my latest "lack of spatial sense" annoyance is people walking down streets with no sidewalks. i can understand we have to share the road, and when i'm driving down the streets of my dong i go slower and respect the pedestrian.
but when people walk 7 abreast and refuse to get out of the way and have a lineup of 10 vehicles behind them because they refuse to share... that's just preposterous.
the other day i was jetting home from the gym. i'm a little late. it's just after lunch, and the nation of sauntering dingdongs is blocking my street. they can see me. well physically they can see me, because i'm in their eyeline. can they see me culturally?
"let's find out", i thought. i started honking, about a block away.
beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep... honking ain't rude here, so no ethical conundrums.
about 30 feet away i bellow "F****NG MOVE!!!" - sure they don't know what it means, but a dude on a bike bellowing probably holds some sort of "oh, something outside my tiny frame of post-lunch reference is happening" weight. people finally step out of the way. i'm an ass, but i feel damned good about myself.
it's a road. share it. |

Hmm... during one of my sauna visits, I walked up to 50-60ish guy who was sitting on the edge of a pool. When I asked him where the bathroom was (after he stopped staring at my junk that was 10 inches from his faces and realized I was actually talking to him) he produced a perverted grin and pointed to the pool. I started moaning in shock: ����� ������!!! ������!!?? �� �ȵ� �ȵ� and he just sat there laughing, obviously proud of himself. That really put a damper on all my future sauna experiences. |

it's been my experience that koreans are pushy and occasionally inconsiderate, whereas americans... you just want to frickin tear their damn throats out sometimes. goddamn retarded little douchebags so clever in their stupidity.
anyway, where else in the world can you feel justified and not out of place in dropping a shoulder into a little old lady? |

And you've seen Americans do this... when? I suggest you adjust your attitude before coming on a board with a large percentage of American posters, and quit talking out of your a s s, troll. |

Common courtesy is universal. Sorry Koreans. Smarten up or continue to get a bad rep all around the world.
I know the line of people can see me. When they pretend they can't, I charge right through. When the goof on the subway pretends to sleep and slumps on me, he gets a sharp elbow. |

Your observations? Where did you observe Americans man-handling old ladies? |

I give up. Is this meant to be ironic? |

4 out of 5 flight attendants agree, the rudest passengers in the world are usually Korean. For real though, on the real. I even met a pilot who said that he loves slamming on the brakes while taxiing after landing at Incheon to throw the Koreans who jump up out of their seats for a tumble down the isle.  |
LOL on that one. That sounds much like what every THAI air pilot wants to do, after the K-passengers have ignored every other broadcast, including the don't-use- the cell-phone, return the tray-tables and the seats to their upright positions. Why do Koreans think that these rules don't apply to them? Oh, of course; they're the master race. |

and how many genocides have koreans been guilty of?
btw, if you lean back your chair that oh-so-luxurious 5 degrees on a plane during takeoff, the wings don't fall off. |

Clearly you're fresh off the boat, and therefore aren't aware of the 'ethnic cleansing' that took place on Jeju in 1948. You might be an apologist now, but after the usual three-month honeymoon period, I can guarantee that these obtuse people will start to get under your skin. Enjoy the bliss while it lasts. |

| listen, dillhole, i've travelled back and forth between the east and west enough times to know that 1. many koreans are stupid, 2. many westerners are stupid, and 3. most westerners in korea are stupid, loud, pointlessly mean, and generally worthless human beings. even here i can't get away from stupid comments being thrown at me at random by some dumb ugly cracker who hasn't had his or her daily dose of "look at me! i have to say something!". if you're one of those people, and i'm guessing you are, let me give you a piece of advice. if you see a 20-something half-white, half-korean dude walking around, don't fucking talk to me. i don't care why you think i want to hear your opinion. you were a stupid child and you're a stupid adult. get a life. |
