Finally! After nearly 10 years - I can have a party - NOW FINALLY the missus understands! THE PENNY HAS DROPPED!
Nearly every single job we have had done here, nearly every "so called" worker over the past 10 years has in one way or another managed to rip off/steal/swindle a little because they know the wife has a farang husband.
In many cases, it is a little bit. And to be honest, I generally turn a blind eye - the stealing of a beer a few cigs, whatever. (I know, they are pretty poor)
However, it escalated (in the wifes eyes when they robbed her of some empty paint containers - the plastic 5 gallon things - see they can use these)
Then about 50 metres of highly priced copper cable went astray after the lightening rods were fitted - I said nothing as it was a pretty fair price for the deal.
But, cynical as I am, over the years I have seen so called "trusted" "friends" eye things up and help themselves - and when I complained - I was a tight arse or I "didn't see who took it"
For the past three years she has held her faith in this slimy bastard from the next village, he has been given some simple tasks to do - which he inevitably fails to complete - yet still for whatever reason (Kreng Jai I think) gets paid. This sems to be solely down to the fact that in the past I have been paying him.
Detested the RAT of a man the first time I set eyes on him - and I think the feeling was mutual!
Despite my protestations and misgivings - my wife always hired this old twat and his wife first.
What the farang believed/thought was secondary - he was an old man that could trusted!
Well, the fucker has shown his true colours this week - now she realises she has been ripped off for work not done, money spent on insecticide (pocketed) money spent on fertilizer (pocketed) money spent on labour (pocketed)!
It's like music to my ears!
The really sad thing is - she is prepared to go along with these cnuts until the rice is harvested, and then look for someone new!!!!
Unbelievable! By the time they come to harvest the rice the bastards will have cleaned her out!
Put up with a thief for another half year just to prevent "Rocking The Boat"
Her own son needs a job, and I told her to let him take care of the rice - but they would rather keep these fleecing shits fleecing them than lose face! I already told her she can "squirm" out by using the lads work situation - but she still thinks she will lose face! Lose face to thieves!!!
What the hell is wrong with calling a spade a spade and a thief a thief? - no wonder they get walked over!
Not wanting to be a "Told You So!" but for 10 years they ignored every piece of advice I gave them, and today "TOLD YOU SO! TOLD YOU SO!
There will be blood!
