He'll never ever use the word "girlfriend" or "boyfriend" for some reason. I don't know if he's ashamed of being straight or gay. Another one of his whacky (annoying) affectations I suppose.

Have you ever been out with a bunch of foreigners not necessarily mates and you're all having a bit of banter and then you end up with a couple or trio of saffers who just switch to Afrikans and have a conversation among themselves while you stand there like a wet lettuce? I never had the urge to switch a conversation to French or Korean when I meet a Canadian or English/Korean speaking person when everyone in the room is speaking English. Why do they/you do it?

Why do they/you do it?I have tons of friends and my reaction is...well I don't have a reaction because I grew up in a very multicultural city and am used to being around people who don't speak English and will speak a different language.Might as well complain about a bunch of Americans being together and suddenly talking about College Football.
They're all English teachers Tino. Have you not got your reading glasses on today?You normally put up a better defence than that but you've embarrassed yourself here.

I don't know why your friends speaking a different language makes you uncomfortable and insecure.
I don't think there's anything that makes me as instantly angry than when someone pushes past and their bag or something pulls on my headphone cable. That feeling when your entire head suddenly gets yanked down is so irritating.

HOW OLD ARE YOU? and a footnote for anybody that gives a sht...the term "based" got popular because of a rapper named LIL B. people referred to him as "The Based God". it was just a nonsense nickname. it was KINDA cool and funny like 5 years ago. if you have free time....listen to ANY of his songs or ANY of his videos and check him out (spoiler - he's weird and random. cowboy tries to act and talk like him and it's CORNY) 3) when you go out to lunch or dinner with your gf, friends, or colleagues, do you sreeeeeeeeeeeeeeech like you do on here when somebody orders a dessert or something sweet? your gf has to find that HILARIOUS i bet.not based. who writes a 3 point essay (NUMBERED) about why someone else annoys them on the internet? cowboy is one of the lesser annoying posters. it's people who throw shitfits about silly things like using the word based that annoy me more.

I'm so sick of the miserable people on here who constantly just make topics like "Korea is ______" or "Koreans d _____ don't you hate it?"It's just unending negativity. And most of it is stupid stuff that might be worth making an offhand mention of, but certainly not a topic that sticks around for a few days. Like, venting is fine. It's necessary. But when it becomes this habitual, pathological need to have a giant negativity circlejerk all the time, there's something wrong.

For those of you ripping on basedcowboy, you guys sound like a bunch of high schoolers.

Living in a foreign country with a different culture is a rewarding, but frustrating experience. To me, Waygook.org is a tool, nothing more. It's something I use when I'm feeling bored frustrated, as getting my frustrations out into words is quite therapeutic. When I'm happy, I usually don't post, I enjoy my happiness in the real world. More often than not, this site will see me when I'm at my worst. That doesn't mean I'm miserable.Oh. I'm sorry. I wasn't using 'miserable' in the sense of someone being unhappy. I was using it in the sense of describing something small, meager or inadequate.

we're both teaching Engilsh in Korea so miss me with all your old man bullsht like we should automatically respect or listen to anything you say.
It makes me neither of those things I just think it's incredibly rude and ignorant. When you can't defend you deflect. Shāh māt.
And science backs this up- venting just breeds more anger and frustration.

I also think it's rude and arrogant to expect other people to speak in a language that satisfies me.There's a simple rule for this. When in a group of mixed language speakers you all try to speak in the language that excludes the least people from the conversation.
Does the ranting and the raving and the hating make your life any better? Has it helped you? Judging by how miserable a lot of the haters come across as, it hasn't. And science backs this up- venting just breeds more anger and frustration.
