Boys getting drunk and screaming and crying as their friends hug and console him

Kicking animals that stray too near

I've pretty much stopped paying attention to their idiosyncracies. I've reached the point where I almost accept them...except for one:
There are always some guy who feel the need to blast korean pop at the carwash (always twenty-something guys in pimped up avantes or minvans) while wiping down their cars. Makes me want to get some Rammstein CDs to drown them out. I wonder if they'd complain.

I think this thread started off by flutieflakes as lighthearted expressions of valid critical observations.

Here's my two bits:

Things Korean men do that I'd be punished for back home...

1 - popping their head into their buddy's apartment window at nine o'clock on Sunday morning and wondering if an unplanned day trip was possible.

2 - cutting ahead of others in line at the store to buy smokes.

here are a couple of things that have happened to me and really ticked me off.

Being given a gift and being asked to pay for it An older Korean man who works security tracked me down at the hogwan, presented me with a nice caligraphy wall hanging with both English and Korean that he had done himself and presenting me with a bill for 5000 won for material cost. I paid it but was kind of shocked.

Getting my Johnson grabbed and pulled at a spa by an old man who giggled like a middle school girl. Happened twice at two different spas by two different Koreans.

Pretty much any Korean behind the wheel of a vehicle.

The cops total lack of responsibility or duty.

The list goes on.

Hey Corp......every now and then you feel the need to do a little Korean bashing so LIGHTEN UP

I may be a new MOD but I'm quite verse on the meaning of Dave Sperling's guidelines for material in posts: Posts are NOT to be: "...abusive, obscene, vulgar, slanderous, hateful, threatening"

(This thread seems borderline and will be reviewed by the MODs.)

State your points in a considerate manner toward individuals and groups without namecalling or overgeneralized denigrations of them.

Spitting in ashtrays would almost certainly draw a reaction back home.

On the other hand, I enjoy the lack of macho posturing.

Well-mannered Koreans also dislike that kind of behavior.
