It’s not. But people in DC take their job title and make it their entire personality. That, and fact that whatever you your reply is you will be judged based on your “usefulness” or title by social/career climbers.

I’ve found that that’s a social bubble that can be easily popped.

I don’t know why people are downvoting you, because you’re right. The title obsession and focusing only on how others can help you get ahead is far more prevalent in “Washington,” the political town and its hangers-on, than it is in DC, the vibrant city of 700,000 people living here and working in all sorts of walks of life. It certainly exists in the rest of the city, just as it does anywhere else in the world, but it being a defining characteristic of people is far more common on the Hill than just about anywhere else. That people mostly see that suggests they’re spending most of their time with those people.
