to get annoyed with the way English people communicate?

[BobMarley]

Now, I am not English so you can tell me to sod off to my own country if I don't like it here .

BUT I'm getting sooo tired with people talking in circles. For example, the hinting when someone need a favour or something. You don't have to have a 5 minute conversation with me just so you can ask me the question in a roundabout way. Can you just ask the question? And I'll answer with 'yes' or 'no'.

Simples and time-saving, no?

It makes me paranoid, as where I'm from you just say what you mean and what you want. No guessing and reading in between the lines involved. Half the time I'm completely missing the point of the whole conversation as it so cryptic!

AIBU?

"Particularly in the pub with friends and you can have a proper discussion about something without worrying that you might upset someone with your viewpoint. In England I'm quite careful with what I say as I'm afraid that I end up upsetting someone as they take my viewpoint often personal. Whilst I think it is just my opinion and it is absolutely fine to disagree and to tell me so. We can still be friends!"

Yes, yes Bob, the same happened to me!
