Being held up by checkout staff having a chat with her friend? Yawn loudly several times. Embarrasses the h___ out of them, LOL.

I tell them "jep shee shee" and they lose face and check you out much faster.

Meaning ?

(I really don't know that term)

.

He needs a piss

He needs a piss

...

I don't know if you are taking the Piss ... but great answer ...

.

Someone PLEASE change the topic to "how to embarrass yourself and/or Farangs in general."

Then it matches the content.

Also, it's 'Puad Chee', not 'jeb shee shee'.

You guys better be 9 years old.

Jep chii. Actually you would lose by saying the equivalent of I need to go pee pees. Something like 'check out, dai mai?' would be more suited, or the face loss approach for both parties would be a loud H E L L O!

Lose what?

jep shee? Where the hell do these people learn "Thai"? Doesnt your Mrs correct you or is she happy to see you make a fool of yourself?

I just fart really loud and smelly with a smile on my face.

Works for me.

Would a direct translation of 'OMG, I'm touching cloth' work at all?

So to embarrass a check out person you tell them it hurts when you take a piss? (in baby speak no less)

With all due respect, you sound like the 'friend' in front. Some of the people behind may be on their 20 minute break between 2 7 hour shifts but so what, who cares.

If its a 7-11, I just piss in those trays of mints. That gets them off their phone fast.

Works every time. I am not Thai, so why the hell would I lose face over a silly 7 year old language skill? I actually bend my knees while saying it. All you politically correct folks here (kwai?) need to lighten up a bit.

Not really sure what you mean.

If the girl was really ignoring him in a rude manner, then that is fine and I have no problem with him trying to call her out for it. If she was on her break too, then fine. But there would have been a 'please use the next counter' sign there too.

But one of the suggestions was to embarrass her by implying you have the clap in baby speak. I'm not sure that really is a good move.

I appreciate being somewhat understandable if/when I attempt a language. Politically correct.. huh?

Also, I actually tried to help you with language.. ('Jeb shee shee' sounds like you have a medical issue.) Anyway, going through all that trouble and I should lighten up.. mkay..

But anyway, in a situation where people should speed up and I want to be a bit sarcastic about it, I'd say something like "if it's not convenient right now I can come back tomorrow?') Though to be honest I find most staff in most places very hard working. And that goes twice for 7-11 staff in nightlife areas, having to deal with drunk idiots. (present company excepted of course, just ranting a bit.)

I think you'll find that political correctness has nothing to do with many of my responses on this thread, or anywhere on thai visa...

Wish I could fart on cue...

Chitty is my hero.

So checkout staff still sitting at the checkout position eating thier lunch perhaps?

Whatever it takes for someone to do their job I will do even if it means I have to turn up in a chicken costume. If someone is chatting away to their friend instead of doing their job then you can be as certain as certain can be that using 'excuse me sir/ miss' is going to be as useful as a chocolate fireguard.

Entirely satisfactory. Trouble is I don't think Thai people are that embarrassed anyway, yesterday I was in a hospital waiting room, there was a guy and his very attractive female companion waiting also. She disappeared to the toilet for 15 mins then came back and stood talking too him, he told her to sit and she said (not quietly) my bum hurts. Wow! Not shy then?

One of those situations where I live I a different Thailand to you blokes, 'excuse me' works perfectly fine for me, and I suspect, many others.

Fair comment and I'm only a noob really at 14 years.

Just start scanning the items in yourself.

Still haven't picked up your watch that works on local time?

Irritating as it is to all of us important people, social niceties make the world go 'round in Asia. Accept that and you may not even need that blood pressure medicine. I know my day goes better when I accept that my way ain't the only way.

So I'll be a minute later. At least I won't have to spend the rest of the day in my head constructing my rationalization for being rude to someone just living their life.

Doesn't bother me to be honest. I change my watch which will be 6-7 hours (UK) minus 30 years when I land and that's it.

Do you happen to hold shares in CP?

Slow day it seems .

Should ask them for a chair to enjoy their conversation from.

I just leave the trolley with the items in it at the checkout, and go home. Then i tell the TGF to go and do the shopping
