WTF.?

In Korea this summer, I encountered a lot of “interesting, weird, wtf?” people out there. In means of w.t.f,,,,,I literally mean w.t.f. You’ll probably say “wtf” while reading my story, at the end of my story and even after the story is over. You’ll be pondering about this moment of my life through your sleep.…. or maybe not.


So, this is how my wonderful “wtf” story began. One charming charismatic evening, my cousins and I decided to go out for shopping since we were bored out of our minds. Well, not technically, because I actually had to beg them to take me out. Back to the story! It was on a Friday night, so we decided to take the subway instead of taking the car.

The compartments were packed with so many people, that we actually had to skip two consecutive trains that were coming in and out. Finally, when it seemed a bit spacious, the 3 of us made a hurry entrance to the far end corner of the compartment. My 2 cousins were speaking in English about their jobs while I was on the phone with my friend from the academy.

Then out of nowhere, this drunken man comes up to me and asks if he could use my cell phone. I’M ON THE PHONE HERE! IN MIDDLE OF A CONVERSATION! Besides, I really REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY DIDN’T want to let him use my cell phone so I started to speak to my friend on the other line in English, telling her not to hang up because there was a drunken man besides me, asking to use my cell phone.

I guess I talked with my friend for good 10 minutes and when decided to hang up, I glanced besides me and saw the man glaring at me. Yea, it was CREEPY ASS…….so my friend already hanged up on me and I was on my own, trying to think of ways to save my cell phone, when all of a sudden, he starts yelling at me. YEA. WTF?!?!?!??!!??!?!?!?! WHAT DID I DO TO YOU??, YOU DOUCHBAG?!?!??!

I couldn’t pretend to actually remember the exact words that this guy said, but it was something like how I degraded his personal moral him by speaking in English and how I should speak Korean because I’m Korean.…………….yea; W.T.F.

So when our destination finally arrived, I got off the train and yelled at him when the door was closing on his face. “If your God damn jealous; LEARN HOW TO SPEAK ENGLISH YOU BASTARD!!!!” He gave me that puzzled look and I poked my tongue out to meet his expression. Although, I fulfilled my satisfaction at that moment, my life was hanging by a thread that second because the door swung open. And that’s when I decided to scream and run, “WTF?!?!??!!”
