Was I victim of a racist assault?

Featured Replies

  • Popular Post

Today I happened to enter an elevator with a lady around 25-30yo probably a poor insurance saleswoman from the folders she carried but not relevant I guess. Well, she was giving me her back and after pressing the floor number she pulled up a parfum spray and sprayed it towards me while coughing to mask the spray noise. I was not ready to react, luckily. As a side note: I don't stink and I'm well groomed. Racist act or she wanted me?

    Yes, it was a racist attack. The woman attacked a racist.

  • You say you don't stink in my experience people who stink often don't notice it themselves.    Anyway i would not read to much into this. 

  • I think she saw how you looked at her when she entered the lift, but you couldn't see yourself.

Be sure I don't stink even after a 40k marathon but I can invite you to try yourself. Let's assume I stunk like garbage, do you spray on people? Try in the UK to spray on a black person? What happens? You go to jail probably for racist act even if he just came out of the sewage

I always remember my mum saying........if you ever catch a whiff of yourself you must really stink to everyone else.

Walked or stood behind a lot of foreigners in central Bangkok in elevators, shopping malls, along sukhumvit and the BTS who reeked.

 

More than likely it was due to this covid. Notice walking along sukhumvit or on the BTS one has the feeling some Thais deliberately cover their nose and mouth walking past a foreigner or head for the opposite end of the train carriage.

Nothing or a punch in the face.

Either you let one rip before she got in, or she was disinfecting the elevator with her perfume, dirty farangs and all that, who really knows, she could be related to Anutin, cough, cough.

 

Edit: Ok, she wants you ????

She wouldn't have stood a chance anyway, too much below my minimum requirements . I think she realized that and decided to harass me as a revenge..

You just happened to be stood behind her and felt it was directed at you, a harmless act totally misread by you in my opinion.

 

Maybe the powerful whiff of male  testosterone was getting her excited so she had to mask it with something?

I think she is just a nutter that thinks she is protecting herself from corona by spraying disinfectant in the lift.

 

She might have been trying to spray herself, and missed.?

It's possible, as other posters have noted, that you are unaware of your own odor. Repeated exposure to a smell paralyses the olfactory nerve.

I'd only take it personally if she was spraying me with durian juice.

Exactly right. She was probably so wrapped in prepping herself for a meet with Somchai on the 9th who kind of looks like Jungkook that she'd blocked out everyone else.

spraying you with perfume because you stink isnt racist.

 

spraying you so you dont get too close to her and give her covid is her being paranoid.

 

posting about this incidence does however, suggest you are a snowflake, no offense.

It says more about her than you, I would not waste a TVN thread or any sleep, over a xenophobe with antisocial behavioural issues.

So if I see a fat person I can throw some broccoli at him and get away with it?

It's not a racist remark. I said blacks in the UK because they are a minority just like caucasians are a minority in Thailand, not difficult to understand !

And while we're on the topic of spraying people, a friendly heads up that 'Devils breath" attacks, -over 100 already- have occurred in Wanchai bar district in Hong Kong. This is a new development, previously such attacks were confined largely to South America.

 

You can best believe it will make an appearance here, if not already, given how things are.

 

Right, back on topic. please just google this and don't respond here, it's just a quick and dirty security PSA to you all.

Are you saying that you're black?

You should smell some of these nasty local nationals (men and women) in my condo elevator every morning. I swear they bathe in that stuff!!!

After a whole day at the beach, yes

She was doing what many people in lifts do these days, turning away from other passengers, for obvious reasons.

 

If she had her back to you, in order for her to spray herself, the spray would have to come in your direction.

 

That chances that she was being racist is next to zero and, whatever it was, it sure wasn't an assault!
