maybe not so uncommon. Our change goes into a jar, anything 5baht or smaller gets donated to the temple, tens are acceptable for me to use when I am alone.

and not irritating, more amusing.
A fixation on 'order' in the bathroom, all bathroom/toiletries/whatever must be arranged in order of height. All very well except 95% of it is hers; I learnt to look more carefully the day I started to brush my teeth using 'eucalyptus and tea tree' face cream, packaging a similar colour i thought to toothpaste. Nothing like frothing at the mouth . . . trying to complain and just being laughed at.

Picking my spots, like some kind of monkey; adding she wouldn't have to do it if I drank less

Just back from the local Carrefour. Heres an interesting trait which although not irritating is peculiar. We've lived In Bangyai for over 3 years been to Carrefour at least 140 times but she still can't remember which escalator goes up to the car park. Always heads for the wrong one and is surprised it's going the wrong way. Never happens at any other store , just the local Carrefour ? Strange one.

She's standing behind you while you type. Right?

My wife suffers from the same mental block that every other Thai I have ever met has.

And that is never, ever, whilst my arse points to the ground and I won't hold my fvcking breath, being able to say sorry when they are clearly wrong about something.

Apart from that she is perfect!

Wrap up 10x1 Baht coins into little rolls with sellotape, seems to be an Isaan thing, I'm always getting passed them back as change when I buy something.

Probably her utter and complete inability to put things back where they came from. It must be genetic.

A couple of generic Thai things too-

Dead right LT, never admits when wrong. Stony silence is the nearest thing you'll get.
Hates being pinned down, pre- committed to do anything.
When hungry, must eat Now. Gets very moody otherwise.

That gesture by the government to help the people is really dumb.

Now, instead of having 30 people sitting comfortably on each bus, you have 100 people crammed onto each free bus and 2 people on each pay bus.

Ha, nice thread.

Lying on the floor with a small mirror and manually picking off each under-arm hair with tweasers when I'm watching something.

Speaks in Thai for 10 minutes about something that took 3 words to translate.

So fukn load cleaning etc, bash bang, when I'm trying to get over a hang over.

Will go to extreme lengths to save 10 bt on an item, losing out in time and gas in the end.

I gave up trying to know where anything might be. Whenever I know she finds a new place to hide it. So instead I just ask without even looking first. Which in turn annoys her.

^Does that apply to your money too?

Hot blooded and so cute it is getting impossible to take her out.

HaHaHa, Fuckin A, Ive given up looking, if i want/need something i just ask the missus to get it for me, she gets real pissy bout it too !!!!

Getting really annoyed when I grabbed a water bottle off the kitchen counter (yeah, yeah, it had an orange ribbon on it, but how was I supposed to know it contained blessed water from eleven different sacred spots gathered at specific times of day?) and dumped it into the fish tank because it looked a little low.

Her most irritating trait is not being willing to voice an opinion
on what she would like to eat, watch on tv or do when we go out.
As much as I like that it is "up to you" I do want to know what
she wants. But, wait why am I complaining, she is an angel
compared to the demanding American women I've known. Strike
all that, she has no faults.

It's like a constant treasure hunt at our place as nothing is ever put back in its spot and where it belongs.

My wife is a great cook but sits like a stone fish at restaurants when its time to order the food. Frustrates the fvck out of me.

Watching a movie and the wife sits down and starts talking on the telephone and expects me to turn down the tv. Of course I dont and turn the tv up until she moves.
Get treated like her private driver and left in the dark until 5 mins before she plans to leave.
Works and cleans all day and tells me I am a lazy fok

My wife's reaction to being hungry is very much the same as my 9 month old daughter's.

Strange one this...

When I'm hungry, I think "Oh, I'm hungry, I'll get something to eat"..I don't lose the plot and start spitting fire at everyone who crosses my path.

Interesting creatures these Thighs.

Yeah mine does this too - and she'll keep talking louder and louder until the TV's at a ridiculous volume and then she turns around and gives me a dirty look.

Ha ha ha Same here.

If were going anywhere the moaning order usually goes. I'm Hungry, My legs hurt from walking, I'm cold, Cars making me sick, Your driving too fast, I'm full my stomach hurt, I'm tired can we go home.

Yep, the TV thing happens to me.

No ability to understand that the plane WON'T wait for us.

My first wife ( Thai ) was the same. I was a courier at the time and she used to come with me on long runs. Almost as soon as she got in the van it triggered a " I'm hungry ' reaction and eating my packed lunch didn't hit the spot for her. In the end she got to taking a box with a mortar and pestle plus all the ingredients in the back of the van with us. Then as we sped uo North on the M6 she would be happy as a lark in the back of the van, making up Som Tam at 80 mph. I kid you not.

Another thing they all do is wait until we are about 5 minutes from home before announcing .... " I need to take a pee "
