Rockstarism #287 – What My Friends Say About Their Home Countries

#287

Another day with Rockstar logic… 

Kings: Would you like to visit Japan or Korea someday?

Rockstar: It’ll have to be Japan. You can’t take taxis in Korea.

Me: Pardon?

Rockstar: (Korean friend) said he went home and the taxi driver was so crazy he vomited. Now he doesn’t want to go home anymore. 

Me: He…. doesn’t think taxi drivers in Hong Kong drive like that?

Rockstar: Maybe he doesn’t take taxis in Hong Kong. 

Me: And I suppose you don’t have that many Japanese friends and so you actually didn’t hear anything negative about Japan?

Rockstar: Yeah. So we can go there.

Me: !! Just because you have more Korean friends and therefore hear more complaints about Korea – it doesn’t work that way.

Rockstar: Oh, really? Huh…

(Also, my friend would explain there are actually different “grades” of taxi qualities in Korea…)

Another time….

Rockstar: (Friend) gets too much candy when he goes home to India. Don’t go to India.

Me: (?!) So now it’s India’s fault?

Rockstar: No, that was his grandparents’ fault. He said his grandparents feed him too much candy.

Me: Yeah Grandparents often do things like that… but he told you it was his “grandparents fault”???

Rockstar: Yeah! He said “I ate too much candy in India because my grandparents gave me too much candy.” 

Me: Way to pass the buck, how about “No thank you, I’ve had enough”?

Rockstar: I don’t think he thought he had enough til he got a bit sick. 

Me: He actually got sick?? How much did he eat?! And do you think the “too much candy” has to do with being in India or because someone gave him too much and he didn’t say when he’d had enough?

Rockstar: <confidently> India. Being in India. 

Me: What? WHY??

Rockstar: Because his grandparents only have that much candy when they are in India. <shrugs> They don’t keep the candy in the house in Hong Kong…
