It never fails to blow my mind whenever I come across a student who forgets that I'm an adult with life experiences beyond their own, and that I'm more educated than they are because they're still in ****** middle school. The arrogance of some kids at this age is beyond just a phase, I swear to gawd. Makes for some really hilarious moments whenever I beat them at their own games, though. xD
Go on................. ......... I smell a juicy anecdote.

i must have accidentally left a fan on low setting after i left the classroom last night. there was just a 4 teacher meeting with the principal and the korean teacher who i teach with in my after school program to find out what happened. now i am, apparently, in "big trouble". err sorry guys, i'll pay the 50won electricity fee if that's what the problem is
Sooooo..................... this couldn't wait until the next morning when we all came in to work again? hahaha I admit I should have turned it off, fair play, but this is the farthest thing from texting someone outside work hours.

do these people have nothing more important to get bothered by?
Also held the door open for a early 30s looking woman yday in Olive Young and she basically scowled at me for having the audacity to do such a thing so I said out loud in English 'you're welcome'. Not sure why these things bother me so much, who knows.
Yeah Korean door etiquette is f*cking shocking, slam the doors on the people behind for no apparent reason. How hard is it to hold it open as you walk through? Definitely with you on this one Fritz

If you spend enough time with Koreans, you realise that it is exactly how they speak to each other about the smallest non-events. To me, it is really abrasive and I'd never imagine picking up someone on something like that, but then again that's the culture. A couple of Christmases ago, on Christmas Eve in my sister's house, someone left a gap in the snake house. So it escaped into the living room. After fifteen minutes we found it, without anyone being bollocked. Could you imagine how that would go down in a Korean house?
