182- You wear a New York Yankees hat every day to class, but you have never watched an MLB baseball game in your life.

Most don't even know it's a Yankees hat. They think the 'NY' is a clothing company symbol. I shit you not. I quizzed a bunch of high schoolers when I was a PS teacher a few years back when every other student was wearing one.
They either seemed let down or just acted like I was making it up. |

That's because they don't want to be a 양키놈. Can't blame them.

194) You always order the same thing in Starbucks/McDonalds etc. but still have to have a ten minute question/answer session with the server while ordering.
195) When the server in Starbucks or whatever asks for the money you act as if nobody ever told you you'd have to hand over money for your order. Then you spend another ten minutes looking for your purse.
196) You use a credit card to pay for a 500 won packet of gum.
197) You stand at a padestrian crossing waiting for the green light, and then when it changes to green you turn around and walk away, bumping into the foreigner standing behind you in the process.
198) You think instant noodles make a delicious and healthy snack.
199) You think that the ability to memorise things from a book makes your child smart.
200) You think it's perfectly normal to take your 3 year-old shopping at Homeplus at 1am. |

201) Make your kids wear a tae kwon suit to hagwon everyday, even though they can't punch their way out of a paper bag!
202) You have no idea why foreigners have no clue on who invented the clothes hanger! |

- Restuarant quality is directly proportional to kimchi quality.
-You know that a fan left on in a closed room won't kill you, but you just don't feel like risking it.
-You feel that even in Korea, there just aren't enough publicly acceptable places to spit.
-The suggestion that communicating over the phone with words, or anything other than a series of various pitched grunts , may be rude, seems confusing and wrong. |

Seriuosly,this has happened to me several times.
20?) Foreigners are invisible. We exist as bad people in theory, but your special glasses make us invisible so that you start to make your order in any outlet regardless of whether a foreigner is standing infront of you. We aren't there, so we don't have a place in the queue.
20?) Westerners smell bad, despite the fact that we don't eat bloody kimchi for breakfast. I actually like the stuff, but there is a time and place for everything. But I guess it's TRADITIONAL!! Sh*t how I hate the "T" word in Korea. |
