Here are some annoying ones, "gaijin da", "I'm an English Teacher", "Oh I have that too..", "Dude", "Whatever", "You're the best",

Yes action and results should be shown first before an award is presented. I hoping to see good results and a total reduction of nuclear arms. Everyone, especially the leaders of the world should visit Hiroshima.

Obviously things have not improved since Nova went down and of course there are still plenty of bad apples in the barrel. Eikaiwa teachers should be re-titled as Genki Clowns because they're not real teachers. I've worked with so many uneducated and unprofessional eikaiwa monkeys that I've lost count. It's embarrassing...

From my experience, I'm working with Eikaiwa teachers who are very lazy knuckleheads and it's embarrassing to me and the industry. So yes there are still bad apples in that companies still hire any person who appears to speak English with no qualifications...

Visually it can be a bit odd and disgusting to look at but it's entirely the individual's choice. If the younger partner wants to make love ans have sex with an older more wrinkly parent-like person then so be it.

I'm gonna think twice the next time a policeman tries to shake my hand. I feel sorry for the female victims who run to the cops for assistance.

I don't think countries appreciate what the US is doing for them. Long live the US-Japan friendship...

I have not seen a single one so far this hot and humid summer because every night I pour a small amount of kitchen bleach down the bathroom drain, that's how they get in - through the wet and moist drain pipes. I'm on the 4th floor so I guess that's how they can come in. If I do see one, I'll use the chemical spray to instantly kill it.

The US needs all the support it can get to fight for the freedom of everyone in Iraq and all over over the world. Thanks for your hard work in dangerous Iraq.

Crazy young parents have no sense and care at all. Why did they have a baby in the first place? Don't bring a kid into this world unless you are going to raise it with tender loving care, hugs, smiles, laughs and respect. They must have been raised by inhumane creatures. They should be locked up and forced to think about their stupidity.

Go to the shopping malls or Yamada denki which usually has the aircon cranked up so they can attract shoppers. Eat watermelon and drink cool water. Put ice on your body. It's all common sense.

StephenEFY, I do take back that monkey comment, as I did genuinely care for the students and their progress and motivation... somehow the other teachers I worked with didn't. But I did honestly work with knuckleheads and idiotic teachers or should I say 'average English speakers' because they had no patience nor passion to teach at all.

I’ve worked with teachers are complete nutcases who wouldn’t be fit to workback home. I’ve seen too many unprofessional, immature, tardy, and whiny teachers. Seriously the eikaiwa industry needs to take a serious look at who they hire. I truly feel sorry for the Japanese students who like to waste their money on these foolish clowns.
Seriously, you lose brain cells if you do this degrading job, like a monkey on a leash performing to gullible customers. You get no pay raises, and no benefits that all the other full-time Japanese workers get. That’s the truth and fact of Eikaiwa and the English teaching industry in Japan. I heard they pay more in the UK.
