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. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

The vicious packs of dogs around Bangkok shouldnt be kicked. They should be euthanized.

God I miss Cambodia. The bad times can go fuck themselves, but the good times were so much fun. It was so easy to be happy that you almost didn't even notice it. It gave me a taste of having everything again, and a slice of life I should really have lost any right to long ago, and for that I'll always be grateful to it. Sure, for the visitor it's mostly just a play, but for the players in any play, it's as real as anything while the show is on. It just goes more quickly, that's all. Soon all that you'll have is the memory, but a memory of something is better than a memory of nothing, and Cambodia will always be something. Enjoy it while it lasts, while you live it and breath it and while the stage is yours.

I also remember terrorizing a flock of sheep with a pack of dogs and intentionally chasing them off a cliff whilst in Scotland. I can still hear the sound of them clattering onto the rocks below. I also used to go ferreting as a boy. Ferret down the rabbit hole, rabbits run out into nets placed over the hole and then we would kill them with our bare hands. I could never do that now.

Probably the worst thing in Cambodia I've done is drunkenly taken on a then popular expat bar owner in his own premises which I'm completely embarrassed about. Suffice to say I got my arse summarily handed to me in a hand basket and still feel like an idiot for my actions.

How bad would the worst thing you've ever done been ? the thing you regret the most ?

When I was a kid ( about 8 ) I kicked our dog (golden retriever) in a petulant temper tantrum.
If you had woken up in the middle of the night having an urge to use the bathroom and while blindly stumbling towards the toilet accidentally kicked your dog. Dogs don't know we make mistakes, it would have though you woke up in the middle of the night just to kick it awake. Or, more plausible, forgotten the whole episode the next day.

I can guarantee you she never totally forgave me. it was a petulant kick when she was lieing completely relaxed on the lawn.

I was only about 9 but it was still a very shit thing to do.

Walking out of my apt one night -- a dark alleyway which leads to main strip-- Preah Norodom Blvd.( near Caltex gas station). anyway some dog was barking and inching closer to me so i just froze. Stopped. I seem to remember if you run a dogs instinct is to run after you. I slowed my pace and dog kept barking and i kept walking. A few seconds later ( which seemed longer) the dog just stopped.

I assume thats the correct way? dont run if dog is barking at you?
