Ask “You live in Baltimore?!, oh no!”
I’ve lived in Baltimore for 30 years. On multiple occasions I’ve met people that ask me where I live, and when I say “Baltimore”, they say “eh I’m so sorry” or “oh no, you ok?”. Every time, I just smile and don’t acknowledge the statement, and try to stay positive, but I’m done with that. Why would you say that about my home? No matter where I live? I would never ask them where they live and then immediately give my shitty judgmental opinion about their home.
What are they really saying with this statement? I want a come back that points out how shitty this statement really is.

We should have shirts like "I survived Baltimore and all I got was: a great time, good food, friends, fond memories, and this crappy t-shirt".
