Went to my regular pharmacy on Sukhumvit at soi 15 at 9 am this morning before my daily bike ride to purchase some stuff. I have been visiting this place and have known these people for years. I special order medication monthly and stop in often. 

 

I was trying to explain to the pharmacy lady that I wanted the larger package of an item. She kept giving me the small version as I said, "No, the large one-- large," a few times until it registered. 

 

Apparently a clean-shaven, over-cologned, and freshly-barbered British fellow down the counter with his wife with his wife took exception to our conversation and my tone.

"Say please to the woman, mate,"  he said in a fairly strong accent that was not RP.

 

"Please mind your own business, mate," I responded, mirroring his tone, surprised at the interruption.

 

"if you don't say please and apologize I'll take you outside," he said,

"No you <deleted> won't," I answered, surprising myself.  "I have better ways to spend my morning, you should too."

 

I turned around, ignoring him as he stood there chest puffed up.  I continued talking to the pharmacist.

 
The whole time his Thai wife stood behind him looking at the floor.   

 

They paid, walked out the door and the pharmacist asked me, "Do you know him?"      

 

I said, "No."

When I ventured outside to hop on my bicycle, I was expecting another confrontation, but he was 100 meters up Sukhumvit on his way to terminal 21.

it was a truly bizarre interaction.
 

Who goes out spoiling for a fight in a pharmacy at 9 am with their wife in tow?

Some nut job who was looking to start <deleted>...wish it was me, as I love to teach Brits a lesson....being a Yank, we love to fight.

Bloody farangs! "Why do we bother?", thought the pharmacist and the wife.

How do you know the pharmacist wasn't the lady?

Do you know 'the wife' was female?

Going by the original text the author wrote "I was trying to explain to the pharmacy lady"

As I re-read it I realized my error, so she might be working for the pharmacist as cashier but he did say lady.

The usual lunatic Farang grumpy, who then complains when he gets a punch in the face

Coprophagy is the scientific term for eating feces. It can refer to eating one's own feces, or the feces of another animal or species. The word comes from the Greek words kópros ("feces") and phageîn ("to eat").

I never liked Greek food.

But am quite fond of sex Greek style

Common sense says you should use words that a Thai (or any other non-English speaking person) would easily understand. 

 

Why say 'Large' when you know Thais would more likely understand the word 'Big'? 

 

Empathy and politeness cost nothing. 

Yes, "large" doesn't work in 7s either. Always "Yai" or "big".

Another drug buy gone South

 

Foreigners fighting over drugs.

 

Disgusting

 I wasn't rude to the woman, the dude jumped in out of context. I know the woman. I have been going in there for more years than I care to count.

I ask you again: is trying to pick fights with strangers at 9 am in a pharmacy instead of minding your own business acceptable behavior to you even if i did come off as abrupt? 

 

   The British guy may have been security .

The Pharmacy may have been expecting you to visit and also expecting  you to be abusive , she may have asked one of the real friends to be there to confront you and you get you to behave ?

I have actually intervened a couple of times when the customers have been abusive to the staff, and they didnt have anyone to back them up.

 

Especially one Time at Centara in Hua Hin, a new girl was shouted at by two guys for minor mistakes, and as useall, the orders can take long time to be executed. The other staff didnt do anything, so I told them to behave.

 

Either he misunderstood the situation, and was a lunatic (offer you a beating outside) or you where out line.

Brits do say mate but only to someone when they actually are a mate. Aussies say it to everyone because a large number have an extremely limited vocabulary and/or are too intellectually challenged to actually remember anyone's name. I think that is the main difference.

We would only say it to someone we are actually married to...  and so I thought, you guys were all a bit funny. Been on the ship for too long.

Coprophagy is an existing word, coprophagocytes isn't, it's just something you made up.
 

Phagocyte is an existing word. What are you, the grammar police?

 

I wasn't aware being creative was a hanging offence on ASEAN.

You mean like the creative “facts” you’re so fond of? Those are always a hoot.
