    Cat = American slang for "vagina"

    Oh really? Are you sure? Are you NES American?

    If so, in what subculture or what part of the country is this usage common?

    I have lived in america my entire life,

    I have never heard the use of the word cat, to describe anything other than, a cat.

    sometimes is is about a woman named Catherine, who doesnt like the victorian name given her, nor cathy

    the only other time I have heard it used was when the rumors floated that it was being substitued for chicken,

    I have heard a haitian call the female body part, chicken,

    but never cat,

    that puts the posters credibility that below a haitian who barely spoke english

    good job

    Because you are an old white man. You don't use slang like we use.

    Losing temper with Thai staff

    Yes, today I committed the ultimate sin of losing it with a staff member in front of others. She also happens to be a family member. I know it causes a major loss of face but I didn't expect the following to happen:

    I realised I shouldn't have shouted and asked for a quiet chat, partly to apologise and also to explain why I reacted as I did. Not only would she not speak to me, she took a cushion and just held it over her face so we couldn't even see each other!

    Anyone else come across a reaction like this?

    Your a horrible abusive person. The cushion on the face is the ultimate humiliation

    clap2.gifcheesy.gifcheesy.gif Coming from a 30 year old who admits to physically abusing his girlfriend and living off of his mother, I don't think you are in a position to call the OP a horrible abusive person. I don't believe the OP was humiliated because some childish employee held a cushion to her face. None of the Thais I know would hold a cushion to their face, and they most likely would terminate an employee who did such a thing in their presence. I fully appreciate that one must respect local customs, but it is not customary for anyone with a sense of professionalism to do such a thing. And yes I have lost my temper and dressed down staff previously. Know what, they never stepped out of line again. It's 2014 not 1914. Improper conduct can get people killed. When my friend was out dismantling IEDs in the south, he would tear a strip off people who didn't follow instructions. His life and theirs depended on it. I can't recall him ever telling me the personnel covered their face with a pillow, but he did mention one guy peed in his pants and another one ran home to his mother.

    You foreigners really have too much time. It's always a HUGE paragraph of a story of no relevance to anything at all.

    Skeetjones, might be you are the best person to fix this problem

    You seem the similar kind of person to that cushion-girl.

    Young, block-headed, too arrogant w/o anything to be in that stage,

    thought you been-there-done-that, thought you're cool

    but the truth is you are just a small-world man.

    I don't see this is the cultural problem, this happened to me also, though I am similar Thai.

    Being farang is just one weaker point that they will never seen you as the same folks.

    And if anything happened, especially violence, all people around are ready to take her side,

    Just because she is the same folks, and this ruins the work-management, thats it.

    I can NEVER understand young people these days. Most of them are dump and lazy.

    These not happened to only Thais,

    but we have one example here which i have no idea where come from

    Same all every nations, .

    Kindly, kindly put your feet into that cushion-girl feet

    and tell me why such ridiculous (stupid too) reaction she managed herself for this situation.

    What has Thailand become?

    See what has happened in Thailand is that once a pure and loving country has been over run by foreigners, who constantly degrade and be little Thailand's people of original origin.

    Thus leading to emotional turmoil in the LOS. The young men now realize that they are no match for a foreigner check book thus creating hostile angry new generations of people. This later spills into the politics, all the way to the soup stands.

    I'm so sorry for my mothers home land. :(

    I don't live off my mother. Please re-read my thread.

    I HAVE been abusive, as I did admit. Does it happen everyday...no. A few times in 5 years...Yes. Either way no good.

    The man should be ashamed of yelling at the woman doing her job :(

    Whatever problems you have in the states you will have here.

    College at 30? The women will be all over you.

    No they won't. The typical female undergrad will be 18-21. She will have nothing in common with a 30 year old farang freshman living off his mum. If he was a dashing doctoral or post doc fellow and was financially independent, then yes, there might be interest. Desirable Thai university girls can have their pick of a large pool of handsome, financially secure Thai university students.

    Lol who said I'm looking for a woman in Thailand? I've been there done that. If I did go, I'm doing my own thing. Been on lock down long enough. I've got 21 year olds trying to give me the cat here in America I don't think I'll have a problem in Thailand. Thanks

    And what's the point in starting a thread and then verbally attacking everyone who says something which isn't to your liking?

    I'm by no means am living wild.

    I've lived in Thailand for 3 years so I need no paragraphs about the 'rules' and life style.

    I'm in a bad relationship and I admit that.

    My mom is leaving and I will be alone in the state no moral or any type of support if / will the relationship goes sour. That worries me.

    It's been on my mind, just asking for some opinions. I don't need to hear how someone will beat me to death or I'm headed for jail.

    Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Thailand

    If you know you are in a bad relationship, as you say, and are asking what you should do about it then it is clear you have a normal life problem that most adults at age 30 know how to handle. You dont.

    So you should get some help. If Mom or family hasn't been helpful in this capacity (some families can be and others cannot... it depends on a lot) then you should get it from a professional. Go get some therapy. And end the relationship.

    Generally speaking... in today's world you cannot get a decent job and career without some kind of advanced degree - MBA, MA, or some kind of graduate school. That's general. People will disagree but based on what you have said it is probably a good idea for you.

    Don't look to Thailand for good schools, unless you talk about Sasin, which is as expensive as a grad program in the USA and is only really good if you plan to work in Thailand, even though it is as good as many grad programs in the USA, in fact.

    One part kind of shocked me: still living with Mom at age 30?

    I can't relate. I left home at 18 when I went to college and have never been back for more than a visit. I love my Dad and my Mom a lot. Great people. But I never wanted to live under their roof after I was 15 or so.

    Get help. Its not unusual to need help of this kind. I know many people who have needed some help at different points in their lives and it made their lives better.

    Some good points.

    But I'm not living with my mom at 30.

    I asked if I should go back to Thailand at age 30. If I can find a job in BKK and make it on my own then I will do that 110%.

    If I live at my moms house in the village and help her with her business then what's wrong with that? Where else am I going to live in a VILLAGE? A fancy apartment? The village doesn't have those. Only makes sense to stay at moms house.

    My two aunts, their boyfriends, ex wife and kid...Live at my moms house. My moms ex boyfriends mom and dad and cousin and her nephews lived at my moms house all at one time.

    That's how asian family's work. You all should know that. Your bar girlfriends family live the same way.

    Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Thailand

    Troll?

    go on. tell us what else we don't know about asian families? Abusive relationships?

    Nothing wrong with living at Mom's if you are an asian boy who has dead end jobs and no ambition to develop a career. And... let me guess. ... everyone is there because she has the money or the business that produces the money? Sounds like you will be perfectly at home in a village. lost of support for you.

    So am I lying then? That's not how it works? I've lived on both sides of the fence. I know how white family's work and asian ones work.

    I have no ambition? I have plenty ambition. If I didn't I wouldn't even have brought up going BACK TO SCHOOL. You idiot.

    My mom has money? WHY WOULD SHE MOVE BACK TO THAILAND THEN?! HELLLLLLO. Is there a brain inside that head?

    If she had MONEY she would be living in a great place here in the states not worrying about nothing.

    I actually care about my mom. She's been through a ton of shit. She has no MAN at home taking care of her and making sure everything is fine. So what's wrong with being a good son these days? You dick heads probably visit your mom once every 5 years and rush them off the phone when they call so you can make it to your Soapy appointment. Scum bags.

    Don't listen to TV users they are old and angry, mad that the bar girl hustled them out the retirement funds.

    They criticize, hate and put dirt on the Thai people and country, yet are dieing inside for another chance to come back.

    This forum is full of,

    "why do Thais do this"

    "why won't a girl 30 years younger love me"

    "why do Thai people do that"

    "I hate Thailand and it's people"

    "Stupid Thai TV fx"

    "Didn't know it was a ladyboy"

    "Stuck in Los, need donations"

    "Thai men are scum, we are superior"
