can you give me an example of how I could practise my superiority on a 7/11 16 years employee ?

You can't.

Which is exactly my point. The one stating not only that you can but also that many actually do is donald 36.

The point suggested by you that is just me being inferior to a 16 years old 7/11 employee is so foolish that it isn't even funny or worth discussing.
Besides, it's even racist towards the employee , using her/him as a low comparison point for someone you despise.
Glad to be once more the target of your arrogant and delirant stupidity, anyway.

There will come a time when the things that you fell in love with in Thailand, become things you hate

**DrAndy** · 16-10-2009, 07:51 PM

yeah, I already hate som tam

**Loy Toy** · 16-10-2009, 08:12 PM

And hot, humid, sticky climates.

Best I go back to Methr Tydwell in the middle of summer to get pneumonia again just to remind myself how lucky I am!

**BobR** · 16-10-2009, 08:26 PM

I do fine controlling mt temper here except when I have to drive my car. The selfish, childish and stupid behavior that the Thai's demonstrate while driving is simply too much to ignore. Selfish and stupid are carefully chosen words that describe most Thai drivers perfectly. The flashing of high beams at cars driving at a reasonable speed like I'm supposed to shit all over myself to get out of some monkeys way is teenage boy maturity that most westerners outgrow about the time they turn 20.

Have to ask because I’ve search other posts and other discussion groups fruitlessly trying to find an answer.

I have met a great deal of wonder people whom came to Thailand for much different reasons, and they mostly seem to have relaxed dispositions (Beer helps me). But; in traffic, at immigration, at a border, shopping, and working with service people, you see displays of frustration and anger that I just don’t see in the other parts of the world I’ve lived. Prefer to think it’s not specifically an indication of the type of person that moves to Thailand. Is it a frustration that comes from a lack of personal power, and perceived personal security, in a situation resulting from different rules and a lack of communication?

Just wondering if I'll start feeling the same way in twenty years, as now feel I don't have a good grasp on 'getting it'. Don't get it on an emotional level, ain't worried about it, but finding I now ignore it far more easily after some time living in LOS.

Maybe a better question is; am a naughty person for enjoying, and being amused by watching, that one or more at times, elderly male Farang whom has a spiffy temper tantrum during every visit to the immigration office?

Thank you for reading.

And, besides the temper, why so many EXPAT perverts???

I was in Carrefour (Chiang Mai City) and me and the wife were just do a "normal" shop, when this vile little German crustacean came up to us (IT wasd like Klaus Kinskis dad, on Viagra, quite a turd in human form. Then IT started looking through the shopping trolley, IT was about 70 years old, and within half a minute (you know, you try and be a little bit friendly and give a bit of "benefit of the doubt" to these shits -) I was going to put the fucker through the mincing machine!

He started asking about how many times a day we had sex! - this is Carrefour at 11AM!!!!! What a fucking piece of SHIT!

What is it with some of these people, are they completely fucked up in the head??

Imagine his hospital bill if he started that shit at 11PM in a bar!

Actually, the old turd told me he had a moped, I should have waited outside and squashed the old shitter!

Usually also the time when they learn how punctuation works.

Valid points, and true.

Equally valid point - in fact, I'm always amazed at the sense of entitlement some guys exhibit. As if Thailand owed them something.

Surely it's better to be born in a first world country , but it's not that bed of roses either.

...certainly not for self-described victims who do nothing else but bitch about everything -- same people that go to a different country, and continue the bitching.

Smart people realize the opportunities are there, take advantage of them, and make the system work for them. Just as they would in another country as well.

It's the people, stupid, not the countries....

Well, we can all enjoy childish behaviour, a couple of things worth a laugh are, (if you use the rear view mirrors which most Thais don't) watch the fuckers approaching at high speed, and when they get right up your ass, take your choice...

a) Pull the handbrake on - they nearly shit themselves, as the brake lights don't go on! Hilarious, as they will get fucked for ramming you...hey, got a damaged rear end...get it fixed free, courtesy of a THAI!

b) Just feather the footbrake, whilst applying more throttle, the brake light comes on way before the brake, and you get the pleasure of seeing them nearly get an airbag as you hurtle away, with the added excitement that a huge truck that cannot stop, maybe right up their ass at the same time...and no ammount of headlight flashing is going to get the fuckers out of that.

I would suggest that if you try these little amusements out, please avoid them during Song Kran - the wife ended up lying screaming in the footwell of the car, as some HISO [at][at][at][at] tried their luck with a handgun...luckily, their shooting skills were pretty much on par with their driving skills and they were "objects in the rear view mirror" quite quickly...but they don't seem to share our sense of humour, so be careful where you take the piss, and make sure you either can get away, or have a bigger gun!

Will never be recognized as long as there is a convenient scapegoat.

he didn't remember! not the best then

**Fabian** · 17-10-2009, 12:27 AM

What do you mean by ""60+"? I have all kind of tempers being far from 60.

**nigelandjan** · 17-10-2009, 12:54 AM

I think its a generation thing ,,,,,,,, the 60 plusses now will be used to people doing what they are supposed to do when they are supposed to do it ,, and getting the right result ,,,,,

Of course all of us that have had to put up with the unexplainable way the Thais go about things have to shrug our shoulders and take a step back while they get on with it ,, otherwise we would go crazy ,, its just that this age group find it harder to accept

No I never even considered it not until the German pensioner dwarf/retard mentioned it, then I almost fell for him...the smooth talking bastard!

**tsicar** · 17-10-2009, 01:59 AM

i have to admit that i got used to turning a bit of a blind eye to most of the assenine behaviour, poor service and rudeness i witnessed in thailand, putting it down to a lack of breeding and poor education, and for the sake of my own sanity and health, i had to learn to laugh it off: to try and see the humour in the situation, but:
when another person, regardless of whether it is "his country" or not, puts the lives of my family in danger because he can't or won't drive properly, then the roadrage wells up in me to the point where i could happilly kill...........

most often, in my own country, i can get over the roadrage by hanging my head out of the window, yelling a few obscenities, and waving about a few handsignals.
in thailand, however, the fukkers mostly just respond with a smile: frustrates the hell outta me!
the only way one can get them suitably riled, is to wave the sole of your foot at them, which entails disentangling yourself from your flipflop, winding down the window, using the accelerator pedal, brake and clutch with your left foot, and pulling a muscle trying to get your foot out of the window.
can't someone just teach them to read the much safer bloody handsignals that have become the universally accepted way of telling another driver that he is an asshole that the rest of the civilised world knows and understands?
