What do you mean? Most hotel rooms anywhere offer a comb with the toothbrush, etc. Sometimes you need to ask for it, but most nice hotels will have them there.sociopath wrote:not using combs in hotel rooms. never seen combs in hotel rooms anywhere except Cambodia. mustn't have nits here!

I think that the locals are rather used to that one by now.Jep wrote:Elephant pants barang watching Sunsets/Sunrises.
But, I am sure the dress code in general gets looks and eye rolls sometimes. Tattooed Australians in singlets, for example, or a woman in a tank top and shorts and jumping on the back of a motodop.
Using your moto/car LEFT indicator, and actually turning left.
Using your moto/car RIGHT indicator, and actually turning right.
Using either of your indicators to signify that you're going to turn and then actually doing it.
Checking that your indicators are working front & back.
Knowing where the button for the indicator is.
Hazard lights ... #mindfuck
Whilst on an vehicle theme ...
Using a mirror for anything other than squeezing spots/putting make up on
Setting the aircon in a car to "Auto" and selecting a preferred temperature. Surely it should just be ON, or OFF like loudspeakers?!! #Dafuq

Politely requesting to turn the fucking volume down at any party, marriage (even your own), funeral , in a bus, in a minibus or at the improvised party thrown in by the neighbour until 3 am pending the monks' joyful wake up chants at 5 am.

Spying for the CIA/ FSB/ ASIS/ TCV/ MI5 etc. Supporting insurrections in the Kingdom. Having long noses and being too pale and untrustworthy. You lose.
Romantic Cambodia is dead and gone. It's with McKinley in the grave.
Save some money today, so you have money left for tomorrow to eat (or whatever).
Don't snack around, so you have money to buy petrol.
Gas up your motobike on time, so you don't run out of petrol during the late night and have to walk your motobike home.
Don't jump into a new business, without overseeing how much money is needed to make it successful.
Not borrow money, because it's always cheaper to pay extraordinary interest rates.
Invite only a few people for a birthday party, when you are tight on cash and don't have enough money for a big party.

Eternally, daily, hourly, moan about why other races/nationalities/ethnicities in their chosen country don't understand what their slang phrases mean.
