If this bothers you , why don't you just move back wherever you were?OP here. I am glad to be back home for a while. I was dragged to Wally World over night and truth be told in a bad mood when I made the post this morning, sorry <head hanging down>
Anyway after my long night of Black Friday shopping I walked in to another email from one of the apartments Here is the EXACT copy and paste of the email I received, and it was in PINK no less
[FONT="]Hey u were approved with a 100 deposit, you like us to go ahead and charge ur card the 100.00 plus the application fee? For move in around Christmas! we r flexible with your move in date also , when you tell me you move in date I can tell you how much you need for the month of December [/FONT]Hope 2 C U soon!
This is the entire email. No greeting me by name, no signature to tell me who it was that sent it. They all use a general apartment email address, and seeing as how there are 3 of them in the office it could have been any one of them, surely it is not to much to ask for them to sign their name as I would like to know which one I am talking to, right?
* just to clarify, all 3 in the office speak English as their native tongue *
This is not some section 8 apartment complex but probably one of the nicest ones in the city.
The comparison to Latin America was because I used to say that it annoyed me how everyone got dressed up to go to the grocery store and that business was so formal. Now that I am used to it, I suppose the casualness of the USA is bothering me...
When your 'schooling' is comprised of courses in "The psychology of LGBT Underwater Basket Weaving and its Environmental Effects on the Oppressed" it really doesn't prepare you for the world's actualities.
A Mea Culpa combined with "Oh wow, at last I'm part of the new generation"....
Incomplete sentences. Two of them.
I swear you sound like us Southerners talking about those Dam Yankees who have invaded us. 
FIFY
That's funny, I've noticed it too. The music that was controversial/rebellious when it first came out (and we were all younger) is now mainstream, even elevator muzak. I laugh when I see 20-somethings wearing The Beatles and Led Zeppelin t-shirts too, what's up with that?
Well it sounds like you really do have a great place to live. Congratulations.
I am from the USA and for the most part I love it here. But, I have become very spoiled living the good life even further south and will head back to my new home as soon as I can. The quality of life for me is so much better and while we have our own problems down there, riots or malaria are not really on the radar. A more common worry among my friends is what to wear to the ballet or the opera after having a wonderful dinner at a world class restaurant (all at half the price of what an identical evening would cost back in the USA).
*******
I probably shouldn't have posted the thread in the first place. I was out all night shopping with my sister (never again) and was sitting here reading the site trying to make myself sleepy when the email came through... I was frustrated that once again I had received an email without the person identifying themselves and my tolerance was low after my frustrating night.
Bottom line for me: Young people, or adults for that matter, talking friends is fine but I think that when in a business environment they should at a minimum spell out words and identify themselves.
Nope, look it up.
