Why does my Thai neighbour always say "Take your time" in situations where it makes no sense? What could she possibly think it means?
>>
its buffer phrase for her
>>
She wants your dick
>>
>>70495974
Bitch be after your spice.
>>
you have to ask her, we aren't mindreaders
>>
>>70495974

Take your time to figure it out lad
>>
>>70495974
She thinks that you are retarded and need more time to process things.
>>
>>70496127
What do you mean?

I'll give you some context:

She cooks me Thai food sometimes. I told her today that I'm actually vegetarian.

Her - Really sorry.
Me - Don't worry, you don't have to apologise. I love your food anyway.
Her - I know from now. Take your time.


This is just one of many examples where she uses that phrase in a way that baffles me.

>>70497716
So you ate her food despite knowing there was meat inside?
I assume it's related to a specific Thai idiom btw
>>
Roughly translated phrase that makes sense in Thai
>>
>>70498584
I didn't know until she gave it to me. I'm usually okay with eating food that people offer me that don't pertain to my diet, since it's already been made and it's a gift - but I'll tell the person my beliefs and I'll never buy my own food that doesn't pertain to my diet.
