Don't talk yourself down, you're an exceptionally houseproud lady, if ever I knew.
Just whirl your arms like a windmill pointing at everything that's out of place and say 'sorly' and smiles all round.

The thing is, we live in houses in our home countries, where summararily barging in, is plainly not on.
But the Koreans living in apartments and the duty guy wanting to get things done with, is more acceptable.

Amusing thread.

Oh man. I've been living in Korea for 4 years and there are few things I truly HATE about life here, but this is one of them.
I'm not a very clean person, and when someone comes over (even just a handyman), I like to spend a little time cleaning so the person doesn't think I'm a slob. And don't even get me started on them just walking into your apartment. . .
A few months ago, when I had just moved into a new apartment, a handyman came by totally announced (note- he wasn't fixing anything, he was just checking to see if my gas had been connected. It had, there was no problem and nobody asked him to check on this). I was in the shower and had stupidly forgotten to lock the door. He walked in and MUST HAVE HEARD THE SHOWER, and starts fiddling around in my kitchen (in my messy apartment). I could hear him while I was in the shower and was so FURIOUS that I turned off the water, threw my pajamas on without even drying off, flew out of the bathroom in a rage, screamed at him in English, literally pushed him out into the hallway, screamed some more, slammed the door in his face and locked it.

I have to admit I was imagining you looking like your avatar and was having a chuckle until this bit. He obviously wanted to scope a little side-boob! |

Maybe to give you just enough time to turn off the porn, cover yourself up? |

| Change your locks and get your own key. This way no one can barge in on you. They're doing this because they don't respect you. Always lock your doors. |

The best thing you could have done was walk out and say "Hi!�stark naked, preferrably with a condom still on your johnson. That would have enacted more revenge than any amount of cursing in either language. She would have been mortified and it would have been well-deserved.
In Korea, yelling looks bad, and getting even often requires a subtle change in tactic. Nonetheless, revenge is still very satisfying. |
Are you kidding? She would have seen the comparatively massive weigook schlong and would have started lusting after every mighty whitey she ran into. |
You can always tell the little guys who speak of this fantasy.... if you were hung with a subak-sized gochu, as I am, you would know that most Korean women run in fear, screaming, "TOO BIG! TOO BIG!" |

Yes, that's not what I meant. I meant that most Americans would see something blatantly wrong with that scene. Whereas Koreans do not . . .
I complained big time to my school's secretary and made her call him, and she seemed to think I was making too much of a fuss . . . |
you handled this all wrong.
You should have screamed 'bbali naga' at the top of your lungs WHILE bashing him over the head with a big wooden spoon (or any other appropriate bludgeoning device) |

You got caught in your own lie, swampfox, they scream "KING _____! KING _____!"
(When I decreased the font it said "size=9," which was comical (don't use that against me)). I was only making a joke no banishment or weiner-size flame war, please |
