I could have a snake?

So whenever someone finds out that I got a job in California, they come up to congratulate me, which is very kind, of course. But then they ruin it by acting as though I'm a complete idiot. The conversations tend to go like this:

Person: Hey, congratulations on your new job!

Me: Thanks! I'm really excited about it.

Person: So, what's the job like? Tell me more.

Me: Well, I'm going to be the acting manager of a public library branch right near a high school.

Person: Cool. Does it pay any more than what you made in New Orleans?

Me: Yeah, a lot more....like actually literally twice as much.

Person: Well, you know, it's not really as much as you might think. The cost of living in the Bay Area is really high.

Okay, I FUCKING KNOW THAT. Does every human ever born think I'm a royal idiot? EVERYONE knows that it's expensive to live there, for one thing, and plus why wouldn't I research that before accepting the job? Plus...and this is the best...I'm only going to pay $500 in rent, and no utilities. Fuck you, condescenders!

And then, as if that's not enough, they always say, "Better pack some shorts! It's really hot in California."

Yeah. Have they ever been to Northern California? Apparently not. It's bloody freezing half the time, and gorgeous the rest. I'm not moving to Death Valley, retards.
