The Official-ish DC Thread

Wifey has gotten past being weirded out “you are meeting guys at a bar who you met online talking clothes?”

Frankly she mostly just wants me out of the house.

Tell me you have no friends without telling me you have no friends.

Tell me you have no friends without telling me you have no friends.

That's why we're all fambly here.

Edit- the people I've texted the most outside of my gf are @beargonefishing @edinatlanta and @Omega Male. I don't even text my real friends as much as I text them.

Yeah I experienced this in my first jobs. All transplants, mostly insufferable. And this was true in normal office jobs, too, not just things related to politics and policy which by their nature draw people to DC.

For me, the tell is seeing Nationals gear. They didn’t exist until 2005 so locals were either Orioles fans or fans of some team they had a family connection to. Transplants have their cars and office spaces slathered with thr stuff lol.

I only moved back to DC because the nats came to town, otherwise I would have stayed in Boston or nyc. I gave up on the O’s when all the Baltimore people started whining about DC fans coming to the games. Somewhere around 1995. Made me realize that they’re very different cities.
