You know you live in DC if...

 - you commit crime daily....by J-walking.

*Courtesy of Emily



- your status as a resident of the city makes you an instant tourist attraction.

- your neighbors are celebrities...on C-SPAN.

- you don't even hear the sirens anymore.













- the term 'skintern' gives you shivers.

- you enjoy spending time with your friends at the neighborhood pool.




 - you feel like a tourist if you don't have your shirt tucked in (and you have a distinct dislike of feeling like a tourist).

- you have painfully learned why Capitol Hill is called a hill.

- you haven't ridden in a car for weeks...and that is totally normal.

- you treat all escalators with the rule 'stand right, walk left.'

- you expect to go through a security checkpoint every time you enter a building.

- this is what going to the mall looks like...

- you blame everything on sequestration ("My fries don't have enough salt on them! Darn sequestration...")



...more to come as I think of them. If you think of any "you know you live in DC if's", let me know.
