I'm only 5'10 and 150lbs. In the presence of two intoxicated security guards, one angry hagwon owner who was yelling at me, there was plenty of reason for me to fear for my safety.

So let me get this straight: you went and interviewed for a job, asked your pontential employer if his diplomas were fakes, and then became suprised he got angry and asked you to leave.

I wish you a lot of luck on the job hunt. The way you're going, you might find one by 2009.

Hard to say what is funnier the OP for the obviously BS post of those who seem to be falling for it. Maybe a tie?

I'm the same height, but 235 pounds. As soon as one of those guys said "We'll hurt you" I would've come back with a "Well why don't you try it now?" in Korean. I don't like threats.

Why did you ask him if they diplomas were fake?

Anyway, I'd probably pop in their, too if I were in the area. Sounds like you didn't know about them, but we all know you did.

I give the OP props for asking the fake diploma question.

I received an e-mail from Mr. Kim today stating,

"You brought disgrace on families and school. Come back never you fu ck ass hole. We are very angry at you. Teachers angry at you! I call police on you if you come."

What should I write back to him?

Reply to Mr. Kim,

I hope the shame you feel will bring you to a better place in your life.

I thought you said your name was Mr. Lee?

I forwarded Photos of your diplomas to the Ministry of Education, Immigration, and the local Media outlets. I appreciate the time we spent together. The tea was bitter.

Add some links to the recent wave of credential scandals and the consequences.
