I guess I can be as intolerant as anyone else.

In my area (Central to Northern Virginia and DC included), it seems like everyone here is formerly poor. No problem with that at all. It just seems that everyone is in some sort of material competition here.

"I" "I" "I" have alot of land. "I" "I" "I" have a nice blackberry. "I" "I" "I" have a huge boat, a great job, and lots of vacation time.

These folks have all of this fancy stuff but lack manners e.g. simple covering your mouth when you cough, saying excuse me when you bump into someone with your bag etc.

I think it's great that everyone is progressing but I am so sick of hearing about the material garbage all the time.

I come from a pretty low class background myself and I don't feel the need to rave all the time!

ok I got that off my chest...

What gives?
