FreeTime Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Something I have noticed numerous times at sky train stations where tickets are dispensed from machines arranged in a circle. Thai often line up & wait 5-10 deep at the ticket dispenser closest to the traffic flow or the money change office.If they would walk 3-4 metres, the machines on the other side often have just 2-3 people, and sometimes none. This may not be a trait unique to Thailand, but a universal peculiarity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kojis Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Thai average citizen might well be some seriously slow kind of humanity... but must admit deep America has its hilarious share as well: http://www.nothingtoxic.com/media/1173244185/Guy_Gets_Caught_Cheating_with_his_Step-sons_Girlfriend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreeTime Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 Another behaviour noticed in Bangkok, and this is is probably another example of a universal stupidity found in large cities everywhere. You can have a lineup of stalled cars hundreds of meters long and some doofus near the end starts honking his horn. As if that had any chance whatsoever of making a difference.

Bangkoktraveler Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 [color:red]"BKKTraveller, sadly I have no idea what you have said, even with a decent measured IQ - english wasn't a part of it and I couldn't tell if you would like to marry me or insult me If you don't mind translate it in basic english for dummies like me!"[/color] You had mentioned about a young man being pulled out of school to plant lice. You should have said rice. Typical typo. I picked up on it and being that I was feeling good at the time, added my own twists to the conversation. As for marrying you or trying to insult you, I was attempting to do neither. Just trying to vent some humor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristianTroy Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 Ahw cool thanx for taking the time and explain it to me The last time I heard the word flux it was from Dr. Emmet Brown and they were stuffing waste into a device of a Delorion.

Nervous_Dog Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 <> One thing I notice about Thailand is you NEVER hear the horn, either in traffic jams, illegal u turns, accidents, it's like the whole country has diconected them! DOG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YimSiam Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 Come to Nepal, get your fill of horns... When people drive here, it's like they're navigating with sonar, honking the horn constantly and measuring the reverb... I love getting to Thailand and driving in silence! Has anyone mentioned Thai escalator etiquette yet? Or people who give you the wrong directions rather than admit they don't know where a place is? (Likewise, taxi drivers who drive in circles with the meter running rather than say they don't know where you want to go.) Those are some usual favourites. I had one woman who yelled out during the middle of sex "come inside me, I want to have a baby and go to America!" Probably the stupidest thing she could say, but maybe I'n confusing stupidity with honesty? Or maybe she just wanted me to shrivel up and pull out, in which case she was pretty smart - it worked instantly. Anyway, she was Lao, not Thai.

Flashermac Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 Could be. Thais usually disconnect the speedometer and odometer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanna join me for 5 minutes on Beach Road on the crossing to Soi Pattaya Klang? You basically hear nothing else but horns, some from baht buses trying to get attention, ....as signal to go first, ....and as ranting when someone was cutting another car. Sadly they are not disconnected here, I wish they were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YimSiam Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 Also stupid: putting ketchup on pizza. Not to mention dancing on a glass second-floor dancefloor with no panties on - and a whole bar full of people downstairs! How dumb can you get?!
