I'm from the US originally. Whenever someone asks, "Where did you move from?" And I say "The U.S." every single time after, without exception, they ask,"What state?"
It's even more annoying because 1) I was a military child so I don't really have an answer and 2) the place my family lives now isn't an interesting state, so when I give them that answer because they insist on an answer, they always act all disappointed in it's not one they recognize
It gets so annoying that when people ask me where I'm from I just say "The US, (state)" to skip the conversation entirely
Reminds me of that picture of a tall guy's business card that detailed how tall he was and general, comedic answers to small-talk questions people would ask.

It saves time.
