RANTING/VENTING MEGATHREAD

If he's still a student and is studying for his first degree (in good time) that's understandable.

I was just thinking of my ex girlfriend's brother. The guy was a complete leech in every sense of the word. His parents bought an apartment for him (yes, bought) in Seoul and paid all his utility bills including his freaking cellphone bills, hoping they would get a lawyer out of him.

What did they get in return? A loser that spent 10 years completing his first degree, who also re-mortgaged the home behind his family's back to fund his gambling and whoring addiction and ended up $40k in arrears...only for daddy to move in and attempt to whip him into shape by getting him a job at a brand new car dealership (foreign luxury brand), and setting him up with one of those shotgun arranged marriages.

Last I heard he has a baby now...that poor woman and child. I can only pray he's buckled up, but from the stories I used to hear, I highly doubt it.

How can you date and plan to marry a grown, jobless man that still receives pocket money from his parents?

What do you think will happen when he finally detaches from his parents? Who will he turn to for mummy and daddy attention?

Disaster waiting to happen IMO.

He's going to dental school so 

And he's been living alone since 8th grade, in America, so he's pretty independent apart from the apartment money thing.

My bf is trying to be a police officer. But he is very dependent on his family at the moment. It doesn't really affect our relationship right now so trying to be supportive while he studies.

There's no toilet paper and no soap, but we have money for the plastic umbrella condoms? O_o;;;

I need more details about the condoms. WHAT?

The things that go over your umbrellas when it's raining and you go inside. I call 'em condoms.

Turn it off and also leave the room lol or counter it with your own tunes

Right, reminds me of Co's who will turn of the fan or AC on a hot day then just leave the office with me still sitting there.

He just came back, sat down, and turned it off.

Do things like this annoy other people or is it just me?

Yes! Especially in a place as crowded as Korea where people always walk into you. These people are making things inconvenient for other pedestrians.

So since this is a thread to rant in....

Something that has been annoying me: the seeming double standard my co-teacher has when it comes to sexualized things.

What I mean by this.... I'll give an example.

So, I like to do this thing where between class breaks I'll play an English music video.  It tends to get the students to actually show up to class on time, and it stops them from being insane in my classroom until class starts.  They're middle school kids, FYI.  My co-teacher liked this so much, that she started asking me to show them a video sometimes at the end of class; mostly if she was leading class that day and ran out of materials.

So she asks me one day at the end of class to pick a video for students to listen to.  Now, I'll typically only play a video I've seen before, so I know that it is appropriate for the students.  Or if they try and pick one and she seems cool with it, I'll let them.  That way, if it is inappropriate, it's on her/them; not me.

Anyway, on the day she asks me to pick one, I pick the Beyonce video "Halo".  Now, as I'm sure anyone knows who has seen that video.... there is hardly anything remotely sexual in it, really.  Yet, my co-teacher threw a fit, because two black people ALMOST kiss each other!  (FYI, for those who haven't seen it.... they don't actually kiss each other in the video).

Normally, I'd chalk this up to an overly conservative Korean person.... but the thing is, I've witness this woman showing students films in class that have violence, drug use, drinking, AND SEX.  The only difference?  These were Korean films with Korean casts.  So somehow it's okay to expose middle school kids to sexuality, so long as it is Korean sexuality.  Right.

...TEACHER DIRTY! DIRTY!

But KPOP music vids are cool right?

Yeah, it's okay if you can see 80% of a butt in a K-pop video. It's okay for them to listen to girls in booty shorts sing "Give it to me! Give it to me! Give it to me! UNNNNH!" but OH NOES A PICTURE OF A CHILD IN A BATHING SUIT LET'S ALL SCREAM AND COVER OUR EYES

I agree. The texture is weird. All noodles should be hot to me.
