Don't Move to Pearland (Houston, Scotland: loan, shop, approval)

Edited due to readers' inability to undertand what "tongue-in-cheek" means. Sad, actually.

Stay away! I'm tired of the traffic jams on 518 @ 7AM on Sunday.

This post reeks of racism and untruths. It's diverse. If you don't want diversity move to South Dakota!

And your post reeks of an inability to decipher sarcastic jesting. if you don't want levity, move to Washington DC.

Well said. Every state should be diverse. Some americans come from a distance land. Namely Britain.

if you want to guage the 'diversity' of this area, visit the local Popeye's chicken on Tuesdays.

It's a sad world HR - someone actually thinks I was making an 'analogy' of my son being a bear last week

Don't stop making me

Here's the topper of all misunderstandings.

Once we had a loan administrator that called HR on me when I told her that the responsible party in her group (made a loan without approval) should be "keelhauled". She thought that meant some kind of sexual misadventure and dropped the dime on me. LOL

LOL! You should see the trouble we get into with our scottish-english v's american english. My son's fourth grade teacher quickly suggested he ask for an eraser not a rubber and in the UK it is quite acceptable to 'bum a f@g' (get a cigarette from someone). On the flip side never ever suggest that you might slap someone on the fanny in Scotland!

Well, at least he's being proactive at a young age.
