behaviour.
at hapjeong station. the train was busy. i was unintentionally stood at the transfer doors. a lot of people were transferring so a lot of people started to get off just as an elderly (this woman was very old), blind woman was trying to get on the train. she put one foot on and was barged, shoved and pushed back onto the platform, nearly falling over in the process.
that is what happened and i think we can all agree that it these were disgusting actions for so many people to do. no-one stood aside to let this woman onto the train.
however, one must remember that koreans "respect the elderly", koreans "show respect to the elderly". how many times have i heard a korean person say this to me? and then you witness something like this!
i'm sorry, i have tried to come to this country with an open mind for the sake of my fiancee, but when i witness and see something like this i realise that the majority of the people here are all two-faced, ignorant bigots!!! |

I've said before, and I'll say it again: Koreans are in the main, the most obtuse people in this galaxy, with the possible exception of Klingons. Fortunately, I don't have to deal with Klingons on a daily basis. |

So kiwiboy, you've never seen an outright racist thread on Dave's ESL? You have now. Cheers, mate.

Oh my fucking God, ratslash!!!!!! One old lady got totally dissed!!!!!! For being an idiot and standing in front of a crowded door and trying to board a train when I've spent countless hours setting an example by forcing people to wait behind me and let everyone off the train before the newbs start piling on!!!!!! Screw that noise, let's crack some heads for old lady!!!!!! |

I once saw a middle-aged Korean man going through the door and he let it swing back and hit this poor, elderly woman in the face. I felt so bad for her. Has he ever heard of holding the door for a lady, or for that matter, a fellow human being. Oops...I guess he hadn't been formally introduced to her, so she did not exist. |

Lee Brown raped and killed a 79 year old woman in the UK last year. From this I am forced to conclude that all people from the UK are strange people who enjoy raping and killing the elderly, and because of this they are not invited over to my place to play DDR anymore. |

Koreans push each other and the concept of queuing is alien to the vast majority of them. Nothing controversial here. Now this would be a little different....
Koreans push each other and lack patience, they are idiots, they should learn manners. I hate Koreans because they push. Horrible, rude people. They have no respect. They are selfish morons who wouldn't even queue at a funeral. Korea is a horrible place, and everything here is terrible because they don't queue.
What is wrong with the OP's observation? Yes, we've heard it all before, but it's pretty accurate. Anyway, Korean food is delicious. |

When I first got here, I would hold the door for people behind me out of habit, but people here don't seem to know how to handle having the door held for them. Instead of reaching out and grabbing the door so I can let go, they would just pass through it (slowly), and make me wait there holding it for them like an idiot. Needless to say, I don't bother holding the door anymore.
And as for the old lady on the subway, I can't really blame those other people. They were trying to get off a crowded subway train, but sure enough, some spoiled old lady insists on pushing her way onto the train before letting them off. Of course she got pushed back. If I were on that train, I would have been tempted to give her a little elbow action myself (key word is tempted). Maybe next time she'll wait off to the side until everyone gets off. |

I would just like to point out that there have been threads on this forum about how they were trying to get off the subway and "an adjuma" was blocking their way and trying to get on, so they pushed into the person and knocked them back.
Many celebrated them as being a hero.
Not sure why when it's a white guy doing the pushing, they're a hero. But when it's a Korean doing the pushing, suddenly everyone of the same ethnicity is a two-faced, ignorant bigot. |

I have no sympathy for her. It's very simple physics, the people have to get off before new people can get on. If she's old she should have had time to learn this by now. |
