Anyway, it's normal enough here for people, especially if they haven't got loads of back-up nearby, to pick up the nearest heavy object and bash someone with it. Many don't seem too keen on the fisticuffs we often indulge in after-hours back home.

Making a reservation for a motodop to pick you up at a certain time seldom makes any sense. Just walk outside and grab the next one that drives by.

Agreed !! I think the reason why people agree to having the Dop come back are one of two reasons , firstly they may feel pressured into agreeing for them to return at a set time or secondly they may well have been using them for a few days ..gavinmac wrote:Making a reservation for a motodop to pick you up at a certain time seldom makes any sense.

More or less every dop that i have used has asked if he can come back later , i always reply that i really don't know how long i'm going to be here it could be ten minutes or it could be six hours , i really don't know , give them a cigarette and wave good bye , ive never had any trouble off them by using this method , seems to work well for me and others .. As far as dops are concerned it's very much a Barangs Market ...
I have asked drivers to come back, but only regular ones I trusted. If I had to take a driver I didn't know and wasn't sure about I used a technique I've actually learned from K440 and that has always served me well: for journeys worth around a dollar, use a bunch of riels and bundle them together with the biggest on top so it looks more than it is, press the money quickly into the driver's hand and walk away. By the time he has counted it I am home and dry. Alternatively, for journeys worth more than a dollar and with not enough riel change, fold the one dollar bills in a way that looks there is 3 or 4 instead of 2. Again, put the money quickly in his hand. Walk away.

I like to pay them in monopoly money and tell them that it's Canadian. When they balk I just kick them in the balls and zap them with my stun gun. If I'm near home I'll have the servants set the Rottweilers on them. They're usually malnourished and can barely fight back against my well fed guard dogs. Oh, how they knash and wail as the dogs tear into them! Cheating the desperately poor is fun!Hemingway wrote:I have asked drivers to come back, but only regular ones I trusted.

I always give 5$, even for a 200 meters drive. And when the motodop stays speechless I tell him I'm sorry not given him more. But I'm sure the next Barang will do, especially if its a woman teacher.Hemingway wrote:I have asked drivers to come back, but only regular ones I trusted.

More fantastic K440 tips. Mods take note, it's about time you collect them for a leather bound edition to be sold exclusively at Monument Books.
