It’s freezing up North!

Category: Weather

The weather has gone berzerk right here in Thailand! I wasn’t kidding when I last mentioned of cold Bangkok. In the North of Thailand, the cold is getting worse indeed. As quoted by Daily Express: “residents have been waking up to frost after the temperature crept below zero in some areas”. Quite bizzare.

Annoying Traits

I somehow think that my forehead is emblazoned with an “annoy me” sign… People seemed to just feed on my pet peeves, and secretly, I so badly want to give these inconsiderate idiots a real good smack on their heads. I’m especially annoyed when encountering the following:

1. Whatever possess people to continue yakking away between opened elevator door – one already on the inside of the elevator, the other still on the outside and holding up 15 other people in the same elevator who essentially are waiting for these 2 clowns to stop talking

2. People, who, right before stepping onto the escalator, decide to stop right at the mouth of the escalator to either a) discuss things with the person/persons they are with b) wait for their troops to catch up with them. For some reason, they are generally oblivious to the fact that there are people right behind them wanting to either go up/down that very escalator

3. Those who hogs the only working ATM machine around as they concurrently deciding how much money they need to draw and repeatedly draw out small amounts at a time, while 10 other people are waiting in line.

Makes me wanna give a back-hand swat to the back of their heads so hard that their eyes and teeth will pop out of their pretty faces! Is it really that hard to exercise a little bit of consideration, people!
