Dials And Switches - Domestic Discussion Turns Into Ww3

[Dorkers]

just pondering a domestic discussion with my Thai sidekick that escalated into a major event from humble beginnings.

my mindset is that i tend to have a dial in regard reaching my limit. It can gradually go either way, up or down before hitting maximum as opposed to the off/on switch that mrs dorkers has, with no inbetween.

I wonder if this switch could ever be converted into a dial? or a lost cause perhaps?

or is it just a Male/Female thing? anyones partner have a dial? or are they all equipped with the 'switch only' model?

who knows!?!

Not really Pattaya specific so will move into General Forum for lots of input....

perhaps your problem is that she is a dimmer.

Ha Ha ... fair play!

an OFF switch would have to be up there with a reset switch. a self distruct would be most welcome.

A written guarantee that if you're not happy with your model you can bring it back for a full refund or exchange.

Using my great powers of intelligence and deduction, sir, I suppose that you are talking about light switches? And not for instance, an erotic sex toy? The temperature of your shower? Your whiskey distiller?

I think this post should be in the mystery Forum

Wifey definitely has an on off switch of the Thai kind. Off is wonderful and on gets the silent treatment.

Still much better than my mates wife as she seems to be a type of plunger used in mining operations.

I've had a few with a dumb switch.

I deffo have a dial, myself. Not yet had a woman here with an on / off switch, but those dumb switches can be very annoying. Doh on a mega scale

That is located on the Y-Chromosome which women don't have (well in Thailand, some "women" do, but that is another topic).

So no way to find one that is reasonable....Everything related with reason is on that Y-Chromosome.

Mine just has a whole in the mouth area. I heard the ones with switches are really expensive.

If yours is anything like mine, I would vote for a mute switch.

I think the OP means like this though

It's all to do with evolution. When something is not necessary it will fade into non-existance.

You may have noticed that amplifiers in Thailand often have a dial which will allow you to set the volume at a comfortable level. Eventually this will be replaced by a simple on/off switch. After all, whats the point of having a dial when the amplifier is only used at full volume and occasionally Off.

Often is the same with gas burners, either off or at maximum setting.

Your wife is extremely advanced on the evolutionary scale and so her dial has been replaced by a much more convenient on/off switch.

I sort of agree, and have spoken about this many times with er' indoors. She proclaims that she does have a dial, but as a mere man, i fail to notice it sliding up to defcom 5. So to me, it appears Anger On, Anger off. Most definately the dial and switch reverses after the verbal set to though. Takes me a while to get up there, but it turns off pretty quickly; seconds sometimes.Hers hovers around defcom 4 /5 and gradually returns to a simmering 2 or 3 a day later.

On / Off I could live with. Random; its tough lol

[BigJohnnyBKK]

Just a mute button would be enough for me.

[daoyai]

she is probably not grounded (earthed) so expect to be shocked.

Personally, I think many Thai women exhibit classic symptoms of bipolar disorder... the dial or on/off switch fails to work when emotions have exceeded a certain (lowish) level

The locally available dials and switches are all cheap copies so obviously will always be unpredictable.

[StreetCowboy]

I suppose one should be lucky one is deaf.

"Yes, dear. I was just telling my friends here that I was deaf..."

EDIT: She seems to be angry about something, and the worst of it is, its drowning out the commentary...

... oh for goodness sake referee, that was never forward...

"Yes, yes, that's what I thought..."

I wonder if her anger is anything to do with what time I came home last night? I suppose I should ask, but I probably wouldn't understand the answer..

I don't think this is a man/woman thing - more of a Thai thing. I've noticed Thai's in general seems to blow the fuse quite suddenly.

no.

im the dial....... it takes forever to move to danger zone, but when it does its is very very nasty (occurs about once a year at work, once or twice a year with people)but then i reset right away..... hubby is on/off - and a slow restart to boot up again after meltdown. he's the thai one.
