What did you do with your Z today

LunaZ · 12-10-2011, 06:26 PM

Don't get me started on Asians and their crappy driving.
Or how I think we should go back to calling Asians "Oriental" since what we actually mean is "from the region known as the Orient" and not the whole continent east of the Ural Mountains.

I used my seat heaters today.

i thought you wrote i used my seat HATERS today. lol

yah, back 15yrs ago or so i didnt know calling '3rd world' people orientals was offensive.

i was a oriental, i thought, but no, they're asians...hell, im asian too they say. so now im stereotyped with the rest of the losers. <- this is a joke (to all wimps).

I actually think I actually know why so many are terrible drivers, at least the ones who aren't born here. From observing fellow Asian drivers who piss me off, I have discerned that nothing outside of their vehicle exists to them so they have no awareness of other people's speeds or if they will be impeding that person's way, does that person have enough space to turn, etc. They sort of drive like how old people drive in general.

brucelidat · 12-10-2011, 06:40 PM

and as usual, all such inabilities are amplified if they are women and amplified moreso if they are older...

kenchan · 12-10-2011, 06:44 PM

All I know is I am shamed and embarrassed to be "Asian" every time I encounter one of the above mentioned drivers.

kenchan · 12-10-2011, 06:47 PM

just wanted to note LunaZ is not asian at all.

brucelidat · 12-10-2011, 07:03 PM

Asian markets are particularly bad because they're overcrowded and all the spots are extra compact

happytheman · 12-10-2011, 07:13 PM

A lot of the Asian markets I've been to have those tiny shopping carts because of the narrow aisles.

kenchan · 12-10-2011, 07:51 PM

Yes, Mr. Santa is very judgmental -- what with that whole good/bad paradigm he is stuck in. There is no grey area with Santa.
