An irritating event today that I notice more and more now.

Korean families who shop with 2 carts: one for their child[ren] to sit/lie spread out in and the other for putting actual food into. It just add to the congestion of navigating the aisles.

Carts have a specific sitting section for young children and the main part of the trolley should not be used for sitting in.

The noisy mass invasion of a group of people into a lift without any consideration for those already inside.

A persons cellphone ringing everytime you try to have a conversation with them .

People regarding answering their phone as a priority over continuing the conversation with the person they're with.

For me, the most irritating thing is when ajummas are chewing gum loudly. It drives me nuts. I hate the sound of gum being chewed.

So, when an ajumma sits down next to me on the subway while engaging in this act against humanity, I often find myself compelled to go elsewhere on the train even if there is no other seat available.


This. It's disgusting and monumentally unattractive. Often they aren't sitting next to me, but you can hear them from the other end of the bus. One would think it's a gum smacking competition or something.

Also, bus drivers playing their radio at 110 decibels, and those stupid TV screens. Why people can't live without TV screens is beyond me.
