Before you arrived in (let me guess) Seoul of all places, did you ever spend any real time in a decently large city? This is not a common occurrence in Seoul, and it's not uncommon elsewhere. If you don't want to live in a city, don't move to Seoul. You remind me of that Sopranos episode where Meadow and her roommate see the woman in New York wearing newspapers for underwear, and she still plonked herself. This happens in cities.
Maybe you'd be better off in a smaller town where they speak english and eat taco bell...you know, back home.
Or if you want Korea with the disgusting, rude, smelly ddunghole that is the life of the inner-city (that's Seoul, kinda like Detroit), then you need to man up and deal with it and stop coming here to bitch. You signed your contract knowing what you were getting into. Go crying home to mama like a little bitch if you can't handle it.
Or live elsewhere. Pusan is nice this time of year. |

This is a shot in the dark but I'm thinking Purple Crayon was just so appalled that she just HAD to tell someone... Am I right Purple??? No need to talk smack on her.  |

Dude, why are you defending the ajushi? I don't see where you're coming from by laying into the OP for posting the weirdest thing he/she has probably ever seen.
You're reacting to this post the same way a Korean does when you criticize anything about Korea: super defensively.
I've been to many countries and cities in my travels, but Korea is the only place where I have seen men passed out drunk in public. Furthermore, seeing one so drunk he's lost a) control of his bodily functions and b) consciousness (in an elevator no less) is remarkable, I don't care where you're from.
So relax, it's weird. And it doesn't make Korea a bad place, nor does it make the OP sheltered and/or naive. |

| I was waiting for the elevator when a screaming drunk ajossi came stumbling in. He could barely stand so it was lucky that he'd scored a skanky 40+ hooker to help him get home. |

have you ever even BEEN to nyc?? or do you watch the Sopranos and think that's enough? bet you even believe "Friends" is an accurate representation as well huh 
yes, there are too many mentally ill living on the streets in nyc as well as many other american cities - but at least there are organizations who do try and help them
what the OP saw and experienced is NOT a common occurrence anywhere - I'm willing to say it's not here tho some friends and I did get on a train once where a guy was passed out and laying in his own piss which covered the car's floor.
to lose that much control of one's bodily functions is a key indicator of extreme alcohol abuse - there is a serious need here for alcohol treatment programs - if there's anything a foreigner can contribute it's standing up to this and how it's dangerous for society - unfortunately too many of you either join in the abuse or stand back and gasp at the spectacle. |

I've seen a lot of old drunk men lying in the streets during both the late evening and early morning. One time, I saw a drunk guy in a suit passed out clutching an empty bottle of soju in the middle of Seoul Station...everyone just continued to step around him/over him.  The drunk old people I encountered back in the States were never so limp...they would always shout crazily and try to steal things. But then, they were also homeless...not in nice suits... |

"Been to" and "lived in" are two different things. I'll have my brother, a five year resident of NYC, come here and comment on how much dirt and filth there are in cities. It's not common to see that, but it's not *un*common. |

| People don't just step over or ride in the elevator with or completely ignore the passed out drunk guy who pissed and shat himself... they at least call the cops. |
