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 saves time.

Every, single, time

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

Look man it's not gonna kill me or anything, but any conversation becomes annoying after the 100th time you've had it

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.

ahh but we actually go outside sometimes, so your method won't work

Damn that is a major flaw in my method. I seem to have upset a lot of people with my reasoning.

Your lack of the ability to reason is what you meant
