Go steal two umbrellas from a restaurant and make good with those. All will end well for you and your friend.

He broke it he needs to bring in an appropriate sized string and put it on himself, tune it and walk out the door.

This was his plan. He said he was heading over there yesterday or the day before. I haven't heard what her reaction was, but when I was there, the woman wanted money -- 20,000 won or she was going to hold onto his coat and whine like a slapped baby (which she did until the phone came out and started recording).

Wrong. He should have cut the string into fourths and demanded that he only pay for the quarter piece of string that broke. After all, why should she get a whole new string when he only broke a small part of it. Plus we are talking about a whopping 1500 won here. Do you have any idea how many pieces of egg bread you can buy with that kind of money?!?!?!

If she refuses, call her a racist, throw a hissy fit while stomping your feet and threaten to hold your breath. That is being alpha.

Totally unreasonable.

Just about sums up life here in general some days. Others days people are very helpful. Always yin or yang here for some reason.

So that's two topics now where OP (or his friends) have damaged merchandise. Is this a troll?

We didn't get the whole story. There was probably some towel-snapping as well as FIRST DATE BITES, SHE ATE BABY.

It is really just a few desk jockeys who cannot make their break into something better, and are blaming it on the white man. This, of course, all while the "promised land" they "escaped" to is actually responsible for judging them as lesser.

So they troll here, attacking others so that they do not have to face their own grim reality.
