  1. You have been here 26 years and you surely know there's a different attitude to privacy in Thailand.

    However, you're quite right, it's not at all professional.

    Actually I think it's a bit of an odd one.

    Whilst yes it's highly unprofessional the fact is the need for privacy might be largely to do with ego. (No offence here not saying you have a large ego at all I think your reaction is completely natural if it happened as you say.)

    Therefore for one's affairs to be everyone's affairs.....like the Thais.....is in a strange way a lessening of one's "specialness", a decrease in the ego which I'd say is surely a good thing for the psyche. One is more part of a group. Everyone is interested.

    If they don't realise that you expect privacy though something's wrong (though pleased to see they asked about caffeine.)

    Lastly.

    There is never an excuse for losing one's temper.

    Not blaming you, especially if you are under the weather mentally right now, but there is no excuse.

    As a Stoic big S I am aware that no one else is responsible for my mental states, and that means the bad ones.

    One bears full responsibility oneself.

    Maybe the way to look at it is, these people were certainly willing to help......they simply see the world in a somewhat different way to what you do.

    Good luck anyway!

    one's affairs to be everyone's affairs...is actually a cause of an increase in the ego.

    To make your affairs to be everyone's affairs is a product of society, which never works on decreasing the ego.

    It protects its assets.

  2. Puss chicken strips. That's good. I have never understood what's the point of cornering in a way so that those strips will be removed and then take photos of the tire to show that it's removed. Don't get me wrong, do whatever turns you on but this must be the strangest thing I have ever come across.

  3. Suddenly pulled out the gun under the pillow. Sounds strange. He knew in advance that the girl was going to go in and break up with him so kept the gun under the pillow just in case. Yeah right.

    And if he cheated on her he didn't love her. He didn't have a reason to end his life because she decided leave. B....es come and go. Plus he had another woman.
