Official in Serious Hot Water for Pointing at Car with Foot
Re: Official in Serious Hot Water for Pointing at Car with Foot
It's the wife's car. I hate the damn thing & ride a motorbike.
Meum est propositum in taberna mori,
ut sint Guinness proxima morientis ori.
tunc cantabunt letius angelorum chori:
"Sit Deus propitius huic potatori."

Yeah, it's moments like these that make me realize there's a lot of truth in Kipling's "East and West, and never the twain shall meet".Brody wrote:It amazes me sometimes seeing what Khmers decide to become outraged by.
Considering the utter avalanche of unabashed fucktardery going on at all levels in this country, this has to be pretty low on the totem pole, no?

It doesn t take long for a barang/ farang to learn that what she did is considered rude, honestly, I can t understand the faux pas she made. Anyone with a nice civil service uniform in either country is considered the middle class and should know better. If she disliked the driver of the car inserting her finger up her nose until the second joint would have gotten the point across without retribution. Asia is all about subtlety, scratching your head in public suggests you carry livestock, having someone use tweezers to pull your grey hairs out shows that you care about your appearance. I feel the proper punishment is removing at least two of the hard-earned decorations she no doubts has earned dispensing the proper licence plates.

She should have just pointed with her lips .

Considering the dress she's wearing the reason why she used her foot instead of her ass pointing up in the air for the photo shoot.
She chose the better outcome her whole posture in the photo shows that and still tried to look somewhat professional.

I always thought that this bit of Khmer etiquette was about not pointing your feet at images of the Buddha, monks etc as well as other people.
She's gesturing to a fucking license plate on a second rate bong tom wannabe Audi.
Have possessions become so intrinsically linked to peoples identity in Cambodia that they too must be regarded as extensions of the individual and must have the same rites and courtesies granted to them?!?
Get a fucking grip.

It's an indecent act - the license plate can see right up her skirt.
You could be next.

Re: Official in Serious Hot Water for Pointing at Car with Foot
It's total fucking nonsense. Where's the outrage when an official gets pissed drunk and crashes into someone permanently injuring or killing them? There's none, or if there is it's all swept under the carpet and quickly forgotten. It's a totally pathetic pretense at morality.Anthony's Weiner wrote: ↑Wed Aug 21, 2019 12:13 pm It doesn t take long for a barang/ farang to learn that what she did is considered rude, honestly, I can t understand the faux pas she made.

Silence, exile, and cunning.

So petty, this perverse enforcement of Khmer mores.
As my old Cajun bait seller used to say, "I opes you luck.

Exactly. How many times have we seen a car crash where the driver leaves the scene and never gets arrested ?John Bingham wrote: ↑Wed Aug 21, 2019 5:08 pmIt's total fucking nonsense.

IMO there must be a back story to this social media outrage. There is usually a reason behind these sort of stories.
