I've got one that I haven't seen a thread about lately. Korean music. Sure, you have threads asking for pointers on where to see and hear good music and threads about how much kiggers and Korean boy band's fashion sucks, but never about the actual music itself.

It's a toss-up between whining about my dirty apartment I'm too lazy to clean and the mosquito bites from Chuseok that still haven't gone away.

Dang. I thought I was complete nutters for letting the Chip Bag thing bug me so much. Glad to see I'm not alone.

What chip bag thing?

The closest they have come is serving me a handful of Pringles.

Yyccchhhh!

And they don't come in bags.

Koreans sure are sucker for artificial Western food.

My gripe is the anti-shoe policies.

I hate wearing these darn flip flops in school. And if a Korean comes to your home and sees evidence that you have been wearing shoes inside he will scowl.

These darn sandal thingys are bad for your feet. And besides, you can get athlete's foot.

If you don't trim your toenails regularly, you can get ingrown toenail problems more easily because you end up curling your toes to keep the dang sandals from sliding off. So now I'm limping around.

The chip bag thing is hardly new, my ex commented on it back in 2003, and I thought it was odd enough to remember then.

The thing that always drove me nuts but I never heard anyone else comment on was how they make the most mundane announcements on school PA systems sound like rabid propaganda. I'd be hanging out in my homeroom, the national anthem would come on ( nice little ditty) and then I'd hear something that sounded like a speech from "Triumph of the Will" translated to Korean, and turned out to be an announcement about a boy scout meeting

Here's one I've thought about a few times but never posted about. I rarely start threads. I get annoyed when I'm taking the elevator down and it stops at the third floor so that some lazy butt who isn't old or injured or encumbered etc. can go down two measly floors. They could have down the stairs in less than half the time they spent waiting for the elevator. Similarly, when I'm in the elevator at the ground floor about to go up and some healthy, unladen guy scoots in at the last second and presses the button for floor number three.
