You know youre a WASP when:





You actually belong to the club of your club tie.
Mayonnaise is still featured in your diet.
You think J.Crew is just awful.
You actually eat white bread.
When in grade school, you wonder why you are learning about Ellis Island. (None of your ancestors came through there, so why is it so important.)
You rather drive your parents old car as your first car, or buy a used one. (Acceptable makes are Volvo, BMW, Peugeot, Subaru, Saab, and Land Rover).
In grade school you laughed when some one showed you The Official Preppy Handbook.
You live in New England.
When taking a train into the city, you come through Grand Central, never Penn Station.
There is still a Lord & Taylor in your local area.
You didn't realize that there were other backpacks other than L.L.Bean
You don't understand why Brooks Brothers has Extra Slim Fitting shirts.
Your ancestors fought in the Revolutionary War
You don't understand why people who don't hunt wear Barbour.
You studied in Europe whilst at university.
When you do go to church, it is an old stereotypical wooden New England church.
Cheap gin is just as good.
You have worn Bean boots since you were in grade school.
You go to wassail parties during the holidays.
On weekends, your school dining hall only served brunch and dinner.
The only dogs you will ever have will be Labradors.
When meeting someone for the first time, you ask where their from, what school they went to, their major and where they live now.
The only acceptable places to summer are: Maine, The Cape, Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard, Newport and anything on the coast west of New Haven. (The Hamptons have become too "new money" for your taste).
Your boat shoes always stink and are worn till there are holes in the soles.
You live in Connecticut.
