Having just sat in the office listening to a female teacher complain for 20 minutes. I have realised that the dog down the street and her complaining sound almost the same.


Bow wow wow wow woooow wooowow - Dog
Bow wow wow wow woooow woooowow - Teacher.

Exact same thing happening here. Our school is getting downsized and an ajumma who is always loudly complaining about something (with jaw dropped, a uniquely Korean mannerism) is whining about her being amongst those for the chop.

Jolly good, getting rid of the deadwood.

I'd rather listen to the dog - at least there was probably a point to his bow wowing (protecting his territory maybe?). The co-worker, well, she can just go to hell - I have no sympathy for self-pity rants.

It's like the sound that the students make when they don't want to do something

They eeeeeeennnneaaaaa sound.

I have to leave the room when I hear it. It triggers a rage that I find hard to control.

I've been hearing the Korean teenage whine for a solid two weeks now as the students at my high school come filing in with various excuses and complaints after getting their test results. It's weird how a Korean teacher will patiently listen to a 20 minute whine from a 17 year old who is upset at getting an A-.

^ Go have a look at the armrests of their chairs and see if you can see any finger nail marks from them digging in.

I have pitted the glass top of my desk from the amount of complaining going on.

not to mention the drama of one teacher having a fight and locking herself in the female sleeping room all day and refusing to come out.

What's a "sleeping room" Why is it necessary to have one at a public middle school. Is there a Male equivalent?
