Chinese people always have to be as close to other people as possible which gets really annoying. Today me and my girlfriend went to a restaurant which was empty except for 2 tables, she insists we sit at the table right between them instead of any of the 20 other tables. Then she moans constantly about how loud they are being and that they are smoking but won't move to a different table. They all started trying to speak English as soon as they saw me of course.

My dad called me. He doesn't call that much, and mostly relies on me emailing him my news and photos to keep up. He's been living in Thailand for nearly 30 years, and nearly 50 years total across Asia. He's built his own little business empire, retired multiple times, sold or quit his own companies multiple times, and finally retired for good about 5 years ago. He currently owns a fancy apartment near Khao San Road and all the temples and tourist hell holes. He's like me, or I'm like him, and spends much of his time walking around and sweating as a hobby, and I don't even think he owns a car anymore. The point is, he's used to living in Asia among a myriad of cultures and languages. At the same time, he's one of the people that has massive hatred for the tuhaos and Mainland hillbillies that are pouring into Thailand every hour of every day. Since his youth, he's always been one to do whatever he wants or call people on their bullshit no matter where he is, so he takes kind of a delight in ruining someone's day when he can. Anyway, he called me: Him: "I'm just sitting out here on a park bench righ.... look, there's another one!" Me: "A what?" Him: "Another loving tourist bus full of god drat Chinamen unloading these loving people to spit all over the streets!!" Me: LOL Him: "Jesus, I can't stand these loving tourists. Why are they so loud? Everything will be quiet and calm with the Thais and falangs, and suddenly these loving bitches will come in with their YAPPING. My god, the yapping! It's like dogs that want to poo poo!!!" Me: "Yeah, that's how they do it over here." Him: "Why do they always spit? They loving spit everywhere! I never seen anything like it. They just spit and spit. It's disgusting!" Me: "Yep..." Him: "What year is it over there?" Me: "What?" Him: "Why do they all dress like it's 1987? Do they all dress like that in China? They look loving ridiculous! Those stupid rear end visor and fanny packs and those highwater pants. They dress like poo poo, especially the women. Who thinks that looks good? Who'd want a piece of that?" Me: LOL Him: "I tell you, I can't stand 'em. I don't know how you put up with it." Me: "I also don't know." Him: "So, how do I gently caress with them?" Me: "You want to piss them off?" Him: "What else can I do?" So I explained face to him and that if he sees them spit or anything dumb just start yelling and pointing and bring attention to it. If they cut in line, cut back or push them. Etc, etc. He still gets into fist fights with guys less than half his age, so he has no care if people want to escalate. He's like the last of those "I was a teenager in the jungles of 'Nam with people shooting at my head, and I made out alive, so the rest of this poo poo isn't that scary" kind of guys. It worked really well in business, but now's almost 70 and still has too much energy to contain, and he's a lot more cranky that he used to be. I asked him what he was doing to day. "I got one of those apps on my phone, it counts my steps. I'ma do 22 thousand and then go home and watch that Guardians of the Galaxy 2. I got the TS rip and it looks decent enough."

I would blow Dane Cook posted:Holy poo poo someone get Haierdaddy an account. In the US he only drove BMWs or Mercedes, mostly for the safety, so I was wondering why he didn't drive one in Thailand. In Thailand he bought some sort of tank-like steel-framed something or other. Paraphrased: "People that buy fancy luxury cars over here are idiots. Not only do they cost a lot more, so you're a fool for spending all that tax and money to look cool, but you're a fool because you're forgetting where you are. You're surrounded by guys driving who probably can't even read properly. You're surrounded by people driving without licenses, and the people who do have licenses didn't get much of an education about driving. You're surrounded by guys driving cars, trucks, and taxis they don't even own. They probably only own scooters back at their house. If they crash, so what? It's not their problem. It's your problem. They don't give a flying gently caress about you. Look at the way they drive. You don't buy a nice car to drive alongside this poo poo. You might be a good driver, but it's not about you at all, it's about everyone else on the road. You buy a car knowing fully well that some jackass is going to crash into you, or you're going to hit someone else because of their driving. That's all there is to it. You buy a car that saves your life and, if possible, destroys the other car if you hit them. Most of the cars on the road are plastic and tin cans and shred the second you get a minor impact. You get the toughest, heaviest thing, and you own the road, because some day someone is going to hit you. You don't want to look cool. You want to be alive." It's kind of general car advice, but you can apply this philosophy to a lot of actions and things in Asia. Thai drivers are still absolutely insane, but it was even worse before. Chinese are obsessed with brand recognition for everything, but in many ways they still forget they are swimming in a sea of poo poo and it doesn't matter at all, and their face obsession is utterly useless. He got into quite a few fender-benders with his car, and gloated every time that the other cars were definitely ruined while he could continue driving his. His favorite was some lady speeding out of the car sales lot without looking at oncoming traffic and he T-boned her and totaled the car she hadn't even paid for yet. She literally had 0.X on mileage counter.

My dad was in Nam too and essentially has the same outlook on things. It's kind of heart breaking when they really start slowing down. My old man's 79, and the vigor is just leaving at an alarming rate.

Steakandchips posted:Glorious. More Haierdad stories please. He was in his early 40s at this point, already a multi-millionaire by his own efforts. He made a few business partners, and it was like a comic book. There was the huge, buff dumb guy that did as he was told, the shrewd greedy guy that could plan for everything (he was the most Jewish stereotype I have ever seen), the medium guy that financed and ran the operation (my dad), and the henchmen who worked selling the products and unloading the trucks. This team could get all sorts of stuff done when they set to it, and my dad started with only one location selling stuff to tourists, to later having many across the island, and expanded into more stuff. He was generous to his workers that they could charge whatever they wanted and keep the profits. If he said "sell this for $5, no less than that, and I get the $5." then they could sell it for $6 and keep that $1 profit. Instead of hourly wages, they just did that. Guys would walk away from a day's work with $200-400 cash in their pockets, in the late 80s, early 90s. He kept having to fire guys for being in on the cocaine craze and working like a bunch of crazed coke heads. So, people he knew would come to him with business ideas and it would be like Shark Tank, except in a garage in a fancy part of Hawaii. It would quickly go to Shart Tank as he would tell them the terms for paying back his loans, but many people would accept. He never expected people to run away with cash, and people were usually good about returning the money, so he didn't have much plans for trying retribution on under-the-table finance where police and courts should definitely not be involved. One Friday he picked me up from elementary school in a brand new white Miata. This was the early 90s, so these were still cool, and I was like "WOOOOOW DAD!! SO RAD!!!" We drove around in it instead of going to the beach like we usually did, and he was trying to force this thing to its limit. We tore around all these hilly areas at top speed until some deep valley it suddenly poo poo itself. He starts laughing, the engine is smoking, and he lets it coast to a curb. He told me to sit in the car and wait while he walks to the nearest pay phone to call someone to pick us up. A half hour later he arrives with the brawny man in one of their delivery vans, and they take me back to my dad's house to stay for the weekend. I never saw the car again. I asked him about a few months later and he said "It wasn't my car." I asked why he was driving it. "Some guy owed me some money. I wanted to scare him." I asked what happened to the car. "I just left it where it was, I don't know. Maybe the police found it. I didn't lock the doors." A few months later, during summer vacation, I woke up to some noise in the house and the garage. I walk out to see tons and tons of awesome stuff. We were having a garage sale. I was stoked, because my dad always took me garage sales and I got Ninja Turtle action figures and new swim flippers and stuff. I was looking around and I didn't recognize any of the stuff he was selling. Me: "Hey dad, these toys aren't mine. Where did these come from?" Him: "They're yours now. Take whatever you want!" Me: "OHH MY GOD!!!" *Commence little kid buzzing with excitement at Christmas in July* Me: "CAN I HAVE THESE ROLLERBLADES? WHAT ABOUT THOSE POGS. LOOK AT THAT HAT!!!" Him: "You can have all of it." Me: "OH MY GOD, THESE ROLLERBLADES ARE TOO BIG BUT I WANT THEM. I WANT TO LEARN HOW TO ROLLERBLADE!" Him: "Ok, go play up the street." Me: "Is that a real ninja star!???? OH MY GOD. ARE THOSE SHARK TEETH????? BASEBALL CARDS!!" Him: "Take whatever you want." Me: "WHERE DID YOU GET THIS STUFF????" Him: "Someone owed me some money, and this is how I decided he would pay me back." Me: "What do you mean?" Him: "He went somewhere, so we went to his house and took it, and now we're going to sell it." Me: "Wow!" I got the realization for a moment that all this cool stuff belonged to some other kids. I was a little shocked, but my dad is one of those guys that never thought kids needed to be hidden from the realities of the world around them, so I accept that this is what he did, and I could get some benefits from it. Those kids had some really cool oil-slick pogs and glass slammers. About a year later he sold his US business and retired to Asia for few years.
