DC locals show their disdain for Tourists with Peeps

Notice how the ones on the left are angry at the tourist (with the map – a tourist essential) who is standing on the escalator instead of walking.

Get outta my way Tourist!

Stuff Washingtonians Like – Pictures with Political Figures

I actually had a coworker tell me that she and her husband went to the Vice President’s Christmas Party. Whoa, that’s a big deal, right? Then she tells me that she went solely for the purpose of getting a picture with him. I thought this was odd… if I were invited to a party with the VP, wouldn’t I want to chit chat and mingle? See and be seen? She explained that the “party” basically consisted of a long line that you join to wait your turn to take a picture with the VP – who is there for about 1 hour. It’s like sitting on Santa’s lap at the mall, but for adults. That does not sound like a fun party to me – not for Dick nor for the guests. Maybe I don’t fit in here afterall. (Shocking)
