Popular Post James105 Posted June 25, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 25, 2022 5 hours ago, Walker88 said: Was in a restaurant tonight where people nearly came to blows over masks. The anti-mask brigade are such snowflakes. A man was with a Thai woman. SHE chose to wear a mask as they were leaving. A guy at another table---one of those guys from a futbol hooligan country---decided the woman was violating some sacred law and turning the Universe out of balance and tore into her, calling her a 'sheeple' and all sorts of other things., as if it was any of his gd business what she CHOSE to do. Her boyfriend stood up for her and tried to explain it was her choice, but the hooligan wouldn't have it. Voices rose higher and the verbal exchange became increasingly virulent. A few other folks stepped in to tell the hooligan to eff off and leave the woman alone, and he jumped into some batshoot crazy rant about China and mask production and Big Brother and creeping authoritarianism and all sorts of conspiratorial nonsense that would have embarrassed him if he was sane. It was a revolting display or farangdumb which should get the hooligan tossed out of Thailand. He threw money at his waitress (also masked) and stormed out, perhaps hoping to right other 'wrongs' on his Don Quixote crusade. What an absolute (a whole). Don't want to wear a mask, then don't, but what someone else chooses to do is no gd business of anyone but the wearer. Having to see someone wearing a mask isn't exactly Stage 4 pancreatic cancer. Stop being such a snowflake and let people do what they want. This never actually happened did it? You made this up. People are so used to seeing others in masks now, especially Thai people, I just cannot believe any part of this story at all. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could post 100% of your net worth, I would win (can produce the wait staff at the restaurant), and I would donate whatever you lost to this website. (Mods, let Doubting Thomas put his money where his skepticism is). Oh...got to add...the restaurant has cameras, so there's a tape of the entire incident...... It happened because some bozos decide THEY can tell others what others can or cannot do. These bozos have decided that CHOOSING to wear a mask is a personal affront to the bozos. He ought to GTF out of Thailand, and soon, because he is going to pull that schtick on the wrong Thai woman at the wrong time, and fifty motocycle drivers will womp his sorry backside, as he deserves. It was an incredibly rude and childish display that cast a pall over all the other diners, as the lout also tossed out a fusillade of swears. The clown also used his bully pulpit to scream out about every known silly conspiracy theory in the Universe, indicating he is a sorryarse loser in every aspect of his useless existence. Gee, and to think some Thai people develop a negative impression of foreigners. Imagine that! JFC, some people are 100% a-wholes.

Gaccha Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 I find it so strange that even though we have known since April 2020 that COVID is particularly dangerous to certain groups, there are still no campaigns to inform them and to nudge them to change. The healthy population has made incredible lifestyle sacrifices, has spent in excess of 15 trillion dollars, sending the next three generations into endless debt, plunged into possible stagflation, to give these vulnerable groups the time to sort their #@% out. It's very simple: if you are fat, or have diseases associated with being fat, such as a type of diabetes, or you are unfit, or have a poor diet, then you had an overwhelming moral duty to solve your problems within 2 years. All you needed to do was get your BMI down to 24, go for a daily run, stop eating sugar, eat lots of Vitamin D. 15 trillion. That's how much it cost the World to give you the chance to change your diet and buy a tracksuit. That's 15 Afghan wars. As for the old. They have to follow the vaccine requirements. It is unforgivable to ask of others so much and to not do the bare minimum. The World cannot keep babysitting you. The young and healthy have done so much for you. They sacrificed their futures. You're now on your own. The masks are off. Good luck and good night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coming to work this morning i went through our local market town during rush time. Plenty of people about, every one that I saw had a mask on, apart from two taxi drivers who where sitting on the bonnet of one of the taxis having a chat with their masks pulled below their chins. Went into the 7-11 and again everyone still wearing masks. Thermometer still there and everyone continuing as if the mask mandate was still in place. I don't know what would have happened if someone would have entered without a mask on. I'm presuming that in the tourist areas masks are the rarity but here in Samutprakarn, it's just like somebody forgot to pass on the memo.

I am not going to embarrass the restaurant publicly. I can forward the info to a Mod privately and he/she can decide to forward it to you. I do not understand why you are skeptical. Just read through this thread and see many anti-maskers are irrational losers. <deleted> it matters what another person CHOOSES to do I don't understand. Also, I did not see your subsequent post until now. I edited, but not in reaction to anything you posted, rather just some details I thought might be germane. Apparently you are not willing to bet your entire net worth against my post. That is wise. The incident happened. Not everyone, however, grabs his/her phone to record incidents, especially when they are trying to enjoy a meal. Having eaten in the restaurant many times, I do know IT has cameras that would have captured the entire incident. After the bozo stormed out, one of the wait staff told me the same loser had been calling her 'stupid' and 'an idiot' all night because she was masked. <deleted>? What right does he have to berate a woman just doing her job in a way she feels comfortable? Perhaps he will choose another restaurant in the future, as his custom will not be missed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listened last night to a group of foreign men making jokes of all the walking folks wearing masks calling then Sheeple....tossers all of them, must not have anything else to talk about. That's nothing. I was walking down the street this morning and a big group of masked people let out a collective giant "tut" just as I walked past as I wasn't wearing a mask. Someone across the street (wearing a cape of course as he was a hero) shouted over to them there was no need to tut as the mask mandate has ended. Then everyone who had previously tutted suddenly took off their masks, threw them into the air and cheered loudly. Everybody in the vicinity who witnessed this clapped loudly and engaged in a collective sing-a-long. #metoostorytime 1 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Walker88 Posted June 25, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 25, 2022 (edited) There is a segment of the anti-mask brigade that is hellbent on imposing their beliefs on others, per my FACTUAL anecdote from last night in Bangkok. I don't know what is wrong with these bozos, save for the fact they are probably impotent losers seeking some control over something. That the lout was abusive to a Thai female guest, and as I subsequently learned, to a Thai female waitress, suggests he has manliness issues with what an impish and economical Universe might have handed him. If someone chooses to continue to wear a mask, it doesn't affect me in any way, thus I have no right to tear into them for their choice. Civil society would match that term if the louts would keep their own mouths shut. (I offered a gentelmen's bet to a skeptic, which in no way would benefit me. I guess the skeptic is of modest means and thus fears losing, knowing I did not make up such a story. I'll state it again for those who in need of remedial education: if someone CHOOSES to continue to wear a mask, it is their right and others are welcome to keep their mouths shut.)
