[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Travel people. I’m a millennial and I don’t know how common this is with other age groups but the wanderlust/I have to be planning a trip or on one people are so annoying. Nothing against vacationing or traveling to interesting places but that, in itself, is not a personality. [/quote]

Good one. This feels worse in the DMV, too -- people are competitive about travel in a way that just makes no sense to me. That recent thread about private school parents bragging about their holiday travel plans was so cringey and so recognizable.

[b]A related DMV personality is the "international" person[/b], where their whole personality is about how many non-Americans they know, how much time they spend abroad, etc. It's such a peculiar vibe. I am NOT a super patriotic person but it is weird when I meet people from like Ohio or Illinois who desperately need me to know that they lived Germany for work for a year or that their friends are all foreigners like that's somehow more impressive than having worked in Seattle and having friends from Chicago. Just... who cares.[/quote]

And they're always "international," not French or German or whatever.

Side note: I'd like to add the "I'm French and want everyone to know it" people to the list.  Their great-great-great-etc grandparent came from France, but they insist on giving their kids French names, "having children know their culture," etc.  I'm told there are lots of people who do the same thing but who have similarly distant Irish ancestry.[/quote]

Can we add Canadians who think they're better than Americans?[/quote]
