I enter the elevator with 2 British people and a man I do not know.
Brits: Any fun weekend plans?
Tara: Yes actually I am going to Ocean City Maryland for a Bachlorette Party.
Brits: Maryland? Where is Maryland?
Tara: 2 states down. I should get you guys a map. All you really need to know is the coasts, though. The whole middle part is pretty worthless.
(To the man I don't know)- you are not from the Midwest are you?
Stranger: I am not, but my life partner for the last 18 years is from the Midwest.
At this point I remove my shoe and place my foot directly in my mouth and exit the elevator.
