Why are farangs rude to each other?

Sadly they do.

I've got about 7 pages of 'haters' blocked.

The trick is to recognise their new incarnations quickly after they're banned.

Then block them as well.

Can they respond to your posts?  If so, that doesn't seem right. Maybe a word to admin could fix it.

  • I find that many of the westerners I come across have some quirks about them, or are total nutcases to be honest... Not all, but many... Thailand is a place for many misfits..

  • So many I've met, within a few minutes tell their amazing lifestory, which amounts to bs.   Socially inept misfit, who come here, & continue their daft lives.

  • And I apologise to all here............................

Nothing wrong with going off topic. I agree, it's when some people always want the last word and think they're right when they're obviously not that's annoying. 

Its when you know they're right that you get really annoyed. Eh, Mr plastic Jock?

It all began with the developement of the spoken language, where folk could

at last exchange ideas. At that point each person was able to see everyone else

was a nutter, and hubbies saw that wives were all crackers, and wives could

see that hubbies were all stupid. So since then the human race declined into animosity.

Ok, thanks. Pity it's not like Facebook when you can totally block someone. 

Rather ironic when people are rude on a thread such as this. 

That thought occurred to me as well. I believe it was Oscar Wilde who said a gentleman never insults someone unintentionally. Plenty of intent on TV, and permit me to doubt they are gentlemen.

He’s Corpus Christie now. You can’t miss him., same ....... person , different name 

 

Hes got a new hobby of taking photos of closed shops. The train spotting got a bit too racey  for him

Yes, after 14 years I have come to the same concIusion finding it best on the whole to politely give most a wide berth. When encountering such 'characters' I often say to myself with a smile: 'They all end up in Thailand'. But hey! Maybe Im one of them...555.

Someone (elderly German) once told me 'you're a very bad man'.

I replied, 'I've never pretended to be anything different'.

The ones that I find funny are the ones that won't say where they are from.

 

I saw one in my gym and asked him where he was from. He said, "I'm from Khon Kaen, I'm an oldtimer, been here for 8 years." 

Never told him how long I'd been here buy said "strange, I've never seen you". 

Then a Thai friend walked in and we started chatting in Thai and the <deleted> didn't understand a thing we were saying. 

Another funny story -  I was in Primart on holiday to the UK and overheard a Thai woman saying it was too cold and she was scared of farang. I shouted over in Thai, "no need to be scared" and asked her where she was from. She said "Aberdeen" and run away.

I recall being told after arriving that this was the land of faring mercenaries, missionaries and misfits. I have found this not to be so in entirety but ... they are here.

Do you have f##ting competitions with her? Ours are based on decibels, duration and frequency. I win on the decibels, she slaughters me on frequency. We draw on duration.

Don't go there with odor.

Damn, it's a conspiracy. Everyone wants to get me off topic.

Remember, I said what is confided in me stays with me.

OK, I get it. If I had 1000 baht for everyone on TV that claimed to be SAS, Delta Force etc. I could buy a new Merc or Beemer instead of driving a humble Vios. Which, I might add, is a damn sight more reliable.

Is everyone on this thread united in getting me off topic?

Why would you say that?

 

How's the weather?
