Ugh, thanks you guys. It just really scared / annoyed me because he got so mad because I dared to look at him. He kept yelling at me to look away and what did he do wrong and other stupid crap. Honestly, I only even looked at him that one time because I was shocked and annoyed just to see who the hell it was but I wasn't expecting that reaction.

It's a very common behavior from a certain type of individual (and from scammers, for that matter), I saw a lot of it while interning.Others tend to go the reverse and try to be extremely low-key about everything, to a point that they're overly calm (and so don't respond to questions and such in ways that most people would).

That's kinda what I was thinking. What sort of things does someone living in Korea need to know about that wouldn't be covered in those sub-forums? Is the answer to questions like "What do I do with my recyclables" not the same for non-teachers? Is it really just an "I want to associate with people who aren't teachers" thing?

It's not like most people I know involved in business in this area would want to post on a teacher forum. Some people (like me) do, but you just get standard "teacher type" responses (as just happened).I am correct that it would benefit this site to just create a non-teacher forum (the customer is always right), people do not need to understand why...just do it.
I have to finish up making some worksheets for stories from this book, but the back and forth eye motion required to read, then write questions in the separate word processor window triggers my nauseaonly 15 stories down, 13 to go

I probably would have hurt my eyes if I had tried to roll them any farther back when I worked retail.
example: I walk into Burger King and ask for a Big Mac. I am told that they can't do that, but would gladly sell me a Whopper. If I insist on a Big Mac, I will be asked to leave.

I probably would have hurt my eyes if I had tried to roll them any farther back when I worked retail. I always thought that that statement was truncated. The rest of it is "...but the supplier chooses who is considered a customer."The negotiations about what the proactive customer wants allow the supplier to determine this.example: I walk into Burger King and ask for a Big Mac. I am told that they can't do that, but would gladly sell me a Whopper. If I insist on a Big Mac, I will be asked to leave.
