[b1d]It's been a while since we did one of these lists so I'll get the ball rolling. Further contributions would be very welcome. [/b1d]
* Your house is worth $300,000, you drive a $30,000 SUV, but your living room looks like a minicab office in a bad area of East London.
* You get sick and don't visit the doctor. Instead you send your wife to the pharmacy and tell her to come back with 3 green capsules, a pink one, two blue ones and one more in a color that you've never tried before.
* You point with your lips rather than your hands
* You speak through your nose rather than your mouth.
* You only ever make phone calls while driving at 80pmh through a built up area.
* You never park less than two meters from the kerb.
* You ditch your comfy sofa and replace it with a highly varnished, luxury hardwood park bench.
* If you are woman, you buy an elegant and expensive pair of mule sandals. Then you wear them with pink and red striped woolen football socks because it's cool season.
* You cycle home from work three abreast on a main road so you can have a nice chat with your friends. Then you act all surprised and indignant when the car at the front of the enormous half mile tail back you've caused starts honking his horn.

-Excursions in excess of 200 meters are never done on foot.
-Your $50,000 Lexus SUV has large, garish letters on the side reminding everyone what kind of car it is because nothing says classy like 12" Lee Press-on letters.
-You stand with others in a circle around the carnage of a car/motorcycle wreck until you are pushed aside by emergency medical staff who will perform CPR with the balls of their feet.
-Getting on and off the escalator at Soriya is the most dangerous thing you have ever done.

Great thread this.
I always loved the original one a while ago with some great comments.
These latest ones are just as valid.
i have been here too long and do exhibit the odd khmer trait.
I have perfected the lip thing and along with some comments,its always funny for khmers.
But I maintain most of my principles when driving a car,the khmers are shockers on the road.
I have to constantly remind them-this is a good phrase....
niek rien bark laan owie dram dtrou-learn to drive fucking properly!
Or-niek jia khmer meun aich bark laan neung ni iyay tolusarp bpayl dtai mooey-khmers cant fuckinge drive and talk on the phone at the same time.
Or my favourites-use discretfully.
Gbal gdtaw-dickead
or

The khmers love this stuff or they may kill you!

* you drive up the wrong side of the road through a red light to make a left hand turn and when confronted with a car turning right on the green look indignant when told to get out of the way.

* you spend $700 on your (10th) mobile phone, even though there's no
food in the house
* you hide things like combs, toothbrushes, socks and underwear in the
last place anyone would think to look because it's a nice game that
annoys your foreign spouse
* you never ask the price of anything at the market until you're committed
to buying it, regardless
* you pay $100 for the answers to your brat's national exam paper, and
then demand the money back when he fails cause the paper was changed
* ' urgent' is not in your dictionary
* you watch mindless karaoke tv re-runs all day
* your idea of where you would go on vacation any where in the world if
money was no object is 'the province'.
* you never answer a question until it's been repeated at least four times
(also a nice game, from the people that gave you ' hide and seek, barang
version')
* you travel to Rattanakiri, have lunch, and come back, all in the same
day: this is your idea of a nice 'day trip'.
* you forgo the nice bed you have to sleep on the floor
* when you are guilty of something and someone confronts you, you smile.
* you drive a moto with your palms facing upward,feet up on the frame,
and lights off (to save electricity).
* you stare at anything new until it verges on rudeness

I had another variation of that one...
* you drive a car worth over $150,000 and live in a million dollar mansion but your total contribution to your children's education is to buy the exam answers at the local "repeat after me" school.
