Omuls
don't understand private ownership very well, and have been called
thieves and kleptomaniacs when they are quite used to “borrowing”
and “sharing” others' “possessions.” Also, don't show up on
time when invited to an Omul's home—if you show up early or on
time, you are considered greedy or over-eager. The Omul concept of
time is very subjective, which is part of the reason Omuls often have
difficulty holding down a job because they often show up an hour or
two late. They don't want to seem desperate for money! Another Omul
cultural oddity is their extreme lack of tact—they consider all
points of view, no matter how seemingly offensive, as totally
acceptable, and are known for their bluntness in social situations.
To an Omul, there would be absolutely nothing wrong with pointing out
the large, inflamed zit growing on your nose. Why would you take that
personally?
