My bad, Cat. You are right, I assumed. I thought you meant you went to school at Cal and were talking about classmates, who are still MOSTLY 18-20-somethings.
btw, when I said Berkeley, I meant my alma mater, Cal. Not the town ... which I did not make clear.
I'm sorry you were treated that way. OK, I'll expand my comment to note there are jerks of all ages in all places. ;-)
I would agree that there's a NoCal attitude about SoCal people (not justified).
I myself am a hybrid, raised North and South.
However, while going to Cal, my Berkeley study group had a joint camping tradition with profs and grad students from USC, UCLA, and elsewhere in the Southland. We would go to Yosemite for a weekend and have a blast. So the two spheres can meet in harmony. [

Hilo and Kona people can act with the same kind of silliness occasionally.
