Good comebacks to the more aggressive "motocy" hustlers
Good comebacks to the more aggressive "motocy" hustlers
I'm not talking about the honest ones that throw a simple 'hello' before driving on or going about their business. Or the ones that are laid back and just letting you know of their presence. That's a different story.
I've been doing a good deal of walking lately so as to trim off a little fat. Was in Bangkok last month and walked everyday, noticed a difference in how I felt so have decided to do more here in PP.
Anyone have any good Khmer responses to the ones that go out of their way to distract and harass barangs (and the occasional Khmer)? Like the kind you get right outside Sorya, Paragon, Capitol GH, all of Monivong, and especially every little sidestreet East of Norodom up to the river?
The kind that yell seven different solicitations at you just inside eight seconds. Or the kind that wait until you are as close as possible and yell in your ear. How about the ones that catch you at a dangerous traffic intersection and, through the gaps of passing trucks and suvs wail the oddest possible sounds that a human mouth could ever make?
Just tonight I had an older guy step in my path and face me cowboy-stance showdown style. I whipped my elbow around feigning a head scratch on my part in hopes of catching his shoulder and perhaps leaving a nice little blue mark. I missed but came close. My goal wasn't to leave the blue mark so much as to send a message.
Any good one-liners that would stop them in their tracks or piss them up a bit? Something like:
- Are you from a zoo?
- Did you escape from a zoo?
- Piss off.
- Fuck off.
- No and I never ride moto.
- I see you took your Yaba today.
- Does your wife know you talk like that? Don't have a wife? I understand.
and so on...
Happy walking everyone.

You're asking how to train a dog to stop barking. Can't be done. Best to treat it as white noise. My name for them is 'motosquitoes' - think about it.
I find it difficult to hold my tongue - not in my nature, and I have a load of retorts in Khmer. Don't advise it though - it just encourages them.

I came, I argued, I'm out
I usually just completely ignore them.
But other times I tell them that I hate the and sometimes tell them to fuck off-in english.
Havent had tyres slashed yet,havent been here long.

telling street hawkers to quit their trade (think of it as third-world version of western tele-marketing during dinner time)? not likely...
behaving like street urchins to counter the street hawkers? go smoke some weeds to calm you down is a better solution.

I am guilty of this, mocking a few passerby barangs whether they needed a moto or a tuk tuk the responses were hilarious.
Barang 1: "Otte"
Barang 2: "Knyom jong der"
Barang 3: "Te'ss kynom nov jit ni's.

whenever a moto or tuktuk asks me for a ride i say "why, yes please my good sir"
i then get on or jump in, drive less than an inch with them before i shout "STOP!" and get out and carry on walking, they'll usually drive up beside you again and be all like "tuktuk sir?" whereby i do the whole thing again until they get bored.

Who the hell walks anywhere here ?
Just have your driver park directly outside the front door to the establishment that you are entering/exiting so that you have the minimal amount of distance and time between you and the beer.
Additionally, parking in that spot should also run over any offending motodops that were stopped there to start with.
Problem solved.

"We, the sons of John Company, have arrived"
Hmmm, I see there is an older thread indeed. Found it, some decent commiseration but what I was specifically hoping for were a few phrases that would put them aback, so to speak.
Playboy, I have been trying to burn off calories and find free walking the best "natural" way to do it.

PB,
Whilst Wanking might burn off a few calories, I'd suggest a walk instead.
Now that you have your" Red" Mod Signature back does that mean I have to play nice ?

I refuse to go out with nothing more than a whimper followed by a small farting sound and a shit stain on my bed sheets..
Just thought I'd share that with you.

1 time i took a motodope home once when i was shithammered, somehow i ended up driving it and crashed that fucker right outside my house (they say accidents happen close to home) anyway i tossed a buck at the guy and passed out in my own piss, he's NEVER asked me ever again whether i needed a ride, if you can do this to every motodope in town then you'll never be bothered again.
