You're definitely not in that category!
And thanks for remembering the name of the place.
We just found ourselves running into many inconsiderate types. And at first, I thought it was tourists but the encounters were on the Metro with commuters. I also witnessed a total nutjob going off at a McDonalds, in Falls Church. Witnessed the entire thing and it was just surreal. (I joked with the employee, apologizing that maybe she was from NY.)
disclaimer: I've both
commuted and
worked for the LIRR. I have seen my fair share of asshats. But there was a higher than average amount here. However I do realize this is a small sampling.
That said, many Americans return from Paris saying how rude Parisiens are and I totally disagree.
In any event I would return to both Paris and DC.
