When you first arrived on these boards you were saying how you could get an awesome job with great pay and that posters here were being unduly negative. What happened? Did Taiwan administer a reality brick to the side of your head?

39. Wearing pantyhose under denim shorts.

[Skater_bum]

40. Polluter scooters
41. Changing their oil down the sewer (saw this yesterday )
42. Using laws to blackmail people (Just give me 200,000 we can forget this happened)

[Taiwan_Luthiers]

43. Fishing in waters where there are signs saying “No fishing” (in non-protected area, but the water is so dirty the fish is probably dirtier on the inside)
44. Leaving household garbages on the street, or in city trash bins (which is why public trash cans are so hard to find). I’ve heard you can get a reward if you can catch someone in the act and turning it in…

45. Drinking and driving like in any other country. Sure, It’s enforced where you come from which is why no-one does it right.
46. Reacting to strangers based on their race instead of their nationality. (like we all do)
47. Not declaring everything they have bought overseas when they return to Taiwan …like we all do.
    And the point of this is…to show us how we all break certain laws but only complain about those we don’t want other to break or am I missing something.

Is this illegal?

46-b. Not having a little fun with a thread someone else has started and going off on your own self-rightious diatribe.

48. Scooter shops sticking a hose, connected to nothing, into the muffler of a scooter blowing black smoke, taking the picture for the inspection, while the actual hose is connected to one of their new scooters. Seen it dozens of times and it irritates me no less with each sighting.

49: Insulting others in public.

50. Declaring produce is organic, when it’s not really that organic.

[Taiwan_Luthiers]

51. Landlords not allowing tenants to register the rented place as a household, or declare the rent on their tax form because the landlord isn’t paying property taxes.

52. Filling of stairwells with junk.

39. Wearing pantyhose under denim shorts.

yeah…this one really bothers me also. Especially the plain black ones.

+1…

52. Filling of stairwells with junk.

53. Keeping the fire escape doors open for better ventilation (disastrous if a fire breaks out)
54. Using power sockets of stairwells (instead of those at home) for charging electric bikes
55. Stealing metal and electric parts of public installations (like man-hole covers, screws on bridges, etc.)
56. Not installing metal and electric parts according to specification during construction in the first place
57. Stealing of produce from farmers’ field along country roads (this is actually a big problem in Hungary as well)
58. Not sure whether this is illegal or not but it makes me angry: Producers reducing the content of cookie boxes (or other products) over time without reducing the size of the boxes or the price.
59. Shops using the pavement for storing or selling goods or as working place.

[adikarmika]

60. How about the form of child abuse that passes as elementary and JHS education in this country.

[BigJohn]

60. Tax evasion through “under the table” payments.(Common in many countries.)

Crikey, what an uplifting and encouraging little thread this is. Surfing at the wrong time? Wait, just wait, and I will pass you that straw you are grasping for. There ya go.

How about you write a list of 100 laws you have broken, or 100 laws people break in your home country? How about a list of 100 reasons why you should be grateful to live in Taiwan?

I just don’t get the point of walking about and criticising everything around you. Why don’t you do something to improve your quality of life, instead of trying to collect other negative nellies to be in your gang?

Seriously, surfing at the wrong time? Swimming in a prohibited place? Dumping trash? You’ll get splinters scraping about in the bottom of a barrel like that.

CCCCCCCCCCC - COMBO BREAKER!!!

I really don’t understand the point you’re trying to get through to us all here. The way I see it is:
a) OP poses a question
b) posters answer

I do not see any moral dilemma in doing so, nor do I see a problem in pointing out that hiring an ESL teacher without permit is illegal while being one such teacher (or having been in the past). In my book, “illegal” and “immoral” (or “unethical”) are different words with different meaning.

You aren’t reading hard enough. Try again. I’m not trying to make a point to you at all. I am asking Lili why her attitude has shifted. Have another try.

62. Overloading vehicles with people and/or goods (and I did exactly that just an hour ago [just slighly]; I would not have done it in my home country, cause I am sure I would have run into a cop who would not just have given me a ticket but also prevented me from going on, asking me to find another solution for taking my stuff back home)
