Cool, calm, collected and unperturbed?

This makes you look like an uneducated, ignorant prick. There are way more things you can say before escalating to such profanities.willyhilly wrote:Never had a problem but I enjoy abusing the priviledged niek mien women who like to push into queues.

Re: What do you do when you get pissed off with the locals?
One time at that lucky burger inside citymall, i had my 2 * $1 notes in hand and waited in line.
when its my turn some random local starts ordering when still walking from behind me.
this happens again,
so i turn and walk away, denying them their chance of getting rich.
i really should have just torn up the notes and then said politely 'arcon', but i had already walked away before i thought of it.
And telling others not to shop at an accused 'rude'business is my therapy as a pacifist.
lol though once when fuji shop refused to scan a picture to file as i did it the week before so she remembered i didnt get prints just a scan she says this time 'dont have', i left flabergasted speaking in my best fake vietnamese out loud.
i called a pawn shop owner a jowl in march/april this year for allowing my phone to be pawned without id, lol i was angry that night and my friend that borrowed my phone is lucky i didnt go tell her mum what her daughter did.

Such a symbolic gesture would be lost on the majority of Cambodians. They would simply think you were crazy.
It's frustrating indeed. What do I do? It depends on how severely I've been offended or threatened. But whatever I say I say in Cambodian.-"

Re: What do you do when you get pissed off with the locals?
Generally, Cambodians are great people. The only things I really don't care for is their driving and line jumping. Line jumping, I just figure its ignorance of the system and I try to gently educate them. The driving thing is hopeless until traffic laws are enforced. I do have a nice big air-horn to point out their transgressions, but in the end, its their country and I'm just a guest.
