......but are not surprised by them anymore when they do happen.
Mine?
In line at the ATM. Person in front of me puts her card in and reads EVERY option on the screen. Checks her balance and ejects her card. Puts card back in, reads EVERY option on the screen AGAIN, and finally gets money and ejects card. Gets receipt and stares at it if its a 500 word essay. Gets another card out (maybe friends???) and goes through the same process again.
Riding the escalator and the LARGE group of Thais in front of me get off, stop and don't go anywhere. They look around as if confused on where to go. I need to get off the moving escalator, but can't. Or another large groups approaches the escalator and just about gets on. Suddenly they come to a stop, have a discussion and decide not to get on. I need to get on, but delayed as usual.
Arriving at the airport late from a long international flight. I am moving along through the chute to meet Mrs. Chi. Suddenly the Thais in front of me screech to a halt in the middle of the chute and begin wai-ing and presenting each other with wrist flowers. Worse than traffic in Silom on Friday at 5pm! Easy to get hit in the ankle by a luggage cart coming up behind you.
These are things I used to wonder about, but they happen so often its not a surprise, but rather to be expected.
Anyone want to add to the list?
