I was hoping to find a statement from the aggressor, but it seems to be too early.

    I could understand that if they were an overseas company, but they are from the US. That had to be one of the most incompetent customers service reps ever.

      It is not uncommon, I was almost arrested when I moved to PA because I did not have a passport, or visa, or green card to go with my NM ID that clearly says USA on it for this very reason. Our license plates also say USA on them.

      Maryland also refused me a license twice saying that I needed proof I am a citizen, despite having my NM birth certificate.

      I also had two other distributors tell me they do not sell to Mexico.

      The president elect also has made the mistake. He said we need a border wall between Mexico and Colorado.

        I always knew Americans in general were bad with global geography… but to not even know their own states? That sounds insane.

        Heck, in our Dutch schools, we actually learn all the states in the United States. I definitely know New Mexico is a state. Same as Alaska and Hawaii (but not Puerto Rico, which is a territory but not a state)

        How am I better at this than actual Americans? That should not be a thing.

          I never get tired of Europeans being surprised at the average intelligence here, thank you for making me giggle. The average American is about as smart as a stick, and as we both know, sticks aren’t good at geography
