My god! He even used a thesaurus!
@michal Most comments I hear from Europeans visiting the USA is "My god, Americans won't shut up! And they'll talk to you about anything!"
IMO, this is because we're a car culture, with lots of open spaces. We have no worries about getting to know people "too fast", and having to live next door to them forever. One or both will move on before too long. Just my opinion, though.
Just never *trust* us. The "Yankee Trader" has a bad reputation. And we're still earning it. ;)
@michal Sounds like I'd fit in in Poland. ;)
I've had to fill out paperwork for clearances. And they ask for references of neighbors. That's really hard, since I try to NOT have neighbors, and when I do, I never know who they are. I keep to myself.
The part I'd like to get better at, is when they actually introduce themselves and I almost instantly forget their names. I should do better.
I used to be really good at that. But at some point I just stopped bothering.
