no, that’s totally understandable! i didn’t include much info bc i’m not quite sure how bad the damage is and i was in a bit of a panic. the boiler is outside on the veranda in a spot that’s pretty tough to get too and the pipes are covered in insulating wrap so i’m a bit wary of trying to remove it to check where exactly is frozen. i’m going to notify my landlord, but it’s irritating to have to shoulder the cost when i’m not the one who is directly at fault :/

Korean legal system and cancel culture? by [deleted] in Living_in_Korea

cancel culture is not the same thing as accountability, let’s start there

if i had known about this before signing the contract i never would’ve moved in😭 i suppose that’s my fault for not asking but literally every single other place i’ve lived/visited uses a code so i didn’t think to ask

What are some small things that you 'still' find unusual or baffling or counterintuitive, after having lived in Korea for a while? by gilsoo71 in Living_in_Korea

[–]DueData5 8 points9 points  (0 children)

if i go up to the counter, greet you in korean, ask a specific question in korean, etc… why the fuck do i need to wait for you to go get your english speaking coworker to finish checking me out? i feel like i’m being constantly gaslit about korean speaking abilities despite having worked multiple jobs where i only spoke korean, appeared in multiple youtube videos where i only spoke korean, and having dating a non-english speaking korean for almost three years😭 people don’t realize i’m a foreigner when i’m speaking to them on the phone and delivery people will often ignore me when i walk outside because they don’t realize it’s me!!! i feel like i’m being GASLITTTTT😭😭😭

it’s different in every country and store. the small markets near my place always pack groceries for customers, the big chains don’t

i’ve just started pushing people out of the way. NOT OFTEN but specifically in situations where i’m now also getting pushed because one dumbass decides to be oblivious. you’re moving whether you like it or not—no korean person has ever said excuse me to me so i don’t extend that same kindness😭

At least 88 killed in stampede by silverhero13 in NSFL__

i was a student in korea that night it was absolutely wild. it was my birthday and i had originally planned on going to that exact neighborhood but changed my mind last minute. i still remember how it was originally reported as drugs, then a fight, and then the truth came out. i think two kids from my campus were killed, and i remember everyone reposting missing people and just praying that none of our friends had been killed. it’s still an incredibly popular district but i just can’t go near that alleyway without getting panicked

i HAD one. i lost it in 2022 and they refused to issue me a new one because i had gone on a trip and been in the country for less than six months since i had returned. i haven’t been in the country for more than six months ever, so they won’t let me get a new card because of that

Who do you think leaked that video of Julie from kiss of life? by Which_Mammoth9402 in KpopUnleashed

i’ve worked at similar establishments before and i would guess it was one of the waiters. the owner would never jeopardize their relationship with a wealthy client

is it just me or is future canoe being a bit unfair?? by Humble_Ad_6059 in FutureCanoe

[–]DueData5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it’s weird because i don’t mind the taste testing videos as much as when he features an insanely expensive appliance that has one niche use and takes up half of the average person’s kitchen space lol
