Posted: Tue Mar 08, 2011 6:02 am Post subject: THE MAN WON A DAY THREAD TAKE 2 |
|
|
The first one was deleted!!!!
I don't get it? There are threads with really bad arguing that are left to carry on for hundred's of pages and my thread about a man won a day budget is deleted. Sure, 2 posters did kind of troll it and violate the tos, but surely the mods would just delete their messages and then reinstate the thread rather than make me, the op pay the penalty?
Anyhow, I'm living on man won a day and will post my daily expenditure here.
Feel free to do the same and discuss any interesting psycosocialecomonmicalphilosophical insights or issues related to living on man won a day.
yesterday
Galbi ttang - 4500
pack of dunhill lights 2500
bottle of soju - 1000
small pepsi mixer - 500
ghana choc bar - 800
Today
sogogi gukbap - 5000
red berry flavor mackgolli - 3000
gimbap - 1000
2 fermented eggs in soy sauce - 1000
bottle of mineral water - 700
ghana choc bar - 800
I get dinner for free at my hakwan, so just buy a rice and meat dish or noodle dish after getting up around 12pm for brunch and have a 800won choco bar for desert and that lasts me through unitl hakwan dinner at 7.30pm.
I drink coffee for free at the restaurant I buy brunch at and at the hakwan.
I give myself 50,000 for the weekend, but stick to man won a day during the week.
Untill tomorow....

Oh man that's a *wounder*... It's like when you write a FAT email to someone hours long and then the internet fails to send or save it. Stupid Hotmail.
Anyway, stop drinking, fool.
10 grand a day is pretty good going though, especially if you can include smokes and drinks, which are basically just luxuries.
Alternatively you could go back to the casino and try your luck. |

WHAT is it with this dork?
screw it, if he's allowed to violate the tos, then why not me?
I mean we all saw his dorkly picture he posted way back and he - lets face it - looks like a puss puss.
I - a 34 yr old man that has worked for his government, lived in 10 countries and loved more women than this guy will likely ever get to hold a full conversation with - really do not need his inexperienced 20-something perspective or advice.
As noted in my 1st thread, I drink about the eqvt of a bottle of soju per night for chronic insomnia.
This is after trying every sleeping med known to man, herbal remedies, yoga, meditation - you name it.
That much alcohol is a few glasses of wine, really no big deal.
And Y have no tolerance or other symptoms of alcoholism.
And why would anyone begrudge that to a man who otherwise has to suffer lying in bed all night frustrated and ending up a physical and meotional wreck the next day?
And what drives someone to want to publicly lambast a fellow man like that?
what kind of manboy is this that can't keep his petty insults to himself?
And ironically, I have posted in threads he has op'd and have been very civil.
I have my few drinks, light 3 or 4 smokes and I sleep a good 8 hours and wake up happy and no ill effects.
what's the big deal?
This site is weird, it seems to welcome snidey nerdy internet tough guys but not down to earth honest people.
Probably I'll get banned now, but whatever, if that is what this site is about - I don't want to be here anyway. |

Woah did I hit a nerve?
I wasn't even insulting you, I was just joking around.
First sentence - Feeling for your annoyance that it was deleted (not sarcasm)
Second sentence - Just a joke on the deletion of the thread for the same reason
Third - A compliment, impressed that you can manage so frugally
Fourth - Another simple joke.
Chill out. |

Seems I'm not the only one drinking here.
Mods, come on, honestly. I guess you're gona have to ban me or clean up the trolls, coz this is not cool.
Half the threads I post get trolled with this guy, rmnc and madoka and cyui accusing each other of being trolls....
And my harmless man won a day thread gets deleted?

Snark happens. Let it go.
Getting back to the topic at hand, I'll probably be too busy to fast for the entire day tomorrow, and I will have extra transport fees, but I can probably manage without sweets and alcohol during Lent. That will save me some money... not that I drink much. A glass or two of red wine knocks me out rather quickly.

Pfft they won't delete mine, because they'll see sense in it. Admittedly my 'tone' online is rather deadpan and often people misunderstand me, as being snide and all the other insults you gave me, but really I'm just a nice, light hearted none-manly dork, kinda like the insults you gave me in my PM.
I don't pretend to be someone else, this is just me. If I said the same thing in person, you would just laugh it off, or tell me to be quiet and move on.
Please read it in a lighter tone. I have no issue with anyone on here.
Now mods can delete this once you've read and you can keep your food log coming. But don't expect me to not drop the occasional remark here and there. |

Naw, I'd say that if those comments don't come accross as rude, sarcastic and insensitive (especialy the latter to a guy obviously upset about losing almost a month's salary) you just have very poor social skills, poor self awareness and a poorly constructed self perception, but hey ho, we all have our faults.
ok obviously this thread dies / gets deleted in 3, 2, 1.... |

It is a bit odd that a 34 year old has to budget like a 20 year old though. Not to mention bragging about sexual exploits online. Might be time to grow up, no? |

I give up.
Flame on if it makes you feel good and you need it that bad.
I have to budget to meet a set goal. I still have about 5 grand saved up and have no debts and don't need to live on man won a day to survive but I do want a set ammount and will meet it in a set time frame by adjusting the budget, plus I'm kind of enjoying the down to earth pauper's life, it makes you appreciate the small things and reappraise you needs.
Man I really do seem to attract insect life on this forum. Love = boasting of sexual exploits?
Kind of interesting from a psycological point of view. What drives these posters? |

You're right, I have very poor social skills, I can be very insensitive and thoughtless. Yes, You're right in the other thread. I come from a broken family, a father who can't hold a conversation with his own children, who leaves the country and family behind because he didn't like England (sounds familiar).
Raised apart from my sister due to court order. Raised as a loner with no long term or trusted friends etc etc.
A girlfriend who left me for long distance, and my inability to show the emotions I feel, and thus becoming less and less comfortable the more I start to like someone.
Hey ho.
Y'know what? You were wrong about something though. I am happy, and proud of who I am. Are you?
Anyway, Can you not message mods in this forum and suggest deleting things? Then it can start from scratch.
If not, we may aswell sign out of it as good pals, eh? *pats livewire's back*
'What drives these posters?'
I just tend to insult people without knowing/caring, but then end up with the need to justify myself when people react like you did, because it's such a common occurrence that I can say something like 'you look nice today' in a way that comes across as 'You're stupid and I hate you'. |

I wasn't "flaming" on you. I'm just saying that you ask a question that 20 year olds are most likely to respond to, and then get angry at receiving 20 year old's answers. I'm glad that you have loved more women than we have had conversations with. I'm 3 years your junior and I have 20 times the money you have behind me. I don't go too bad with the women, either. Why do I need to mention it in an online forum? I don't. Why do you? Why so defensive? |

1. eh?
2. And you are still trolling the internet?
3. Um, but you did?
I'm glad most of the folks I meet in real life in Korea aren't this weird. Oh, wait a minute... |

Finally, I need say no more. He said it all himself. Yet he still doesn't even realise it.
Poor bloke.
And yeah, I'm fine, really pretty fine.
Outside of the my experience on this forum, which has been sourly dissapoiting mostly thus far.
tomorrow my plan is
gogi mandu - 2000
gimbap - 1000
2 bottles of chang-ha - 3500
choco bar - 800
candy for kids - 1500
gimbap for after dinner - 1000 |

Good to hear you are fine.
2 kimbaps in a day? I quickly grow sick of them. So many 'bap' dishes.
Though it'll be good to return to them after a long time. Like cheese. Though cheese kimbap is gross, despite my love of cheese. |
