[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it is a DC thing. Weird people here. I have not lived anywhere else where neighbors are so strained to say hello.[/quote] +1. My experience, as well. I chalked it up to (1) the DMV has a high percentage of professionally-striving but socially-stunted people; and (2) the DMV is an area where you cannot turn around without bumping into five people, standing in a line, or waiting in traffic no matter where you go. My theory is that the people here put up additional fences/personal space around themselves as a way of blocking out all the continual people "noise" -- and maybe they don't even realize they're doing it. It is impossible to get away from people around here, no matter where you go. Not saying "hi" might be a way of saying "I can't deal with dealing with more people" without saying it. [/quote]
