KarenBravo Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 1. People that type LOL. Do they really laugh out loud when they type LOL? Thought it was only spotty teenagers that used it. 2. People that use the word "loose" when they really mean lose. 3. People that use the word "defiantly" when they mean definitely. 4. People who say that we are "guests" in Thailand. That kind of implies that the Thais are hosts and should behave like one. 5. All the tired old cliches such as "sex-tourists can't get women in their own countries", or, "never invest more money in Thailand than you can afford to lose". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cypress Hill Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 People starting posts with the word "So"; eg - "So, I met this girl on Sukhumvit at 4am. Is she . . . ?" No problem with it starting sentences elsewhere in the post. Just another annoying trend from the same stable as "like, toad-lee" or "dude".

StreetCowboy Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 The capitalisation after an apostrophe in the title of a thread The auto-changing to a bloody smiley - I mean b ) without the space. The way I keep on getting stuck with a text editor and no drop down menus. I'm quite happy with three pet hates; I would struggle to look after any more, and their whining would probably annoy the neighbours SC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangkokhatter Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Must admit i hate LOL , ROTFL ( really ? ) and all the others that you see and not just on here. One for here must be member fan clubs or mutual appreciation societies that tend to gang up on some posters if they don't suscribe to their view or calling troll, again just because their view is different. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post chrisinth Posted September 6, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted September 6, 2012 Posters who consider themselves forensic scientists when they aren’t. Posters who think their influence will alter Thai politics Posters who aren’t good at trolling but repeatedly start threads OP’s who demand sources for information from posters on their thread who are agreeing with them but I defiantly agree that we as guests in Thailand should be careful and never invest more money in the country that we can afford to loose. We should open our arms to the unfortunate sex-tourists who can’t seem to get women in their own countries and make them feel welcome as they provide income for our hosts, the Thais. If they happen to be spotty teenagers, all the more reason. LOL.............. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
