Does it bug you when people say they are from 'Atlanta" when [View All]

they really live in the suburbs? I was recently on a plane @ someone said 'I'm from Atlanta' . . . naturally I replied, me too, where do you live & the reply was "Lawrenceville"

Maybe I'm nuts, but it just annoys me. I of course would never correct anyone, but still . . .

Whats wrong with saying, "I'm from Marietta" or "I live outside of Atlanta" I know so many suburbanites that go Months without coming into the city & know jack about anything inside 285.

Maybe I'm just crazy, or maybe its the latent suburbanite in me . . . Even though I could see the twin towers from my house (growing up)in Jersey I would have no more said I was from NYC than I would have claimed to be from Paris.

Am I crazy, or just an intown snob (or both)
