It's not a matter of wearing gloves. It's that there's never any hand soap or hot water in the toilet, which is filthy, and even if there were, hand washing isn't much of a thing here anyway. I've said I'm rarely squeamish. I've eaten all this stuff. Not gotten sick. That doesn't make their cooking practices sanitary or hygienic. omg I'm becoming one of you. OK, over n out.
seen too many seollongtang cooks drop glass noodles in my soup by hand.

"I'm freaked out to share plates with my coworkers, so I'll skip the company dinner to go out for pizza and wings and a basket of fries with my friends and we'll get drunk and cheers each other and then try and hook up with a random stranger."You had a go at someone recently for grouping all Koreans together and you're doing the exact same thing here. How do you know she would do this? Or do you just think all foreigners do this?

Where did I lump all foreigners together?
Wait, you're the guy who thinks Lolita is a work of erotic. fiction, right? What are you doing around children in the first place?
Just leave him be watching a baseball game on his phone in a restaurant with all his mates gathered around it, instead of, like, you know, talking to each other like what normal people do.
Again, where does it say "foreigners" or "all foreigners"? It talks about a specific kind of person- The kind who freaks out about this stuff and then goes and does something that completely contradicts all of their concerns. Nowhere did I attribute this to all foreigners. Most people here aren't freaked out to share a plate with their coworkers. Well, aside from their principal hugging them while talking to their face with soju and kimchi breath, but that's something else entirely.
Nothing says abnormal about a group of guys watching sports while eating and drinking. Also, you do realize it's baseball, right? The sport where you have plenty of time in between pitches to talk about things and breaks in between innings. You can also watch and talk at the same time. That's sort of how baseball works when it's on in countless barbershops and garages across America. There's a ballgame on and you're also getting your haircut. OMG, how can that be???
What a rather strange rebuttal that seems to have conveniently missed the words 'on his phone'. Sports? Drinking? Eating? Yes, of course, great fun. Huddled around a small phone? You do realise that barbershops would have a tv? You do realise that people would also watch sports in their garage (obviously an American thing) on a tv? And as for explaining baseball as well? Priceless...
Just saw this: "I work for an after school company and the school I work at (not my company) informed me at the end of the day today that they are closing for the rest of the month due to the coronavirus. So, I won't be working for the next 4 weeks. That's a long time to not get paid for me."
Had a really bad experience at a favorite local cafe last night, and now I'm feeling bummed about never going there again. The quality of their coffee was starting to go to shit anyway, but I really liked their pastries.
Self hating Americans are the worst "OMG, aren't we, like, so ignorant?" UGH
Are they really self-hating or just stupid?
