Which One Are You?

[w11guy]

I've seen all these types of posters here on ThaiVisa, so which one are you...

How many ThaiVisa forum members does it take to change a light bulb?

One to change the light bulb and to post that the light bulb has been changed

Fourteen to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the light bulb could have been changed differently

Seven to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs

One to move it to the lighting section

Two to argue, then move it to the electrical section

Seven to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs

Five to flame the spell checkers

Three to correct spelling/grammar flames

Six to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb" ... another six to condemn those six as stupid

Two industry professionals to inform the group that the proper term is "lamp"

Fifteen know-it-alls who claim they were in the industry, and that "light bulb" is perfectly correct

Nineteen to post that this forum is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a lightbulb forum

Eleven to defend the posting to this forum saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant to this forum

Thirty-six to debate which method of changing light bulbs is superior, where to buy the best light bulbs, what brand of light bulbs work best for this technique and what brands are faulty

Seven to post URLs where one can see examples of different light bulbs

Four to post that the URLs were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected URLs

Three to post about links they found from the URLs that are relevant to this group which makes light bulbs relevant to this group

Thirteen to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers and signatures, and add "me too"

Two to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the light bulb controversy

Five to say, "Didn't we go through this already a few months ago?"

Nine to say, "Do a Google search on light bulbs before posting questions about light bulbs"

One forum lurker to respond to the original post eight months from now and start it all over again

You left me out. I’m the guy who would share an artful photograph of my own light bulb, copied from my own online photo albums.

How many farang/thais does it take to change a light bulb?

(delete as applicable)

Seen something like this before, still very funny.

But what about those of us who just here just to take part in the repartee?

6 people to post humorous comments,

4 people to branch off into a long back and forth discussion of something completely unrelated.

Three to start bashing Thai lighting fixtures.

Three more to tell them they should leave Thailand if they don't like the lighting.

Two to work into the conversation that their SO is very hi-so.

Somehow money and class differences and ATMs are dragged into the thread, also disparaging remarks about men of a more mature age.

Two members get suspended,

Moderator closes thread as it is too controversial.

I think you missed the one to start a poll on the best way to change it and the best brand.............

[mauGR1]

You did left me out, i was the one who changed the light bulb and had nothing to say about that

[StreetCowboy]

A couple of people you've missed out:

I think that would count as work,so we should not be encouraging our fellows to breach the terms of their visa...

Anyway, you can't change things here, that's just the way that it is.
