On Saturday we went to a Korean restaurant for dinner. Sitting next to us were 2 Korean guys. They were speaking incredibly loud to each other. I tried to ignore them but couldn’t help but frowned whenever their loud conversations interrupted ours.
Armpit Man
Ktula signaled me to look to my right to check out something he found intriguing. With my peripheral, I made out a left arm rested comfortably on the back of the chair, exposing a thick bushy armpit not far from my face. The armpit’s owner didn’t seem to mind most diners in the restaurant were getting a full view of his hairy underarm. According to ktula, the armpit had uneven bumps all over. That didn’t sound too sightly at all. I also noticed his flip-flops were carelessly scattered under the table, not performing their duty as foot wear.
Snot Boy
While the guy on my side was breaking all the rules of what not to do in a restaurant setting, the guy on ktula’s side was equally ill-mannered. He managed to end each conversation with a loud and disgusting sound of him sucking and swallowing his own snots. We were joking the guy was full from eating his own snots, which explained a table full of food the two of them left behind.
I don’t know if this incident broadened my insight or enlighten me in any way. I was simply intrigued. I find people who care so little about personal hygiene or lack common sense behaviors in a public setting are almost comical. I just don’t expect people to behave that way. And when I do see it, it’s as if watching a comedy act.
