maybe its just the humidity but i feel like venting.. my pet hates are..
1) Mothers of preschool kids. Real pain.
2) paperwork. Officialdom, beaurocracy. Anything to do with official paperwork i hate. pieces of paper that you have to get in order to do something. And to get hold of this piece of paper you have to qeue for hours in the sun and complete various inane and never ending tasks that in reality are meaningless. |

I had my fair share of run-ins with the former my first year here, but fortunately I worked with an owner who didn't take any flack from them and would send the kids packing if the mothers made too much of a stink.
Some people in Korea would consider this commercial suicide, i.e. p-off the mother hen, who then spreads the bad word to her friends, etc. This had the opposite effect. The mothers responded to his machismo better than him bending over to fulfill their every whim.
I'm assuming this is a rare case, though... |

| Chewing gum/bubble gum. It's icky and the way the people pop their gum here makes me wish that they'd accidentially choke on it. |

| I hate it when I come back to my apartment and find myself disgusted with the squalor I live in, but once again I am to lazy to be bothered with it. |

Holy crap! We are separated at birth. And I always begin to do something about it, but I quit after about two hours and the crap re-accumulates a few weeks later.

Amen to that, too many palli-palli types who magically convert to idle dawdlers the moment they set foot on the sidewalk.
and..lesson plans!! Why oh why do we have to do these things? Its already all in the book. i don't need to write down in detail how, why, and when I will drill phrasal verbs. Teaching comes natural to me, I don't need to plan it all anymore.Stop torturing me! |
