seriously korea. what’s up with:
the fact the phone etiquette here requires that when you call someone, you should always ask if its a convenient time to speak.
BUT………..
you are calling someone you don’t know very well. and you call the FOUR times in a row within the span of FIVE minutes. so i FINALLY pick up the fourth time and you ask if its a convenient time.
WTF. of course its not a convenient time. you just called four times and i didn’t pick up until the 4th time. if it was convenient, wouldn’t i have picked up the first time? when someone calls that many times, of course i’m gonna figure its an emergency and pick up eventually. and when its not an emergency… i’m really fuckin annoyed.
ok korea. the important etiquette you should pick up is not “is it a convenient time to speak” but rather ” don’t fuckin call 4 times in a row about something that isn’t a emergency to someone you don’t know very well. just call them once, maybe twice and then WAIT for them to call you back.”
ok. i am done ranting now.
love, s
