Tailgating as a national compulsion

Gals with large breasts. Actually, pretty much gals in general.

Oh, I really thought I had read this in Things That I Like. Too bad. Oh well. Come to my town. Unlike other places, guys here are loathe to take off their shirts. What a bore.

Possibly. Not likely. Not many whities in this town at all. And what visiting adult would not automatically look at the cash register themselves if they did not understand? Does a visitor think she is saying "What do you think about the political situation in the US?". Common sense is more present in front of the counter than behind. No, this widespread thinking (or rather lack thereof) and behavior are engrained from culture, not learned from experience.

Cashiers who see your white face, seal their mouth like a clam, and lean *way* around the cash register with their little arm to point at your purchase total. Honey, I'm not the one with a deficiency here. Usually I look at them as if puzzled and deadpan คุณเป็นคนใบ้หรือครับ (You're mute?)

The oh-so-fine Grab driver who was passing though 7/11 at the same time as me this morning. Be still my beating heart.

Individuals and groups of people who stand in narrow corridors of foot traffic and block the flow, oblivious to the world around them.

Sehr gut, but then how much was the shipping? And how does that work in the hot season? I used to manage on one (little) square of their regular plain (50% cocoa) dark a day (by far the best dark of any major maker), and I will again someday if I have to. I at least need one square for after I [cough]. It is my post-nookie cigarette.

Yeah, I get this a lot, Delivered curtly and emphatically with a frown. :- )

In the afternoon, just "Hello" or "Hi" :- )

The stupid sound of saying "Good afternoon" outside of a formal setting. Especially when it is delivered as "good *AF* ternoon".

Presumptuous Thais who say "Thank you" and "SORRY!" just because they see your white face. Presumptuous Thais who think you are dying for assistance or conversation via their backass English just because they see your white face.

Moments of pleasant weather, no matter how fleeting.

At first I saw "sluts and ties" and was trying to figure out the connection.

My doggie lying down to snooze beside me for the duration of my nap.
