Mrs is grumpy. (That's my moan. It's never nice to have a grumpy woman moping around).
After a morning of her getting frustrated with Thai banks and their silly rules, she (and all government teachers) has just been ordered by the District Ed officer to attend the local coronation ceremonies on Monday.
I can't fault her line, "By ordering people to respect someone he's just making more people disrespect someone".

Do these uppity power-hungry local officials realise that "Someone" may not rquire everyone to pay homage and that he may even be offended if he knew...and that the local Hitler will get no kudos from anybody, just a lot of resentment from those lower down.
