Is it just me or are the ajosshis getting louder and louder and if possible more hostile and aggressive? My eyes and ears need a vacation from all the verbal and physical abuse I've had the misfortune of seeing lately.

I've noticed a disturbing increase in yelling, shoving, pushing and threatening behavior. This is the lowest level of human indecency I've ever experienced.

Korea does not need any more street ajosshis. Heartbreaking news is that a few years from now just about every street of Seoul will be filled with single men. The male surplus has already started manifesting itself, but this is only the tip of the ice berg. By 2010, there'll be an estimated 500 000 hungry dogs roaming the streets.

Anyway, be nice to each other!

It's not directed towards me. They just yell and attack each other.
Even though this abuse has always been random I feel that's it's getting more and more random.

And it's not only taking place in my neighborhood, I see it pretty much everywhere I go.

Glad you're doing just fine though.

It's the economy.

Imagine how stressed you'd be if you had to return home after blowing 1 million won on a room salon hooker and had to face a screaming wife who complains that you have to make more money.You're now forced to spend 1 million won on higher-class hoookers because the police are cracking down on all of the cheap prostitutes in areas like Jangnandong, Seoul, but leaving the upscale Kangnam hooker salons untouched.

I bet you'd be pissed, too, if you were the average Korean male.

If you had even the smallest inkling of how stressful this can be to a Korean man, you'd shut up and cut them some slack. Evil or Very Mad

Ok, so I had one bizarre incident...that person was as drunk as the day is long and by the by, my LEFT nut went through the entire color spectrum.

Some parts of Seoul are worse than Gehenna!

I like to wear patterns that clash. I have a greasy side part and a bad hair cut. I like to eat dog soup. When I drink soju I make a nasty noise.
I like to throw up everywhere. When I go to a restaurant I let my kids run riot. I go to room salons and feel up the girls working there. I like fighting for the bill. I shout in public and sssshhhh the foreigners. I wear a nasty see through white dress shirt and you can see my undershirt . I smoke thin cigarettes and hold them like a pansy.
