Is touching a pregnant woman's belly wrong?남자가 임산부 배 만지는거 아니야?

No, right?아니야?

A coworker touched it first, so I did too.여자직원이 만져보길래 나도 따라 만졌거든

The mood turned cold...근데 분위기가 싸해져서...

Wasn't being weird — feels unfair.나 이상한 의도로 만진게 아닌데 억울하네 --

Not my problem lol.억울한건 니사정이고 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Okay with a guy rubbing your wife's belly?니 결혼햇는데 와이프 배 남자가 쓰다듬으면 좋냐?

You're grade 9, right?너 9급이지?

Grade 9 wouldn't do this.9급이라고 저러지 않아요

More like grade 14, 15.14급 15급 정도 되는듯

Numbers didn't deserve this.숫자는 뭔죄야

Total write-off.폐급입니다

💡 Why does his rank matter?
Civil-service ranks run only from grade 9 (entry) to grade 1 (top) — 'grade 14' means below rock bottom.vs. the US: like demoting a rookie past beat-cop into a nonexistent rank.Klore note

Get some self-awareness lol.ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 생각좀 하고 살아라

I'm losing it.미치겠네 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

One touch makes it fine for everyone? Mood went cold.한명이 만졌으면 다 허용 되는거야? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 분위기 싸해지고

Lucky it ended there — just apologize, blame new-baby excitement.끝난게 다행이다. 정식으로 사과하고 그냥 새 생명이 신기해서

Say you didn't realize.나도모르고 그랬다고 해라

Can't even apologize, apparently.사과하면 안된다는데

Apologizing means admitting guilt, they say.ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 사과하면 죄인정하는거라 이딴이유로

So THAT'S why there are so many scumbags who never apologize??lol사과안하는 ㅂㄹㅈ들 개많아진거였음??ㅋㅋ
