Random Thoughts

I've always wondered about that... whether that's a general American thing or just to shorten movies Cos judging by them, Americans never say hello or goodbye, please or thank you on the phone and just hang up without a word... or the same but walk off without a word if it's in person. So if American movies are anything to go by, Americans don't care that much about closure

A similar point is 'meet me at massive-long-address-full-of-numbers at time'...' okay'. Hang up. If it were me it would be 'hang on while I find a pen and piece of paper... can you repeat that?'... so again, by American movies it seems like all Americans have perfect memories

I had a similar thought as I was watching Finding Dory last night.

Someone gave her directions of, "Two left turns and the go straight," which she thought was too complicated and she'd have trouble remembering.

I watched that scene and thought, "That would be me!"

Ah, so it's not real then? As an American (presumably?) you're not trained from birth to be able to instantly remember phone numbers and complicated addresses/directions on one hearing only, without any questions or clarification of any kind?
