15 Ways You Can Always Spot Someone From San Francisco… No Matter Where They Are
People from San Francisco, both natives and transplants, certainly have their quirks. And it's pretty easy to spot someone from the city—just take a look at their outfit, how they eat, and what their favorite topics are. Here are a few specific ways you know you're dealing with a San Franciscan.
1. They'll be skillfully dressed in layers, always ready for any type of weather—unless the temperature dips below 50. Then it's time to freak out a little.
2. And those layers will likely include some type of Giants apparel or paraphernalia.
3. They'll be complaining about the cost of living.
4. And ask how much your rent or mortgage is.
5. They'll be wondering where they can get the finest single-origin drip coffee in town—and they'll do whatever it takes to get it ASAP.
6. They'll be requesting extra avocado.
7. They'll be especially concerned if that apple is organic, that beef is grass-fed, and that bread is gluten-free.
8. Then they'll splurge on a really fancy meal, or maybe just a big, sloppy burrito.
9. They'll be discussing the intricacies of microclimates like a meteorologist.
10. They'll happily stand in line for brunch, lunch, or anything really.
11. They'll find any excuse to wear a ridiculous costume.
12. They can wax poetic about food and wine for hours.
13. They'll have some sort of electronic device always within reach.
14. They'll be spoiling their dog—more than themselves.
15. They'll tell you where they're from before you can even guess—that’s how proud San Franciscans are.
