It starts at 3pm in the afternoon, hmmm.. |

I see it everyday on the subway.
A whole bunch of fleshy body-shaped automatons moving from place to place with a rectangular object in their hands, roughly 1 foot from their face. |

I do not walk around with a phone in my face. I do not bump into things and other people because I am not paying attention. You can decide if that makes me above anyone else or not.

So, no one ever bothers to communicate with you and rather than reading an ebook or getting online news about current events, you choose to stare numbingly ahead or ogle the girls in short skirts.
Again, what is it you're doing? Solving theorems in your head? Vigorously editing your manuscript? |

I sincerely doubt that the majority of Koreans walking around with phones glued to their eyes are reading news about current events. They play games or watch some TV/Movie and proceed to do this from the moment they leave their door, to the subway station, to their place of work, and screw anyone they inconvenience because they NEVER look where they are going.
You have something against ogling girls in short skirts? |

I dunno, do you have anything against Koreans staring at foreigners?
Anyways, the idea that some random English teacher here is somehow so far above the people here smacks more of a desperate cry for attention and validation than anything real.
"I'm not a zombie because I wear a faded band t-shirt and listen to different music while on my way to teach lesson 4 of GoGo Loves English." Get over yourself. |

If I message someone, I do it when I am sitting or waiting somewhere, not while walking.
On the subway, most of the time I read a book.

Relax, man.
I don't think the Zombie walk cell phone joke implied in any way that he thought he was some superior being. It was just a moderately amusing quip, that's all.
Anyway, people who walk at a snail's pace transfixed to their phones are certainly annoying. I will state, for the record, I am a better pedestrian than them. |

When it comes to being a better pedestrian than Koreans, there is nowhere to go but up.
But yes, thanks Sister Ray for getting the joke. I wrote my comment because, by coincidence, zombie is the very word I use to describe people who wander around hypnotized to their phone.

Steelrails on adults: "Sorry but adults drinking milk is akin to grown men wearing shorts to work, chewing bubble gum, drinking from a straw while at a table, sugary cereals, playing checkers or tic-tac-toe, bringing a mitt to a baseball game, sandals away from the beach, not wearing a belt, using a pencil instead of a pen for office work, chewing a pencil, drinking rum and cokes over whiskey (unlesd for concealment purposes), and popsicles (unless dunked in beer)."

Lesson learned, don't act superior to a demographic, (unless it includes everyone over the age of 21.) |
