a question for webmasters outside the US

11-26-2010, 06:55 AM

Mistakenly on Wednesday I wish a webmaster a Happy Thanksgiving, I said it like this;

Jim (10:03:11 24/11/2010)
no problem at all (omitted for privacy), if you are located in the US have a Happy Thanksgiving

Omitted for privacy (10:04:10 24/11/2010)
no, im not, but thx anyway ))

Jim (10:04:25 24/11/2010)
have a great thursday then!

Now you can see he handled it well but I am wondering. If you're not from the US and someone wishes you a happy (whatever US specific holiday it happens to be). Does that annoy you? I am just curious as hell

and here is a naked picture of a non-US resident to make the thread more entertaining

Not annoyed, just wondering why the rest of the world would be expected to know or care. Seems a bit late for a harvest festival too.

Just doesn't really mean anything here. Like wishing someone a happy new year when it's March.

I'm not an American, don't live in the US, but I can appreciate the underlying ideas of the 4th of July and I'd expect a non-US webmaster who took offense to you wishing him a Happy 4th of July to either not be to bright or to confuse the underlying ideas with imperialistic chest thumping.

I would suspect the latter in that particular instance

what actually annoys me more is the politcal correctness that comes along with some holidays nowadays. people who get offended when someone wishes them "merry christmas" instead of "happy holidays". :-/

and you can wish me whatever you want, but don't expect that i keep all american holidays in mind - unless you volunteer to learn all czech holidays ;)

He was a dick then. If someone wished me Happy Bastille day I would be more upset I wasn't in France enjoying a vacation, than the fact that I got wished Happy Bastille day while still in the US.

It's hard to get me offended though. Happy-white-man-killing day wouldn't even stir me up and I'm about as white as can be.

Doesn't bother me in the slightest, I normally just reply with "Thanks, you too."

you're dead on imo about political correctness, if I wished (as an example) a Jewish person a Merry Christmas, I think it would be appropriate and a bit entertaining if they wished me a Happy Hanukkah. To me things like that are just well wishes and I will accept as many of those as possible.

That would be a mistake to wish me a Happy Bastille day or any other holiday like that. I would follow up with several questions regarding that specific holiday because I would be curious to learn about their customs and such. Could be a longer conversation then they were looking for!

I hear ya on the not being offended by the kill whitey day, it would be funny (unless I was the one they wanted to kill) I am as lily as they come. I bet I could read a newspaper through my hand!

Some people are annoyed when they are congratulated with an incorrect holiday.
