 Posted: Fri Jun 15, 2007 1:10 am Post subject: New Subway Etiquette sticker |
 |
|
I saw a new sticker preaching subway etiquette on the number 7 line the other day. I snapped a picture of it with my phone but it came out too blurry.
I liked this one.
It said (loosely translated)
Over there there is someone talking loudly on his/her phone.
Over there there is a man carrying a puppy.
Over there there is a man taking up lots of space with his legs.
Over there there is a student pretending to sleep.
And then a little more about what not to do on the subway (fold your newspaper in half, keep your phone on vibration mode, etc.
How could they forget to remind people not to snap their gum? It must have been written by an ajumma. |

Are you sure that's what it said? |

| Yes. It said not to hold your newspaper out widely, and then it said what to do, fold it in half. |

I usually do my best to ignore this (impossible though it may be), but today I had confront a lady. I had never heard it so loud in all my days here. I just stared at her smacking my mouth in an obvious overly mocking gesture until she caught the hint. I mean seriously, I've never heard heard an ajjuma work so funking hard on piece of gum before. |

Two summers ago I caught the Mugunghwa train from Jochiwon, near Cheongju, to Busan to get the ferry to Fukuoka and fly back to Australia from there. Pity me, I got seated in front of some old cow who snapped the same piece of gum from Daejon to Busan at ear-shattering decibels. I finally cracked during the last hour and went and sweated it out in between the cars. |

| This is the only reason why I bought an ipod. Also when I go and eat. Can't stand that either. |
