Like him or not, balzor has more teaching qualifications than 90% of the foreign English teachers in Korea.

As per usual, South Park's skewering of it was right on. "Kinda like that one time when X pop culture person did X random thing" |

This... it's one of the few things that I gets me angry these days. Most other things, I brush off, but this is frustrating... |

Spit on the floor of an elevator.  The worst thing about my apartment building. |

People who use umbrellas when it's not raining, or sunny.
It's entirely unreasonable I know. It doesn't affect me. I know that. But it does, deep down, it bothers the heck outta me. |

Okay well I'm actually one of those morons, but it was a strange habit long before I came to Korea. Friends used to make fun of me all the time, but at least now I don't feel like the only freak. |

Irrational people who let little things get to them.
That and the TV in the lobby at the Seoul Museum of Art. The fact that the beer vendors at the Stadium look like they have Hite on Draft but its actually a backpack of cans. The fact that most used cars for sale are white. The Hotdogs at Family Mart have Sweet Potato on them. Lotteria's chicken tenders are only 2 piece and not 3. The fact that bologna is round and bread is square. Adults who wear sneakers to work. The fact that I can't find a decent conditioner. The over-abundance of polyester in affordable dress shirts. |

My mum sends me conditioner, which she picks up from my hairdresser who imports it from Italy... |

I can help you with the conditioner. It's a bit of a splurge for many, but Lush makes some awesome products.

There's also L'Occitane.

Pfff. SP is not much better these days. They have their own issues, like taking one "joke" and making it last 30 minutes. Pro wrestlers act more than they actually wrestle (who knew?) so let's make a joke about how some guy is a "good wrestler" because of his acting and melodramatic storyline. Then, let's make that same joke 20 more times.
Rob Reiner campaigns against smoking, but look, he's fat and eating a lot of food. That's so ironic...and hilarious. Look, two minutes later he's still campaigning and he's still eating. Do you see the irony yet? It's pretty funny, right? Three minutes later... |

South Park used to be great. It was just random, hilarious, goofy stuff that still made intelligent points from time to time.
Now everything's different. They just take some pop culture issue and beat it to death. There's no more retarded funny crap. Cartman's voice is different, it's mature and stupid sounding. It started doing this around season 8 or 9. Before that it was pure gold. Nowadays, Family Guy still delivers funny episodes and good jokes, South Park is just a lame pile of crap. Damn shame too, because it used to be one of my favorite shows. |

Dunno what your problems are really. Nothing grinds my groin.
I suppose that in itself is frustrating, but hey. |

No offense, but you don't seem to interact with people too much and sit around composing music.
Try going to a coffee shop overlooking the beach and the thing is packed with the atmosphere of a pub at 2am, or hiking with the feeling that you're getting chased and it's some kind of race. Annoying as hell.
Actually, too many annoying things to mention. It's the small things, they are only small things but there are just so many of them. |
