Also, the Californians have this nasty habbit of calling the place my entire family lives a "fly over state". Excuse me?! You know you always have layovers in O'Hare.
Also, there is a bit of snobbishness about some people from California, like they are better than you for being born in San Deigo, and can say that 50 degrees is "cold".

Just wanted to make sure you know that not ALL Californians are like this (I was born and raised in SoCal, but I enjoy other areas of the country a lot....why else would I go somewhere for the snow in the winter for school?
)
Re: "Out East", I think that happens with the "older" native Californians (my step-dad, for one). Both of my parents were born and raised in the midwest, so I have a healthy respect, and large amount of knowledge, about the benefits of being a midwesterner and lifestyle of those living in the midwest (regarding manners, morals, and beliefs about life)
I never call any state a fly over state, because I've actually driven through quite a few of those states, and they have beauty that isn't really seen here in CA.
And I don't think I'm better than anyone for being born in San Diego county....just lucky!
