DC Worker's Guide for Tourists

Dear DC Tourists,

Yes, the Cherry Blossoms have bloomed and the weather is warm, but there's a few rules we DC Workers would like to share with you:

1) WALK Left, STAND Right. If you learn nothing else during your stay, learn this rule. It is non-negotiable, and applies to any and all escalators you find in DC, MD, and VA.
2) Another Metro rule: When you get off the Metro, don't just stop and stare, start MOVING TOWARDS THE EXITS. Stopping and staring, or looking at your crappy Metro map upside down does not allow us commuters to reach the exits.
3) Don't stand in the middle of the street and take a picture.
4) If you're taking a picture, don't get all huffy if a group of commuters TRYING TO GET HOME end up in your shot.
5) Please, please, please....NEVER, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, wear knee-high socks and long shorts. This is not the 80s.
6) Don't take one look at me with my suit and my iPod earbuds in my ears and realize that I might be able to provide great directions. I have my earbuds in for a reason--TO DROWN YOU OUT.
7) Please place any and all children under the age of 3 on a leash or keep them off the streets and out of my way.

Thank you for your kind assistance in keeping us DC Workers sane and able to help run the country you love.

Sincerely,
A Tourist Hater

We don't have much of a tourist problem here in St. Mary's, but getting directions based on places that used to be here can be a problem if you haven't been here long.
(Turn right where the Halfway House used to be...)

:clap: :clap: I remember back when, when they had decided to make all buildings nonsmoking etc... a tourist trolly bus strolled by pointing me out on his loud speaker to the passengers at me smoking in front of the building and reitterating to the tourists about DCs then proposed no smoking policies... :frown: Overall I don't mind the tourists if they stay off the roads or decide to sight see between the hours of 10 and 4 and please don't take pictures of everything you see... makes a commuter feel like they are working at Disney World or something, almost makes us feel like a speciman or something... :ohwell:

You know there are no tourists here. Only people who mistakenly get off at the wrong Metro stop! :lol:

Thanks I think :ohwell: :lol: There's Something About Mary is one of my favorite movies... :roflmao:.... I was thinking about this movie the other day... one of the lady's at work who has blond hair had her hair pulled back in one of those hair things that look like a horseshoe - forget what they are called. Anyways she had a large tuft of hair that stood up about 3 or 4 inches right behind this hair thing..... me and a coworker just looked at her and started trying hard not to bust out laughing... :roflmao:
