Funny Co-Teacher's Comments

From a male co-teacher who was trying to explain a card game to me: "get on your desk and spread them."

oh maan. this one made me giggle.

when i worked with adults, one of my students told me he wanted to service me. i told him "eww no".

the best i've gotten is one day, i was exhausted and i litterally did not pay attention to what i was putting on, threw my hair in a messy ponytail and a plain headband to help control the flyaways...
every single person i met said how sexy/beautiful/pretty i look, being nice or true?

I get this sometimes too, unfortunately though if I straighten my hair on the day before or the day after I do this (throw my hair up and headband) then I get a different response...
:-) that'll teach me to make it obvious when I roll out of bed and when I don't.

i actually got my hair chemically straightened, and after i did it, there really wasn't much response...
even when i dress up really nice, no response.
i think i'm with you haha

After haring received my ARC card my co-teacher at the time decided to take me shopping.So while he is driving me there he leans over:

CoT:Do you want porn?
Me:Uhm,no thanks.
CoT:I think you will need one,life be difficult without porn.
Me:I will be ok without,so no thanks.

Here i am thinking that this dude doesnt mix his words,he just gets to the point.Turns on Monday morning he wanted to take me to a shop to get a phone.
Eish

I ordered 찜닭 (like a chicken stew for those who are unfamiliar) for dinner last night and only finished half. I brought the other half in to enjoy for lunch today.

My CT looked at my bag, asked what was inside, and said, "It seems to me that you are a pig".

Only in Korea!

  I think she has not beet to other countries so far. That's why she responded like that. In Korean, When we usually eat 찜닭 , we don't like to get the leftover. Also,
                We usually eat leftover at home not bring leftover to the company or school. i think that is the cultural difference between your country and Korean.so next i hope you will eat leftover at home not the school or company.

when i worked with adults, one of my students told me he wanted to service me. i told him "eww no".

This seems like a case of a translation gone very wrong. When my parents visited this summer, my cot kept asking "when will I meet them? I want to service them.". Ummm... I think they get by just fine on their own, but thanks for the offer.

Good for you having a nice CT

koradian:  good for you for not wasting the leftovers!  as my mum would say "there are a lot of starving people in this world."
regardless of the cultural norm it is better to eat food than waste it. 

i always bring leftovers for lunch.  in fact, i cook more dinner than i need specifically so that i will have leftovers for lunch the next day.  my coworkers always look in my lunch kit and ask what i am eating.  i show them.  we get on with our day.  no biggie.  :)

This is halarious...   My students  used to call me winnie the poo...  I think because of my belly  :D

While I agree with not wasting leftovers, please be aware that we don't all have the same cultural norms (hence, why they are called cultural norms).  In some cultures the norm was/is to to have excess food as a sign of wealth and fnancial prosperity.  I'd really like to write more but this thread really isn't the forum for such a discusion.  It was just the flippant way you said "regardless of the cultural norm" and then went ahead to inject your own cultural norm as true for all.

My husband regularly got told he was going to hell by his coteacher in his first year. Fortunately he's not working with her anymore  :)

Eish- I've missed that word :) The other day my CT called the iPhone an "iPond." Lol.

The yesterday, I was told that we were eating "Kitchen Soup" for lunch. She meant Chicken.

Last week, after helping me with my bank information, another danced around and laughed, "I know your PIN and your ID number, I'm stealing your identityyyyyyy!!"

I hope she was just kidding!! ;)

There should be a like button on here that's hilarious!

Just had the re-signing talk with one of my co-teachers. I mentioned how, learning from experience in Korea, I always expect the worst. So, I wouldn't be surprised if at the last minute my school 'forgot' to tell me they won't be re-signing me or something... you know what I mean.

So, her reply was, "Don't worry! If you don't commit a crime you can re-sign!"

I had a good laugh over this one!

My mentor teacher Steven is.... special.

I got a contagious eye infection
and since he never picks up his phone i went to school to notify him about my condition.
He got very concerned and then went and consulted my contract about sick days and had an extremely long discussion with the vice principal.
afterwards, he was telling me about all these things like obtaining a doctor's note, deducting my pay, reimbursement of medical fees, how i need to take time off b/c i might give it to the kids etc. and that they have to deduct my pay because he can't come up w/a way for me to make-up my hours *cough* incompetent *cough*

so i ask

"what do i do about classes today?"
steven: um... we can't do anything about it so continue w/classes as usual
 :o what?
steven: uh.. yeah. just try not to touch any of them. it should be fine 

CoT: What is the name of the candy on the stick
 Me: Sucker
CoT: wow,.. blushes,,,, no that is dirty... You know what I mean ( acts out what you are thinking)
ME: Wow,  ok, How about we say lollipop then?

  why are they deducting from your pay if you have sick days?

I've got a real doozy:

Co-teacher: Do you have any "carrier" (this is what I heard from her pronunciation) teaching?
Me: "Carrier"? What's that? [confused]
Co-teacher: Do you have any "carrier" teaching before?
Me: Oh, "career"? Do you mean "career"?
Co-teacher: [nods] Yeah, in "Korea" or any other country...
Me: Nonono...I'm not talking about the country "Korea" -- the word you said before is pronounced "ca-reer," not "car-ri-er"...

Ay yi yi...haha.

KT: Aaaaahhhh, Mr. James, nice to see you again!!!!!
Me: Who's James?!
KT: You not James?! Ah, James, Harry, Daniel, Peter all sound same to me. Can I say Mr. James, Mr. James???
Me: Sure.
