Have you ever had a shoe thrown at you in Cambodia?

Nope, never happened to me but I've seen plenty of Khmer chickenheads do it to each other.
But let's be honest here...nothing will ever come close to the khmer national sport of 'Kicking The Flipflop'.

Someone I know in Saigon had lumps of ice thrown at him by jealous teen males in district 9.

But where's all the shoe stories? Cambodia and Asia are famous for shoe throwing etc. Not sure why. Anybody?

A) It's the only thing they have in their immediate posession that they can throw, and B) It is considered very disrespectful to do so, like how putting your feet up in Thailand I've heard is very offensive.

Those are my guesses.

As they were up against me and a baseball bat, didn't worry me much

Impressive! They brought shoes to a baseball bat fight!

Never had a shoe thrown at me, but I have had a hundred bucks stolen from my room at the grand View. I had two in my bag and when I came to get change, one had gone. Could only have been someone who let themselves in.
I politely informed the lady who seemed to be running the place, but despite a fair bit of shouting amongst the staff, I never saw my hundred dollars again.
No one threw a shoe at me though, so clearly my complaint was not properly logged!

That story is not even remotely about shoe throwing in any way whatsoever at all!

Number one step daughterish threw a clog at me (if that counts). It may have been in relation to my nazi biscuit control policies.

Slightly off topic- I had an excessively quebecois nationalist separatist bus driver in Montréal spitting at me some years back. Initially my own fault apparently, for
-not being quebecois
-speaking English
-not understanding road signs hidden in snow banks

After a few minutes, I decided that annoying the crap out of him might lead to him stroking out to add some comedy to the event. Sadly, no. He lived on, and nearly wiped out the side of the bus while swerving at me in my car. I gather his passengers weren’t too impressed, though.
