1. Do you have a potbelly?
2. Do you carry a big handbag that looks like a diaper carrier?
3. Do you fail to keep your hair tidy?
4. Do you tuck your underwear in properly?
5. Do you throw your bag on an empty seat to secure it when you get on a bus or subway?
6. Do you talk loudly on the phone in public?

| In the sauna, should the ajumma let out a fart and people stare at her, she will just leave without saying sorry. Ladies show respect to everyone, even their juniors. They are well aware of etiquettes in public places. They tend to be strict with themselves and generous to others: with ajumma it is the other way round. |
WTF? The article is more twisted-strange than the list. I mean, any Korean saying sorry? Yeah, right. |

Yeah, what's a "pukkah" anyway?
And please don't tell me they looked through the file photos and couldn't find any stock images of ajummas-- there must be some other reason why they resorted to this:

I saw a similar thing on TV a while back.
Another way you can distinguish between an ajumma and an agasshi is how they swipe their T-money card.
Ajumma's leave their T- money card in their handbag and hold the whole handbag up to the card reader.
Agasshi's have their cards in cute plastic holders and take the card out of the holder to swipe them.
So, which one are you?
