgomery County, but then people want to know where in Montgomery County and then it becomes a weird thing.
It's almost like how I imagine people who went to Harvard or Yale feel when answering questions about where they went to school (yes, I realize all the differences in that analogy, but the weirdly apologetic feeling seems similar).[/quote]

OP here - this is also similar to my experience. I try to avoid mentioning where I live. I like to talk about everything in the area that everyone can enjoy but the questions are constant - oh you live in VA? Where? NOVA? But where? Mclean? Oh which...

Then it becomes almost a yard stick to measure against when I didn't even want to bring it up in the first place.

Still this thread has been helpful - thanks to all.[/quote]
