The People of the East (Mean in DC)

Maybe its just me, I am Midwestern, the people of the east seem rude and uncaring.

I notice this because in the Midwest people called me rude and uncaring. I dare say I have met my match in the people of DC. Its almost as if karma has placed me on the path of these people. Because no matter if it a bus driver, stranger, or doctor I keep running into all these people who’s main goal in life is to insult or ridicule others as often and as ruthlessly as possible

Questions are met with sarcasm; they are ignored, or otherwise are deemed unimportant. Offered help is shunned rejected and insulted. The people seem wrapped in a bubble of their own irritability and any intrusion in the form of politeness is met as a threat.

To be fair to my new city men not everyone in DC is vindictively rude. However, bad impression are lasting ones. And not all acts of cruelty were aimed at myself. I watch the people of DC treat each other with such casual aggressiveness that once could think it a greeting.
