Is it odd if my landlord has never addressed me by my name?
I live in the east bay, and IDK if it's a San Leandro and maybe parts of Bay Area thing (I grew up here, but in Santa Rosa and then some San Jose as a teen), but my landlord whom I've lived with for one year almost, has never said my name, not even once. Well, yeah once, but only because it involved my lease being up and me moving out. My name is common and nothing too odd (Jacob) and he said "hey Jacob, here ya go." Even when I say his name over and over, he won't say it back.
Not saying I am special, but I find it odd. I've talked to him 50-70 times and I feel he may be on the spectrum, doesn't make eye contact etc. He is American too, so not like it's cultural for whom to do what he does (he's white / Hispanic).
Is this common amongst landlords or neighbors or coworkers? I feel coworkers, that's hard to do that with, and it would be seen as rude if you never said their name. I just find it odd, is this a common Bay Area thing where people just don't exercise slightly personable communication? Most weren't like this, maybe a bit shy, but not like refusing to say your name (he'll be like '...uh... hey, uh.......... man, watch out for my dog outside, he's acting up.") He'll hesitate and may think of saying my name but will just say man. Just kinda odd.
TBH I find it uncomfy. The awkward pauses when he thinks of addressing me by name, but doesn't, is just uniquely awkward socially. I say his name back and am always friendly. At least mostly heh.
