Washington DC is a melting pot of individuals. So many people from across the country and around the glove flock to the Nation’s Capital to call it home. But while many of us aren’t from here and we’re all a little bit different, there are some things that Washingtonians all have in common. Here are 10 ways you can spot someone from Washington DC.

1. We go to happy hour in suits and work attire.

Happy hour is often an extension of the office and, yeah, we’ll probably a have a smartphone in one hand at all times.
2. We drive aggressively and unapologetically so.

We’re used to traffic so when we spot a free space that could move us up 5 feet, we will cut across four lanes to get there.
3. We walk on the left side of the escalator and stand on the right.

Why is this so hard for tourists to understand? Stand on the right and walk on the left!
4. We can talk politics.

And somehow we always find a way to bring the conversation around to that. We can’t help it. We’re just so used to those conversations popping up.
5. We end up asking people what they do fairly quickly in the conversation.

It’s like DC-talk. You meet, you ask who you work for, you start taking politics Always at happy hour and often in a suit.
