SiamBeast Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Best option is to be able to hold the door shut with your foot while you're taking a dump. Most locks are broken anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveAustin Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Why do they drive on the left side in Thailand, UK, Australia and some other strange places?Because the left is correct as derived from the days of horseback travel. Right hand drivers just blindly followed the US like sheep. Something like 2.5 billion drive on the left. As for strange countries, whenever I see the words Swiss or Switzerland I have this wave of bafflement come over me... like what have these awkward folk ever done for the world.
