Loud cellphone chimes on public transport have to be number 3.

It's unbelievable these days the quantity of text messaging done in this country. Insane.

In Korea?

The most annoying thing I've noticed is the way women here chew gum. Actually, I don't know if I'm really annoyed by it, or just completely amazed that they can make it snap so frickin' loudly and in such rapid succession.
