I also definitely "LOL'd" when Perez rejected Ailea's hug, while I am not a fan of either I think Perez is the lesser of the two evils.

"Oh, I'm from chicago"
"Really? What part?"
"Actually, I'm in the suburbs."
Grrr. Then they tell me it's "different" if I were to claim I'm from NYC (I'm in the burbs). This is one of those things that just sets off my irrational anger. Now whenever someone tells me they're from a city, I always ask what part.

Yes... yes.. and more yes! Elgin, Evanston, Dalton, Country Club Hills, River Forest, Melrose Park, Oak Park, Leyden etc. etc. ARE NOT CHICAGO!
I sometimes can give people a little leeway when they are actually from Cook county but anything in DUPAGE, KANE, KENDALL, or MCCOOK is NOT CHICAGO!!
Over and out!

Random person: Where are you from?
me: Cypress, Texas
RP: >blank look< Where? Did you like, ride a horse to school?
me: It's outside of Fairfield.
RP: >Blinks at me<
me: JUST HOUSTON, OK, I'M FROM NORTH OF HOUSTON.
When you have to have that conversation 20+ times a night, you'll start just responding, "Houston" when someone asks.

1. No one knows where my actual suburb is unless they are also from the area.
B. People in other parts of the country/world do not understand that Washington is a state as well as the capitol city, so saying "Western Washington" is also useless.
And additionally, most people who live in suburbs work and go out in the city, so they probably aren't really lying when they say they're from there.
I've had a lot of "where are you from" conversations over the years, and let me tell ya, saying "Seattle" is definitely the easiest answer.
