There is no code of conduct.

remeber when you were in grade school and on the walls of every class room there was the codes of conduct don't do this don't do that basic social norms that we had engrained into our minds for so long it's a part of us.

Yeah...that doesn't apply here.

Things are wacky and crazy and backwards here. Things are never in your favor even when you'd think they should be.

people give up easily here. You ask for something they will usually say they don't have it. But if you look hard enough you'll probably find what your looking for on your own. It will take some searching and time.

eg: i was in a supermarket buying booze and coke those two were in the same area then i asked for ice they said "sorry, no ice" it's a GROCERY store of course theres ice!!! 20 minutes later we found the ice and went on our merry way. But instead of saying don't know where the ice i'll call somebody who does know it's acceptable to just say no.

It's frustrating at times but i just have to say to myself you get used to it and do your business better.
