Here in St. Louis, everybody always asks you where you went to high school. Why? People use it as a quick gauge to try to find out how you grew up. Rich kids went to fancy schools, poor kids went to substandard schools, etc.
But with this question comes a whole lot of assumptions. People will assume certain things about you just because of where you went to high school and many of those things are unfair or even mean — but some of them are hilarious.
Here's what people think about you when you tell them where you went to school in St. Louis.
