In Washington, it’s simple enough to observe that there are two types of people roaming the city streets: type A and type B. While type B’s should be respected in their own right for their cavalier swagger and happy-go-lucky attitude about red line delays, I think I speak for all type A’s when I say that we are an unstoppable and ambitious tribe.

Sure, we might be the ones setting reminders to our reminders on iCal, but make no mistake, type A’s have a method to the madness and they slay to-do lists like professional athletes.

Scroll-on for 10 photos only type A’s living in D.C. will truly appreciate! If you’re a type B like Joe Biden, you will probably have no idea what we’re talking about.

4. Similarly, un-scaffolded views of the National Monument are the chicken soup for your type A soul. No longer will be the days of embarrassing Fourth of July photos on the Mall.

7. Since “flawless” and “perfect” are words you live by, it’s nice to see when your favorite businesses share your outlook on life.

9. Sighting a perfectly parked line of Capital Bikeshare bikes is almost like seeing a unicorn. You make sure to capture the moment on Snapchat from different angles to show your friends just how lucky and type A you are.
