lonewolf99 Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Sadly when the Iron Curtain came down the orderly Communist lifestyle where you were shipped off to the Gulag / Salt Mines for queue jumping for a single potato has ended. I work in a former Soviet republic that will remain nameless for my own safety.....and the only manners I see are ...bad....In 2 years I have never had a "Good Morning / Good Night / Hello / how are you doing from any (male) work colleague. If a local male sees a foreigner approaching he will spit a large mouthful of saliva on the pavement as a form of insult on the ground you walk on.....nice ! There are loads of threads on T.V. that use the word "mafia" ...I strongly advise that no one get involved with anyone from "these particular necks of the woods" and avoid any confrontation ....in the long run a few more minutes in the air conditioned comfort of a 7/11 is better than being dead or on having a hospital bill from the BKK Pattaya....patience is a virtue and I have to use loads of it at home in Jomtien and where I work.....:jap: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SantiSuk Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Better to learn Thai so that you know in future how to say to the shop assistant 'would you mind serving me next please as this [expletive deleted] [racial slur national identifier depeted] has shown his cultural insensitivity and pushed in' Hope that's not to rich for you Rimmer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB1950 Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 It's especially bad at Tesco/Lotus. Sometimes one will jump the queue and then motion for their Russian associates to get in front of them. I usually jump in front of them (the queue jumpers) move their stuff aside and point to the end of the queue. They usually get the idea and the clerk also understands that they jumped the queue.

therealmrbrightside Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 i had the same problem in Family Mart with 2 Thai kids casually walked straight in front of me and plonked their sweetys on the counter....BUT they understood 'WHAT THE fuc_k ARE YOU DOING!!???' and so did the cashier so needless to say served me next.

ignoramus Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Brilliant response SantiSuk, I'm sure you'd have made Rimmer smile. [Meanwhile I am toying with the idea of ensconcing myself in Jomtien, and am horrified that it appears to be attractive to expeletive deleteds]. Maybe Patpong2 is more genteel.

toenail Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 for translation you can go to google and look for translation... you type in the phrase in English and then it will write it out in Russian...and there is an icon where you can have the one word pronounced for you.

mindabenda Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 for translation you can go to google and look for translation... you type in the phrase in English and then it will write it out in Russian...and there is an icon where you can have the one word pronounced for you. Or you could buy a translating device that have voice chips and then you would have the spelling and an oral translation. Multi purpose and should further communication be required...your good to go. The one I bought at Mike's 15yrs ago has six languages including Russian. I only bought the Thai/English voice chip and found it very helpful. I have seen more modern/streamlined versions since. They did not have Tuk Com back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farangpattaya Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 (edited) What is it with you all, seeing Arabs and Russians jump ques. Never, and I mean never I witnessed anything like it, apart from Thais who always think that asking a brief question can be done in between.

Never, and I mean never I witnessed anything like it, apart from the daft Thais who always think that asking a brief question can be done in between. I take it you don't shop at Tesco/Lotus in south Pattaya. At one time, Russians jumping queues was a very common experience. It was beginning to be very annoying. Although I haven't noticed it lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I haven't noticed it lately. my most commonly seen incidents lately have been at the credit card advance purchase desks in the food hall in Festival Central Beach they simply march up the to the desk, totally ignoring the roped off areas where other people queue and wait to be served and thrust the money in the cashiers faces if they try to tell them to use the queue area they seem to curse at them and thrust the money even harder or walk off in disgust you can also seeing intrusions by whole families at the nearby crepes shop one stands in the queue then 5 or 6 more join them this happened the other day at Dairy Queen in Carrefour too, one young girl (with the obligatory braids a la Bo Derrick of 10 fame ) then six more adults joined her when she got served and all ordered away, totally oblivious to the protests from other customers in the line if you were look up ''ignorant'' in the dictionary, i am sure you will find some reference to their barbaric Mongol descendants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
