-I'm talking about flat out irrational hatreds. I mean things that defy logic AND taste. That make less sense than an autistic baby with a chomsky bot. I mean sense sterilized hatreds, boiled past the point of no return.
For me, all my hatred of things in Korea has one form, a sort of platonic point of no return. I'm talking about
CROWN J
-If you understand, you know no sane discussion is possible. So what are your pet peeves of whack. No "I hate 6 year olds saying hello or no cheese." I want "They DON"T have enough PC game tv programs"

I've pretty much loved (or at least appreciated) everything about Korea since I've got here. The only thing that really pisses me off are those goddamn charlie chaplin hats the ladies are sportin. Christ, I can accept manbags, causal vests etc. but goddamn i hate those hats.

As annoying as CROWN J is, he's nothing compared to his "wife". How he hasn't knocked her out yet is beyond me.

Why the hell do their stupid mountain trails have to be so goddamn rocky and craggy? Huh? HUH???!!



(okay, that's probably more irrational than bizarre)

In a similar way: Dress socks in the gym, but sports socks in suits.

ahahahaha! Nice.

I think, the faces of people on the green line (especially) make me angry. The subway is interesting because it's one of the few places where Koreans don't have to put on a show: so, of course 70% of the people I look at are either brain dead or visibly miserable. And it spreads...like cancer.

Leaving the windows open in a car with the AC on. What's the point?

Having to separate your garbage into God knows how many categories.

I actually like it here, but the "pre-emptive" honking is annoying. Especially from taxis.

That mosquito fogging they do. Often a motorcycle or tiny pickup truck will have an implement attached that shits out all this horrid chemical dust into the air that must be really bad for us, but gives us the luxury of not having mosquitoes and bugs. It's over kill...

This weird practice would never go over in a western country. Asians don't seem to care about pollution and destruction to ones health and the environment as they live for today only.
