"Ask Rocinante, he says he would never want a woman who would even consider a gringo for a mate. And he should know."
....

He should know what???
and, why??
And, who really cares?

you don't wanna even go there, esanch...................we'll have a mob on our hands and some will show their willingness to kill the next m.f. that cuts in line...be they old, young, male, or female. there'll be a resounding 'death to line jumpers'.

having dealt with this issue in countries across africa, middle east, parts of europe and india.............hands down...and if you can beleive it.........even worse than nigeria..........colombia is the world's line jumping mecca.

farther back in my youth, early on in colombia. those mensajeros with their back backs and piles of shit to do in the bank. or those old gals that feign priviledge for ugliness or age or something. i used to actually make an ass outta myself my yelling at them to get the f outta line. (oviedo, BIC) way back, that tiny littly bancolombia office in the middle as you enter oviedo at the bottom of the road, that was all the farther oviedo went. that was it. and pablo's office condo that's biodegrading across ave poblado (oriental) was just being completed (sort of ) and the condos were $55,000.00 us, about 1,800-2,000 sq ft. a really good deal. boy am i glad we didn't get into one of those. we thought about it.

like i said, kurious, i used to really blow it...especially in the banks. but the line jumpers and shape shifters just drove me nuts. now, if we have to shop in poblado or envigado..........i leave it to the ladys and won't even go. up in llano, no problem. i just shop in the mercado in gualanday and everyone knows everyone and any one of those gals can crowd me. and the dudes have too much class to pull off that mensajero shit up there. you can even go hang out in the pizza parlor with your friends and give ricardo or his sister (owners of the mercado and panaderia) a note of what you want and when you're finished b.s.ing and drinking, your groceries are packed and ready to go. hassle free shopping like wal mart or wall street could never come up with.

some of those f***ers just shmooze in infront of you and swoosh they materialize with out you even realizing it. i hate em, and i don't hate much. but after you've spent 30 min in line in a bank it triggers subliminal sicario tendencies deposited deep beneith our functioning consciousness and we want to lash out.................KILL!

Shortiao says on Sep 14, 2009, 23:55:

so, as I've pretty much always expected - its cool to write Gringo and throw it around like a term of endearment. However, as soon as you write other equally offensive names, you get your post pulled.

Congratulations Desi.

dan....................never ran into the shape shifters? just smoothe into the lines in BIC (bancolombia) and there, right before your eyes, they materialize right outta the mist. the proverbial line jumpers, the worst being old ladies, uglies and mensajeros.

Shortiao, you're welcome but you're thanking a wrong mod.
AND, it's not your standards that we use to judge which words are appropriate to use on PBH, we do try to have a little wider view.

back in the day when oviedo was no bigger than a drive through restaurant. the BIC had the worse lines in the world. and those damn mensajeros with their back packs full of papers would think they were gonna weasel in front of me in the line.

NOT TODAY DUDE! i'd make such a ruckus that everyone in the bank stopped what they were doing and focused their attention on me and who ever had the misfortune to be the focus of my attention. i even did it to old ladies. i could not believe that lack of courtesy of those people. as far as the old folks were concerned...all they would have to do would be to look at me as if to ask if it was ok. but no, they just play the shape shifter shit and think that i don't notice that they and their ugly house maid were just gonna 'appear' in line in front of me. there were even times that i physically moved them to the side. and the wierdest part was, the fricken colombians put up with that shit. me? never.
