We are a fun bunch here in DC but that’s not to say we don’t have our quirks because we definitely do. Whether it’s not being phased by protests and motorcades or waiting in line for two hours for a dinner, we do some odd things here. Here are the 9 crazy things Washingtonians do.
Whether it’s for cupcakes, the hottest restaurant or the latest exhibit, people in DC have no problem waiting in line and we do it often.

It might be because we walk so much or because DC’s weather is so unpredictable but Washingtonians keep umbrellas everywhere.

You would say you have a meeting on the hill, not at the Capitol. The Mall is the National Mall but if you’re going to Pentagon City, you probably are going to the mall. The entire area is the DMV. You work for the DOD, not the Department of Defense.
So we might be a little odd here in DC but we’ll always love it, even if we move away.
