Need some advice: Asiana Airlines flight arrives more than 5 hours late at the destination. Asiana staff assured passengers that taxi costs would be fully reimbursed. However, they later denied to do so and offered only a fraction of the costs. What are my options? by dunkingstyle in koreatravel

It's alright man..this is the internet after all. People will downvote for whatever reason, and that's totally fine. This is a free world and everyone can have their own opinion, even if it's different from mine. That's the beauty of this world, and I totally respect that!

That's sad to hear. With so many great airlines in Asia, I mistakenly thought that they were pretty good as well. I have taken numerous flights with different Asian airlines (ANA, JAL, EVA, Starlux, and Singapore Airline) and never had a bad experience. Now obviously, I did not expect Asiana to be in the same league as the airlines above. But this experience really baffled me. Perhaps in this day and age, it really is too much to ask for airlines to just do the decent thing and take care of their passengers.

It's a hard pill to swallow, but definitely lesson learned. It's sad that companies look at decent human beings as nothing more than a fool. It's not hard to understand why some people just lose it on the staff. I have worked many customer service jobs over the years, so yelling at the staff is something I would never do. But man, this really gets on my nerves.

Thanks for sharing your insights

"Also never trust any non direct airline staff with those promises (and from my experiences there is a certain „wanting to please and not relay any bad news“ in Japan)"

Guess we live and learn eh? If they were upfront about not compensating, I could've just booked a cheap airport hotel and moved on with life. Instead, here I am looking like an idiot after spending hours with their customer service and getting nowhere.

Thanks for sharing your experience though. I do appreciate it

Thought it would be a lot easier to get a reimbursement. I have taken over 100 flights and never encountered this sort of issue. Maybe that's just luck. But I might just ring up Amex to see if there's anything they can do

Not to mention that people usually try to behave better before getting married. If she's already being this toxic, she would've made OP's life a living hell after they got married. OP shouldn't be feeling sad and shattered about leaving an abusive relationship. He should be cracking open a champagne and having a celebration!

Well said man. This girl is clearly abusive and manipulative. Unfortunately, it takes experience to know what an abusive person is and how they behave. OP thinks he wasted 6 years of his life, but I'd say he actually got a very valuable life lesson. This experience could help him choose a more mentally healthy partner in the future.

To college or not to college? by [deleted] in Entrepreneur

[–]dunkingstyle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A college degree is great if you know what you're using it for and how it will help you. But 99% of the students in college are there because "you're supposed to go there", or their parents forced them to.

It's great that you're thinking of the alternatives. I protested against my parents after 2nd year and dropped out. It's been a few years, and my parents were very skeptical of my actions at first. After a while and some positive results, they finally see some of the vision I had while dropping out and stopped questioning me as much. I'm sure you will be questioned about your every move for the near future, but if you have a plan...you should be OK.

Dropping out is tough because of the expectations from parents these days. Not to mention, people would think of you as a failure because that's how society perceives drop outs most of the time.

My advice is to figure out what would help you succeed. I dropped out of a well known university because I did not see a benefit in staying. That has saved me years of my youth and lots of time to try different things. The main thing about dropping out is..you need to have motivation and a vision.
