In Topic: What's unexpectedly typical for your country?

It's just a stereotype O_o jeez

 

 

Honestly, that would be a little weird for someone to just start chatting with me randomly on the street.  My friend's neighbor does it to me everytime I go over to her apartment complex, and it just weirds me out.  I know they're being nice and talkative, but I want to go to my friends - not talk to this person I don't know! (Man, I sound like a bitch XD)  It's just strange to me.

Its not like a whole conversation, its something like this:

Hey, how's it going?

 

Good, you?

 

Good.

 

That's it. Usually. Here its like kindness is some foreign.. thing. I'm not trying to have a whole conversation, just be polite. Haha.


In Topic: How Tall Are You Guys?

5' or 60 inches or 152 cm.

 

I'm always the shortest person. People at work have to help me get things off the top shelf. One of my co-workers jokes that "Short people don't have a reason to live."

 

I wish I was 5' 5" it seems like it would be nice.

I do this with plans, all the time. I make plans thinking "yea let's do this, get out of the house" and get really pumped, only to cancel the day before plans, because I get overrun with anxiety and social awkwardness and just want to stay home and do nothing.

 

wut r friends?

 

I do that too. I feel guilty about doing it. But, luckily for me, my friends understand, for the most part.

I don't understand why bidets aren't a thing here, they sell them at hardware stores and stuff. Everyone who has tried one says that it's awesome. 'murica.

 

But in Texas, if you're walking by someone on the street or something, it's kind of customary to acknowledge them (e.g. Hey, how's it going?). If you do that here, in Indiana, most people look at you like you're crazy. My husband held the door open for someone once, and they said "you're not from around here, are you?" 


In Topic: Favorite Neopet?

I've always been really attached to Aishas! My sister bought me a yellow Aisha plushie when I was a kid, so that's always the pet I pick when creating an account. :)
