fey Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I am just a random guy on the internet and could be lying about the whole thing.That would be my guess. Why would someone make a story like this up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FritsSikkink Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Why not post his photo so the next tome I'm in BKK I can hunt him down and shove him UP the escalator!why not post his own pic so whe he pushes again when he is late for his salad, we know who to smack on the head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazza40 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I would have thought it's easier to stay away from large crowds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbrando Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 Sometimes we all get wrapped up in our own little worlds. all that matters is our "mission" whether that be buying a salad or going to meet your buddies. It's probably a good thing that you recognise your behaviour may cause others to react in a way that could end up in poor outcome. I'm sure the other chap has had time to recognise his own poor behaviour too.. In an ever more crowded world we need to show more tolerance to each other. I get hacked off with slow movers too.. even when not in a hurry I like to move swiftly. I've even been admonished by my own friends for being bolshie when moving through crowds ALA Richard Ashcroft.. I do try to be more passive now.. well done for seeing it for what it was and accepting that perhaps you could do better, as we all could. More Jai Yen Yen less it's all about me. Seasons Greeting to all readers. Cheers and thanks for the wise words and good advice. Today I had a chance to practice my new jai yen yen attitude while making my way through the crowds and it felt much better - lower blood pressure, friendlier interactions, and no getting slapped in the back of the head. Have a great 2016! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbrando Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 (edited) No good ever comes out of eating/buying salad... 100% agree, though in my personal experience, going to Burger King is even worse. Cheers and have a good holiday season. Edited December 30, 2015 by fishbrando Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbrando Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 (edited) in the heat of the moment it's so easy to get angry and pleased this didn't develop into anything more I'm not. I wanted to see some action, preferably with ripped clothes, and sobbing. Let me guess: you also wanted to see them driven before you and maybe hear the lamentations of their women? Cheers and have a great holiday season. Edited December 30, 2015 by fishbrando Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishbrando Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 Why not post his photo so the next tome I'm in BKK I can hunt him down and shove him UP the escalator!? Thanks for the support mate. As much as I'd love to see him get his comeuppance, posting his pic would definitely go against my jai yen yen resolution for 2016. Happy 2016!

fishbrando Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 Why do so many pathetic losers find Thailand attractive? Not enough drama in your own benighted country?

fishbrando Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 Op, you're not in your home country Be careful as a bullet or beating won't cost much This episode has hopefully taught you a lesson Calm down please Take things slower You're certainly right about the bullet or beating...those are pretty easy to come by in this country. Lesson learned. Happy New Year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypress Hill Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Hitting you like he did was tantamount to assault. You can't let people take the pi55 and you were right to pull him on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob13 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 (edited) Two things I'm confused about: 1) For him to smack you like that you would have had to hit him pretty hard. Hard to bump into somebody that hard and not know it. 2) Who was he and how does that make it OK for him to smack you?

Thanks for the support. Yeah it was battery alright though honestly it was no big deal. I would have been madder if he had spit on me (also battery). It's a fine balance. On the one hand, as you said, you don't want to just let bullies do whatever they want and get away with their bad behavior. OTOH, health and living another day is nice too.

Hard to bump into somebody that hard and not know it. 2) Who was he and how does that make it OK for him to smack you? 1) I honestly don't remember bumping into anyone that hard. Either he took my slight bump as an insult, or it was much harder for him than it was for me, or someone else hit him and he thought I did it. 2) I don't know who he was, but I know what he was...

willyumiii Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 (edited) You sound like a very aggressive and confrontational person. You will not last long in Thailand. Maybe the safe thing for you is to get out now. Before the next one, who may follow up...if this one doesn't do it first. Life is cheap here and the life of a foreigner is even cheaper, The police do not care ( he hung himself with his hands tied behind his back. case closed! ) Good luck with that attitude.

As he would like to see you get yours...he may be working on it right now.. Revenge is often served cold and by groups in Thailand. I would at least leave town for a while. Maybe the country!

Rob13 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 (edited) A guy smacks you in the head and you go after him. Sounds pretty normal to me.

tubby johnson Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 The OP's aggressive and pushy attitude is a heart attack waiting to happen. Or a well deserved beatdown. All that aggravation for a salad! Jai yen. Go with the flow. You're not in your home country anymore, but you're new to city life so learn to get along with others.
