Hard-Fisted Farang!

[Captain Monday]

Foreigners. I was at a BKK bank ATM and a man to my left having suddenly punched his ATM screen so hard I had no choice but to look suddenly. It was a white westerner who said to me then  "It's out of order" in an accent of my country,  U.S.A.  How would you react? I forced myself to avoid making a sneer of utter contempt as if striking an ATM is some kind or normal and simply walked away. The bank was still closed otherwise I would have grassed him to a guard.

Talk about a misleading click-bait title.

 

[KhunBENQ]

The only ATM in Chiang Mai I assume.

[LaosLover]

I'd go with a shruggy, Tony Soprano-esque, "Whaduhya gonna do?

 

No double-way would I be dragging an innocent guard into it who clearly doesn't want to be involved.

What were we expecting when WE did click on it. 555

Don't the ATM machines have CCTV? They should be able to get a picture of him?

I thought that I had logged on into my Pornhub account again.

I'm waiting for the ATM cam footage to show up from my favorite poster, Webfact.

So he hit just the screen and did no damage, is that what your OP is about?   What would you have "grassed" him to security for?

Grassers have to grass, it's in their nature.

 

[IvorBiggun2]

I would imaging an ATM is constructed to withstand the rage of your average user? I can't see the OP's problem.

Same way you reacted....by doing NOTHING.

 

Not my problem, why get involved?   He's MAD in LOS........stay away, that means you picked the WRONG city!!!!

 

Probably CM, I've seen many mad CM falangs in my day.    

 

But yea, if the bank was open, I would have tossed that tosser to the moon and yelled, "Don't hurt the ATM, you are making all falangs look bad!!!!"

 

And they call ALL of us dirty for a reason........

 

If we created a post for every crazy falang on this site, TVF would be larger than the Universe.   If we added pictures or videos.... OMG...... lol

its not so much a problem as an opportunity to virtue signal and demonstrate moral superiority.

Id be very surprised if the whole poste was not a fabrication.

Yep, and then he would probably plant his fist in your face instead of the ATM.

[Photoguy21]

Why would you grass someone who obviously has anger management problems. He will show his anger somewhere else and end up getting a beating.

[VinnieK]

Maybe he had a terrible day and the broken ATM was the last straw.

How do YOU know the ATM wasn't damaged?

You'd have mentioned it if it was...you didn't.

Anybody can have a bad day but I don't think you come to Thailand and start punching ATMs like in the violent broken society one arrived from. Where nothing seems to work. Where just walking down the street and can be deadly.  Was the ATM broken or is he having a card or bank issue? Completely inexcusable behaviour

 

I'm sure a simple criminal check would show this guy has a long list of anti-social offenses to his name and should never have been let into the Kingdom in the first place.

[LaosLover]

One time, my card wouldn't come all of the way out of the ATM slot. And at a 7/11, not a bank where I could get help.

 

I gave someone 100 baht to stand by the machine and went across the soi to a nail salon, borrowed a pair of tweezers (another 100 baht) and plucked the card right out.

 

Did I rage? A bit.

I did not inspect it but there is no way to know without  a complete test of the equipment if this brute caused any damage.

 

He claimed it was out of order though.

Maybe you misheard him and he was was stating that the nearby nosy supergrass was out of order.

"It was a white westerner who said to me then  "It's out of order" in an accent of my country,  U.S.A"

 

So were it a person of color with a different accent you wudda ploughed him?

I'm pretty sure that the point of your OP was to suggest that it had been damaged, hence the "grassing", "hard-fisted" and "brute" (!) references.   

 

Out-of-order ATMs are not unusual, it generally just means that it has run out of cash to dispense.

[steven100]

I wonder what part of Detroit he was from.

[BobBKK]

Grassed him up?  "hey Bangkok Bank he hit the ATM"?  jeeze he was frustrated?  mind your own business?

oh goody, now we are gatekeeping Thai immigration policies. You are a busy bunny! 

[pgrahmm]

Discretion is the better part of valor......

You have a semi-unhinged, angry, & frustrated man next to you that's stupid enough to bash a machine that's built to fend off break in thefts & mounted into a cement wall.....

You're next to him presumably withdrawing cash that he cannot get.....

The best thing to do is nod & leave him to battle with the rest of his day....

[ozimoron]

Most likely he wouldn't have done it had the bank been open and a guard been present.
