Anyone else noticed that you can't walk down the street in Kangnam without every-other business trying to play their music louder than the next? It's become like a competition on the exit 5 side, as you walk around near Twosome Place, Giordano, Pizza Hut, and that row.

A few years ago, it wasn't like this.

It's at the point that I think about avoiding Kangnam's main street because of it.

It took you this long to decide to avoid that street? I live right off of it, and I hate, HATE, having to deal with it everyday. I imagine if the North did invade, they would come to a standstill trying to march down this road.

Gangnam= Evil or Very Mad

Koreans are in general a very annoying people. They are so good at it that there must be a subject called Annoying 101 in school.
What can I do that's annoying today?
Play very loud music.
Park in front of building entrances so no one can get in.
Try to get in the elevator before anyone can get out
Stop half way into an intersection so no one else can go.
Stand in the middle of the street yapping on the phone.

Why can't they at least use decent speakers instead of the tinny crap ones? I could probably tolerate the music better if play quality was better. Probably.

Wow, with your first sentence I thought you were being too harsh, then I realized I run into at least two of your grievances every day Sad

Anyway, yeah, my program placed me right behind the theater last year, and that was basically all I could stand of Gangnam. Hate the place now, and only really go back for that hookah bar Rainbow (far superior to Bricx btw).

Another thing that annoys the hell out of me is the "Korean fan out!" No matter where and how many Koreans there are, they immediately fan out to fill the given space and no one can go around them. Stupid, self abosrbed people!

I think some people have a 'piss off others' quota. Like how police have a quota of tickets to write.

Basically, if they haven't met their quota, they have to block roads, do annoying shit, shout at each other on the quiet street at night, etc, until they piss off enough people.
