@fredwiggy Your post says a lot about you. Plus...you are wrong. The car on the left is already on the turn and simply waiting for the pedestrians to cross. @lordgrinz is on the other side of the intersection with a clear view of what is happening. There was not enough space for @lordgrinz to pass safely, regardless of whether he had right of way or not. The right thing to do was to allow the red car to complete the turn. Pushing through regardless was bad form. The fact that you cannot see that speaks volumes... in telling us why you are unhappy in Thailand Then you ramble on about courtesy... @lordgrinz should have showed that in the first place, rather than to bear down on the red car and to have used his horn. The red car was far ahead and first in line to make his move. The OP should have been courteous and given him space to pull away. Then there would likely have been a thank you hand wave. That's why someone of us thrive in Thailand, where some of you are full of complaints and grievances.

@ThreeCardMonte...making a fool of himself everywhere he goes.

Seems I'm on your mind @ThreeCardMonte You are missing the point. If they really like you, they don't care how much you have. Yours obviously don't really like you. You depend too much on money and so haven't really developed a likeable character.

MAGA types always sinking to crass abuse and insults when they cannot get their way. That's what you get from limited intelligence. They can only repeat what they are trained to repeat. Beyond that and they are lost.

If they cannot get NetFlix up and running... Dependent on your budget, this is the lowest I would go: https://www.lazada.co.th/products/pdp-i5246735721-s22279852111.html Coupled with one of these: https://www.lazada.co.th/products/pdp-i1943314714-s6158704723.html That will give you a lot more options for viewing, beyond just NetFlix. 3rd Gen is already out, though slightly more expensive, if you can bear it.

Still there: https://www.manze.co.uk There's also a big sign imprinted on the brickwork at the back. I know as I did some training in the gym in the square there.

@kwilco I've been to Peckham. The eel and pie shop was on Peckham Hill Street. What's your point? When did Peckham become racist? Can you explain?

It seems the protagonist turned out to be the poster himself. Another one completely blind to their own behaviour.

It makes sense to everyone else. He took umbrage at your behaviour and decided to challenge you. If you didn't drive aggressively in the first place, nothing bad would have occurred.

Just another gaslighting troublemaker, looking for sympathy. If a woman, her name might be Karen.

Everyone can see that you tried to force your way through aggressively. He was already over the line before you approached, so there was not enough space for you to get through safely. You tried to overtake, when you should have let him pass. He was first, by a long chalk.

No, you tried to force your way through instead of waiting.

@lordgrinz I tell you what, go to the police then, big man 😊 Make sure you turn the sound on when you show them the video. They'll do nothing and you'll look like a fool. Five people have told you clearly now, that your behaviour precipitated the situation.

@lordgrinz I don't have any problems on the roads. I drive and behave courteously, letting people pass and get many positive acknowledgements throughout the day. It's you who seems to have the problem, don't you think? Argumentative and unpleasant. Please improve, at least for your daughter's sake. How many people so far have agreed with me? At least four people seeing the same thing. Why aren't you arguing with them too? Nasty. Fix yourself. It's not nice, what you are projecting. He simply reflected your behaviour back to you.

@lordgrinz You are just showing us exactly how you behave. Inadvertently confirming everything I have written about your behaviour. You don't take the time to consider the point of view of others. You are right in there with your thumbs down and your arguing. I guess you won't stop until someone cleans your clock and then you come crying to us here and the police. Better you learn now. Be more courteous on the roads and in life, even if you think you are right. Be magnanimous. People will respect you for it. Here, you are losing respect.

@lordgrinz Either way, you could have waited the one second it took for him to turn the corner without pressure from you. But you decided to behave in the way that you did, because you thought that you were in the right. But it obviously wasn't the right thing to do. The right thing to do, was to be courteous.

@lordgrinz You didn't need to beep at all, you could have proceeded slowly and calmly, letting him complete his manoeuvre. Simple. But you chose to show him, didn't you? You think MY perception is warped? You need anger management, for sure.

No, the difference, @lordgrinz is that you used your bigger vehicle to intimidate. By your reckoning, he should have just beeped at the people crossing the road and tried to push through them. That would have been emulating your behaviour.

To be honest I just see another idiot who probably doesn't belong in Thailand. Thai people pride themselves on living harmoniously. You could have shown good grace, even if you thought he was wrong. You just made yourself look an unpleasant character. He returned the favour. By your responses here, it seems your norm. I guess you would only have been happy if everyone sided with you. I guess if they take another look at the video, they will see you were the aggressor in the beginning. You had a lot of time to anticipate the situation and to give him space. You just bore down on him.

@lordgrinz Thank you for demonstrating your bad temper to all and sundry. It seems @VR333 came to the same conclusion as I did, at much the same time. Are you going to abuse them too? 100% your fault. I was just being diplomatic. Doesn't excuse his behaviour. But there is no excuse for yours either. Don't go crying to the police, as they too might see what at least three others here have seen.

To be honest @lordgrinz, I agree with @mancub and think that you precipretated the situation. I'll explain... In Thailand and in fact anywhere, driving is give and take. In other words you allow for the imperfections of others. Better to make space to let them pass safely, rather than trying to punish them for not tightly keeping exactly in lane on that turn. That was your attitude there. He was in fact in front of you, but waiting for people to cross the road. Instead of being polite and giving the time for him to complete his maneuver, you tried to force your way through and hit your horn in the process. Rude and doubly enraging. He was first, so let him go first. I would say the situation is almost wholly your fault. You need to check your attitude when driving. Even your daughter could see your aggressive driving behaviour. Best to forget about it and learn to be more courteous on the roads.

@novacova @SunnyinBangrakI'm not overthinking anything. On the surface, you all seem unbalanced/unhinged. I don't think I've ever seen a post with a calm and reasoned discussion with you in it. I'm not involved in U.S politics, but whenever I pop in to see both sides of the argument, I see the same idiots posting the same idiocy. Always the SAME people who claim to be Trump supporters.

@SunnyinBangrak.. Yet another dysfunctional ranter, imagining that everyone else is an extremist like themselves. You aren't a normal balanced person. Understand that. You seem unhinged most of the time.

It always makes me smile when I read idiots from the USA quoting GDP and the stock market whilst wholesale ignoring quality of life in the USA. They see only numbers. But research quality of life for Americans and you see a whole different picture. When I was a backpacker, I would meet Europeans out for the whole winter. All kinds of nationalities spreading their wings, but few Americans. This is why they were known as two week millionaires, as they have few holidays, so compensate by splurging. Everything with them is money, money, money. You see it on the forums here, often. In contrast European countries focus on quality of life. That's something many Americans cannot even imagine. It's like they were born of slavery and think being rich is the only way to buy yourself out of it. Dog eat dog and hating on each other. Therapists and medics doing a roaring trade with those totally dysfunctional people. Writing about the derangement of others, whilst totally blind to their own. All I can say is if Trump represents the best of America...

Cameroni seems unusually attracted to the man, whilst reserving unusual hatred for women. Maybe should look into that...
