flyingtlger Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 I went to see a movie yesterday at Siam Paragon. There was an American fellow that sat a few seats away from me. He was obnoxious and rude. When the movie started he put his feet up (with his shoes on) on the chairs directly in front of him. Then he would laugh annoying loud or blurt out some stupid comment all throughout the movie. Fortunately the movie was relatively empty however it was pretty obvious that the other customers (mostly Thai) were annoyed by his behavior and antics. I don't have a problem with someone enjoying a movie but this guy went out of his way to be heard and to be obnoxious. Furthermore, during the movie he got up, stepped onto to his chair to jump over to the back row and helped himself to the sofa chairs that are more expensive. This is exactly the kind of behavior that gives foreigners in Thailand a very bad reputation...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgrahmm Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Yes, unfortunately it is.... It also comes in all shapes, sizes, colors, genders, and nationalities..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duanebigsby Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 How do you know 100% he was American. We can generalize all we want but when people start saying, "Americans are this or that, Thai,Nigerian,Canadian,English and on and on are all like this," it just sounds like stupid stereotyping. You met an ass. Who cares where he was from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impulse Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 He may have been irritating, but hardly the epitome of anything. Had he puked red wine all over the theater, groped half a dozen women and fought with their boyfriends, then crapped in a urinal (and missed), he'd barely make it onto the ugly list. Good rant, though. Feel better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

55Jay Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Sounds like a real winner. Maybe drunk/stoned or something? Who knows. Kind of reminds me of the outrage Thais raised on Facebook a few months ago (posted on TVF) about the Euro back packers on long haul bus trips in Thailand.

He had several Masters degrees and was working on his second Ph.D in computer science. He was an amazing guy, and his Nigerian friends that he'd bring to the house were truly wonderful people. That said, I still don't trust e-mails from Nigerians... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gecko123 Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Native-Americans, African-Americans, Mexican-Americans, Canadian-Americans, Vietnamese-Americans, Indian-Americans, British-Americans, Australian-Americans, German-Americans, Italian-Americans, Russian-Americans, Chinese-Americans, Japanese-Americans, Thai-Americans, etcetera, etcetera. Good luck trying to paint with the same brush such a diverse group of people who just happen to share the same nationality. I've met foreigners here in Thailand (mostly British, but by no means restricted to just them) who act like you have two strikes against you the second they discover you have American citizenship. I just shake my head in dismay when I encounter such provincial and rather unintelligent attitudes. The smart way to go is to judge people on their individual characteristics, not their nationality.

moontang Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 14 trips to LOS, and London to Bangkok was the smelliest, rudest bunch ever encountered, quite a few with a tour group...everything but the flag man.

Anyway Adolf, I think that if you follow subjects like science you will note that the Jews and Chinese produce a lot. But on the other hand, I doubt you are clever enough...unlike the Joos and Chinese.... But hey what do I know,I'm just a rootless cosmopolitan. Why are you here sport,don't you know that the Jews control this website as they do all other media? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moontang Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 But, when they say the Japanese are the Germans of Asia, that is generally meant as a compliment, unless you hate sanitation and neatness, good machinery, and efficiency. Maybe that explains the popularity of the Nazi gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
