hoarding water

Ask us anything. Cambodia Expats Online has a huge community of long-term expats that can answer any question you may have about life in Cambodia. Have some questions you want to ask before you move to Cambodia? Ask them here. Our community can also answer any questions you have about how to find a job or what kind of work is available for expats in Cambodia, whether you're looking for info about Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, or anywhere else in the Kingdom. You're also welcome to ask about visa and work permit questions as well, as the immigration rules change often, especially since COVID-19. Don't be shy, ask CEO's community anything!

You "hate the guy who runs a business near where I live"?
Why? Because he has his own business? Or are you projecting your frustrations at the current water shortage onto him?

And then your choice of words in this next part is interesting.
"I can feel the compressors running all day long"
Really? "feel" ?? this implies you can't hear them but you can "feel" the vibrations they make while running? but you only live near to him, not above, below or next door to.

And you think he's hoarding water... lol like thats a crime. unhinged is starting to fit rather well here tbh.

And whats this "we" shit ... you'll find the "We", ie. most people, don't care.. we might sympathize a little.. but thats about it.

You sound madder than Mad jack McMad, winner of last years Mr Madman competition.


PS. Bonus 10 points if you know where that last quote comes from :)

That's the one.

To return to the OP's problem, he asks how WE can bust his neighbour.

I think you are on shaky ground here. Hoarding water isn't illegal in Cambodia, but, depending on what euphemism he uses for his procreative apparatus, feeling his compressor is probably a serious crime.

Hope this helps.
