It's not as if it hasn't been done before....... they merely patch it up afterwards - probably the patches will be around longer than the road surface......
Plain stupid, impossibly ignorant or simply selfish?

Playboy's suggested renaming doesRainMan wrote:The title literally doesn't limit it to just Khmer's, the first photo's do imply that but there's been plenty of ex pat and immigrant bashing done before. As for feeling superior threads, they quickly get shot down but are amusing to a certain extent. All part of the 440 experience, buckle up, enjoy

When expats fuck up, we prefer dedicated threads on that expat/fuck up for maximum entertainment and mocking - completely different to the day-to-day foibles of people destroying public property through sheer stupidly or laziness - or double parking 7 feet away from the kerb so that they do not need to park 20 yards away and walk from there ...violet wrote:There's one convenience store in St 172 that stinks of urine. Gross.
As for the title...why limit it to khmers? Immigrants and expats aplenty fit the bill. You want a long running thread, have one where you can feel superior over a larger demographic.

While I have been guilty of that recently, my post that you quoted was in response to the post directly above mine. Just as that poster was prompted to post about a kid shitting on the street by another comment, I was prompted by him to mention the store that smells of piss. And as already explained my comment about khmers and the title was in response to Playboy's post.Miguelito wrote:We could start a “stupid things Violet says before she fully reads the posts she’s commenting on” thread.violet wrote:There's one convenience store in St 172 that stinks of urine.

About 10 years ago, they renovated the park opposite Wat Botoum. During that year's Water Festival, I saw some yokels from the provinces digging up the new paving stones so they could erect a tent.
You haven't been guilty of that "recently", you've been posting mostly dumb, incoherent, boring ramblings forever.violet wrote:While I have been guilty of that recently, my post that you quoted was in response to [blah blah]Miguelito wrote: We could start a “stupid things Violet says before she fully reads the posts she’s commenting on” thread.

As to your long winded, circumvoluted constant explanations about why you post this or that and that you're being misunderstood again... do you seriously think anybody in his right mind gives a fuck?
Textbook definition of forum attention whore.

well, it's a good thing some people can still be surprised by behavior like this. Maybe some of us have become too seasoned?violet wrote:It interests me that people are so impacted by his behaviour that it warranted posting about it.

A couple of years back I was building a property. The builders were living on site as they built it, as they do here.
As they finished each floor they moved up one floor. They were filthy brutes and smoked and cooked indoors, so the newly constructed and painted rooms were quickly becoming tired and old. I was glad to get them out of the ground floor so I could put in some furniture in advance of the whole property being finished. One of the builders fancied the look of the furniture and said that he would stay in there for security - I said no, it would be locked up and anyway all the builders were just upstairs so security wouldn’t be an issue.
The dickhead, thinking that I would never know, forced the lock and slept in the room for a few days. I knew by the smell that there was someone in there, and it was confirmed when I saw the lock was bent. Of course I suspected him and it only took a few minutes of asking to confirm my suspicions. He told the other workers that the foreigner likes him and wants him to stay in the nice room to take care of it.
I made him pay for a replacement lock and keep for the door - he thought this was the most unfair thing ever.

When a female works in the hostess bar scene, it's what she has to do to make money. When a guy bangs a peg into asphalt it's selfish, stupid or ignorant.
Changes are coming quickly to Cambodia. Too quickly for those caught in a particular age group in (near) poverty. So, a person does what they need to maximize income while they can.
