People who live in Vancouver are a unique type of Canadian, and locals on Reddit are making it known exactly how to tell if someone is from the West Coast city — and it's not all flattering.

Locals are basically roasting each other in this Vancouver Reddit thread. Of course, there were also some digs at rivals like Toronto and Calgary.

Clearly, it's hitting close to home for some users, and one even said they're feeling "personally attacked."

It all started when one user posted the challenge for people to finish the sentence: "You know you're from Vancouver when..."

There were so many hilarious responses that will make any Vancouverite laugh... and maybe cry.
