Korean Job Discussion Forums

What I remember most about Korea were some of the crazy expats.

For instance, in my little teaching company in Taejon, we had a guy who used to drink himself under the table. Then he'd sleep walk. While sleep walking, he would mumble the word lettuce over and over again.

He used to go to the bathroom--a number two--with the door wide open. He would also sit for hour upon hour in the communal kitchen sharpening a butcher knife. It was scary.

We had an ex-biker chick. She absolutely refused to wear panties. No kidding. She would go teach at middle schools in short dresses while wearing no underclothing. If one suggested that underwear was in order, she would fly off the handle.

Then we had another goof ball who would dress up as a Buddhist monk. I guess he spent some time in one of those temples. So there he was--as white as Casper--wandering through various public schools in his Buddhist robe.

Where do you find people like this?

It used to embarass me greatly. Don't get me wrong. I'm nuts myself. But these people were certifiable.

I guess what I'm saying is this: If I work for a company and I'm the normal one, then that usually means there is a problem.

Sounds like you would have fit right in. They were all probably talking about how nuts you were behind your back...

Excellent little stories but someone should bump up the freakiest waegook contest thread for this.

Long live the freaky waygooks!

The world would be a terribly boring place if we were all conformist, middle-class suburban herd creatures --aka, Physical and Primary Education majors...

I think there should be a petition to put a sticky on the freakiest waygook thread.
It is just THAT timeless.
