"...in this country" or "This is America, (insert horrible thing that people do or that happens everywhere on earth)" are also  pretty bad.

I've had two hippy-types use "I like music" or "we make music" to somehow justify them being totally smug pricks.  Oh! You like music?  I didn't realize!  Then by all means hope a padlocked fence into a storage area full of other people's stuff to build a "fort" then come into my office to make a completely passive aggressive "apology" at the urging of your friends who I yelled at on your behalf while strumming a ukulele.  I would normally consider this very obnoxious, but since you like music, well, that changes everything!  Imagine, an honest-to-God liker of music!  This puts you in the same exclusive club as Kermit the Frog and Hitler.  Congratulations!

This is America.  They can strum a ukulele while being scolded if they want to.

And yet I would be arrested for striking them. 

This country is rotten to its very core.

While that could happen, you might not actually get arrested. It might be worth giving it a try.

any time someone uses "where i come from" or "in my town" in reference to something they don't like, don't understand or plain old can't except about the way things are done here in philadelphia. i've gotten this in the past a lot - especially from extended fam on the wife's side - who are mostly country dwelling folk. it's funny they even bring it up because i thought i decided not to send that open invitation for them all to move down here and join in on our way of life.

like the their cousin, the infamous "i could never live in the city," these comments are usually entirely unsolicited and only used as an attempt to aggressively drive home the point that they're comfortable with their lives the way they are (most people are.) i get it.

[Sarah]

I could never live in a city again, Andrew.  Are you going to murder me now (pace Julie)?

[andrew in philadelphia]

not unless you're sitting around the table at one of my family meals and bring it up as a way of drawing unwanted attention to me.
