 |
|
Alright this is a must have kind of topic for living in Korea. Should be a sticky but anyway here goes....
Some things I resorted to doing knowing I was getting out of a contract soon:
1. Ration the amount of toilet paper. Why would anyone bring extra of that to their next place?
2. The same holds true with dish and laundry soap.
3. One place I was in the light went out in the apartment but since I was leaving in 4 days I figured why should I buy a new bulb?
4. Knew better than to buy any bulk food and drinks at the supermarket. Rationed what I had day by day until freedom arrived.
5. I knew the refrigerator needed fixing. I mean it didn't work at all so instead of causing a big stink about it and since it was March I just put the milk where the washing machine is before going to bed so when I woke up it was nice and cold for breakfast.
6. During the last few days at a place I convince others to go out to lunch and/or dinner with me and then at meal time I would spring on them how I was leaving really soon. They felt bad so the would foot the bill.
- I also made sure to order enough to bring home for the next day. |

Cheap people like you should just stay home and not socialize with others. I hate cheap people like you. Unfortunately I have known many here in Seoul. |

| It's one thing to ration food at your own apartment to save money. It's another thing to skimp out on paying the bill when you go out with others. |

and left the apartment with no light bulb for the next teacher? last time i left a job, i made sure everything was fixed and in working order so the new guy wouldnt have to fork out for all that. i thought, how would i feel (from experience) if i arrived after a three day trek and had to pay for and fix crap like that.
and you left the fridge busted?
toliet paper costs about oh-baek won from cu.
im not really this would be made into a sticky unless it was titled ' how to unneccessarily inconvenience or screw over other teachers for your own selfish needs'.
wow, i really wish i had more friends like you. you seem like a really selfish sob.
btw, did you rob a homeless person and get his running shoes off him/her because you dont want to have to buy new ones? |

| Don't feed the troll. No one (in their right mind) would seriously post what the OP has. |

You obviously haven't met too many of these loser foreigners in Korea. I've actually met a few just like the person the OP claims to be. |

That is the job for the school that hires the next person. Review the apartment and see if anything is needed or upgraded. |

In terms of the running shoes no problem. My lucky lady friend has a friend who has connections so I got a nice discount...on two pairs!
It "pays" to be nice and to sweet talk the ladies. |

Yeah well they should and if they didn't with me I would tell them and if they said "bu bu but the teacher before you did did didn't change the bulb". I'd b like "Look, that's history. I'm your teacher now and treat me like a teacher. Change the bulb."
