The worst thing you've ever done

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO.

last summer at AF bar had an experience that thru me off for a little. Some guy that was in the circle of friends i was with walked out without paying for 1 beer.. Another girl who said she was her sister . maybe she was also an assistant mgr or what... she started yelling at her and slapped her in the face. It was violent and she was yelling at her.
It would of came out of her salary . It happened so fast and then I said I would pay for his drink.
That's the last time I will ever get involved w shit like that between employees and also be aware of who I am around. They didnt expect me to pay but after seeing that slap, I felt horrible for the girl.


I even like an idiot went up to the manager or whatever she is. The heavyweight woman at the register. I shared what happened and she didnt bat an eye and could care less.

I doubt that shit would happen at one of @jah steu establishments.. Unsure who owns AF and any politics involved

Just thinking back.. the girl who got slapped looked kinda Indian but spoke khmer
That fat manager lady is a C**T!

I believe that is the mods want to leave this thread up, they should live with the posts. You cannot ban someone for sharing their "worst" moment in life.

I don't know who got banned nor what they said exactly- but if they said their worst act with remorse, then forgive and forget.

Otherwise- delete this thread.
Still here, in country...

The one who sits next to the p.c. they play the music from and does the til ? She's a nice woman. There are many A LOT worse than her in Phnom Penh and beyond.

I don't quite understand the story being told above, but I also saw something disturbing in AFB. A Chinese customer - who was clearly in some kind of sexually frenzied state - started violently pulling the hair of one of the girls. This was at the bar and would have been on camera.

I went over, pulled his arm and told him "that's way too much". The bar staff told me off for intervening saying the guy was just having fun and was buying drinks, but the girl involved was clearly relieved by my intervention.

There's a huge amount of hypocrisy in Phnom Penh though. People talk about sticking up for girls and actually do fuck all about it when it doesn't suit them.

Maybe I DID behave inappropriately, in which case I do regret it and I do apologise, but to be compared with someone torturing and raping women is just batshit crazy.
I think you ARE misinterpreting it. And I think the orbital sander image was just posted as a humorous image rather than a threat against you.
Making flirty suggestions to massage staff is in NO WAY comparable to the actions of a torturer/rapist.
What you did is IMHO very mildly naughty in a S.E Asia context and is something that I’m sure many guy have done. I think you are overanalysing your very modest naughtiness.

That's the issue, there was no remorse, rather, a belief the abduction, torture and rape of his wife at his own hands was perfectly acceptable or justified because he exacted his punishment in a country that allows such barbaric practices. Another poster has admitted to violence against women but at least showed remorse, and the ability to self reflect.

I too am a hypocrite by the way, as I'm reminded by the deleted story on here that's been referred to.

The girl I was closest too in my trips to Phnom Penh and who was for a fairly short while my best friend, had a then ex-boyfriend from the UK who'd been seeing her for years on and off.

I know that at one point she loved him, but she was also scared of him. She told me he nearly killed her once after she went with another guy when she was seeing him. She said he strangled her and in her words tried to kill her. She also said when he found out we'd seen each other while he was back in UK, he was so angry she had to spend the night sleeping on the floor in the village police 'station' (bunch of useless cunts they were btw). I suspect (but don't know) that it was him who posted a picture of a bomb on her facebook page saying "I can explode this whenever I want" or similar, and a photo of her house using a phone she'd left with her kids, and I suspect that's why she got back with him (although I don't know any of that for sure, and she was involved with a loan shark at the time who I believe tbf he may have sorted out).

I have seen several posts of his on facebook though that in the context of what she told me, I have pretty much no doubt were meant to make her think they were threats to her children (daddy riding off on a motorbike with a little girl strapped to the back, 3 kids locked up in a cage etc), in order to keep her 'in line'. She told me that some things he said to her (ie "are you dead yet ?") were just their sense of humour, but I think it went beyond that into physcological control. Last I heard (her side of the story) he'd moved into her house and effectively kicked her out. She'd kept me out of it previously, but she did try talking to me about that, and I just basically shrugged my shoulders and told her to try to make the best of it.

I met the guy and all I did was ask him to look after her. He's a big chap who would probably take me to the cleaners these days, and who in any case knows a lot of people in Phnom Penh and seems to be well liked. In some ways he seems to be a virtuous and even fairly pleasant guy, his best mate seemed like a very nice chap, and he let me go on my way. It's also always difficult to judge when you only have one side of a story, especially with someone whose got herself messed up in a whole load of shit, but if I had any bollocks I would have tried to have done something more than ask him to take care of her and left him to it.

I get the impression she's found a way to move on now anyway. Maybe he saw the error of his ways in the end.

She might be nice to you but she gives me the stink eye one day and smiles at me the next IMO that place has been going down hill for the past 12 months.

Yes she was pretty much the same with me, but you never know what's going on in these places. My personal impression was that she was a decent human being.
