I was told that going to University and getting a degree would ensure I wouldn't have to struggle to get a decent job. Here I am 4 years on, with 17,000 pounds of student loans to repay, whilst many schoolmates without degrees are far better off. Sad

This person is not "hot".

This is just a person who said they have been here a while and could not get a job. I felt sorry for this person,and could not understand why this person could not get a job.

I knew of 2 jobs in my area, and I told this person that they could stay with me awhile. Hey, I am nice. (stupid, but nice)

But I did not know this person was very picky about jobs. I did not know this person only wanted to live and work in Buson. I did not know this person wanted to work there so this person could get a seasonal pass to Disney Land in Tokyo and go there once a month. I never would have invited this person to stay with me for 5 minutes if I had known that.

I did not know this person only wanted a Univ. job, and would not take 1.9
Some Univ, pay 1.9 Some pay 1.8 Some have hours that are low. But if u do not have a job, you take what you can get. Each month this person does not work is zero salary.

Forgive me, I am just disgusted with myself at the moment.

Hey, this person came over here, and had no money and no job. So I figured I could help another human out. We have all needed help at times, haven't we?

I let myself be used. I am sure other people beside me believe sob stories. But enough is enough. When this person told me they did not want to be woken up if some one called about a job, then it was time to throw that person out.

I may be soft, but I was sick of being a door mat.

Fair enough. I've been played for a fool and exploited many times. Sounds like you just picked the wrong day to be a nice person.

I hear ya....

I figure, unless you love them in one way or another, having people in your house always leads to being annoyed.

Ugh. Been there too.

I am so glad for this topic. it saved me from making one.

I am thankfull for this person. I am a firm believer that from every bad comes some good.

This person. while a first class nut, did m a favor. She organized my apartment, and she taught me how to make shelfs from cardboard boxes. That is really cool.

You all know me, that I can not spell well, and my grammar sucks at times (but I do use a dictionary in class and when I write in other places then (than?) here.

I just wanted to help some one out.

My life is good. I am happy, and I have a good job. I love where I live, and life is good.

I have made some lousey choices in the past, but haven't we all?

I wanted to believe this person. It was a total BS story, and this is why I am using this forum, and this topic. (sorry if I abused it).

But this person took me for a ride. OK, I let her.

But I wanted to help some one.

And I want to warn others: Do not feel sory for some one who does not have a job. Feel sorry for some one who needs your sympathy.

And feel sorry for me. Nopw I have no cream cheese..........

About a BS story, we all have believed one some time or another. We just have to be careffull.

We are her in Korea for what ever reason we are.

Some of us want to make money. Some of us can not find jobs at home. Some of us just wanted to se another country. Why we are here, is our business.

But believeing a BS story is one thing we do at times.

Just be carefull about this person. Do not believe a thing sh says.

She comes across as a real nice and caring person, but she is a nut.

God forgive me.

Just wanted to make a comment: My spelling is not good and neither it my typing. I just have arthritis in my hands and my hands hurt,

Just a warning: Please do not believe things that you hear. BS is BS, no matter what language it is in.

And please watch out for this person.

After a lengthy military deployment (Desert Shield/Storm) many padlock keys had been misplaced.
I was told to ask Chief Master Sergeant SoandSo for the "universal key."
He looked at me quizzically, and gave me a pair of bolt cutters.

As a kid at summer camp, we'd tell rookies to ask the dining hall staff for some more napkins.
But make sure to ask for sanitary napkins.

More military goofy stuff.
I was in the 82d Airborne and an armoured vehicle driver.
It was easy to convince noobs that we actually were inside the tank as it left the flying aircraft!

This one may be urban legend material.
Preparation: Put some MRE (meal-ready to eat) in an Air Force motion sickness bag. (in secret and hidden)
Feign a nasty puke minutes before a jump. Your accomplice snatches the bag and eats the contents.

One guy, an experienced jumper, would go around to noobs after we're all rigged up and ready to board the bird.
With a seriously horrified demeanor, he'd say, "Man, I've got a BAAD feeling about this."

They were selling these paper bouncing cut-outs on the street in Daehangno once. They seemed to bounce to the music. You couldn't touch them, because they were in a long, thin box, although the box was open in the front. I looked and looked at those things, trying to figure out how they worked. I was so impressed, I bought two. Paid 5,000 won. Got the package, and saw the clip in the back for a super-thin "invisible" string. Nice trick. My friend laughed his butt off when I opened it.
