Korean Job Discussion Forums

[The evil penguin]

In my dave-given (albeit heavily restricted) right to rant and rave over the internet, like a two-year-old with nappy rash, tonsillitis, and a broken teddy bear, after having a bad day at work (not that a two-year old actually goes to work... i was referring to me..... and not that a two-year old has the finger dexterity to rant and rave on-line anyway... that was a case of ambiguous grammatical structure), I hereby wish to vent. About something. But how to choose??

so so many things to complain about. Do i whinge about every second channel on tv being korean comedy shows complete with idiotic audience members doing their "wooooooooooooooooo" every time the twit onstage ties his shoelaces??? Nah... been done i think. In fact... i think every damn thing in korea has previously been covered.

Ok.... what do i hate most of all in the world... what really really REALLY pisses me off....??

As much as i don't particularly fancy poverty, disease and canadians clubbing seal cubs...

what i really don't like... what REALLY pisses me off...

is when you go to wash your hands in the bathroom sink, but forget that you hadn't switched the the tap over from the overhead shower...

Now THAT pisses me off. I don't like it. Rant over.

I feel better now.

next time try to make your rant at least semi-readable. my eyes glazed over three lines in, and I couldn't decipher where the actual complaint was until a third attempt at reading.


but now that i know what you're talking about,yes, that actually happened to me this morning. i knew when i first started in my apartment that that might be an issue--luckily, forgetting has only happened 4 times, and i'm getting out in a couple of months. i think i can make it w/o having to use two hands to count.

Haha I know what you are talking about although if that is what really pisses you off then I guess its not that bad. Its already happened to me 4 times and i've only been here a couple months.

Well....I guess pissed off is way better than pissed on!

Van Islander: I think I'm mostly "whiney" because I call a place the size of my parents' bedroom my home.

You have my complete sympathy. I wish horrible things on the person who made that shower design. But kudos and happy things on the person who scrapped the bathtub and made the whole bathroom the shower area!

I once fired up the jets on the bidet having forgotten to switch from hot water to cold - and I'm not talking about an uncomfortably lukewarm spray, I'm talking about a blistering beam of boiling hot bubbly blasted directly into the back passage. I'm told the sequence of sounds went something like *water spraying*, *ape-like howling*, *body slumping on tiles*, *eerie silence*. Apart from that one mind-numbingly excruciating episode though, I find the bidet to be an incredibly efficient mode of cleansing.

Was at a send off lunch today at work where some of my co-workers were saying their so longs and fare thee wells.

One of them asked me what I will miss while in Korea, and I told them I might miss not having a bath tub.

After I explained that a typical Korean apartment seems to have the shower drain right in the floor and you just shower right in the bathroom one of them had an idea - you can just shower while on the toilet. Multi-tasking at its finest.

I hate that too, but it's almost always the OiBoy's fault, and he's so damn cute about it that I get over it quickly.
