Like the Forum Lounge in the Everything Else forum, we can use this thread for everything that isn't really thread worthy on its own. Things that happened to you that you feel like sharing. Ridiculous shit about the country you are living in that makes you livid. How your Russian girlfriend's ex boyfriend came over and threw a Molotov cocktail through your window. Articles you come across about how all Thai women are hookers, whatever.
I'll kick it off with something I thought was funny, but didn't really have a place to post it as it wasn't thread worthy.
A month ago I had to go to Cambodia for a quick border run. A few of the girls on the bus knew me because I'd used their service before, though none of them are attractive.
On the way back when we stopped at a mini mart the head chick in charge asked me for my number to give to her niece, who also works there, who just turned 18. The girl isn't cute at all, so I just said "Sorry, I don't think my girlfriend would like that very much." with a grin.
The lady then goes "Nooooo! She too young! She only 18!" so I make a joke about 18 being my favorite age.
The 18 year old then butts in and says "No, I just want to practice English for University."
A second later she says "I thought you like man?"
I was like WTF? I've never had someone ask me if I was gay before. I don't give off that vibe at all. So I say "Why would you think that, I like women." and I'm cracking up.
She looks at me and says "Because you big and strong. Look like gay man." hah.
Here in Thailand the Thai dudes are mad skinny and weak, and it's mostly gay Thais that work out that have good bodies. Tons of fit dudes at the gyms here in BKK are gay as they come. Normal Thai dudes don't work out at all really, but gay dudes are all about it.
Guess I'll take that one as a compliment.
Anyone else? What you got?
