OK my number one pet peeve is the toilet thing. especially urinals. I f-ing hate that puddle of piss thing in front of the urinal.
Mosquitos.
-
People who think you should put the toilet seat down for them, because they want it down. Do your own dirty work.
-
Not just karaoke in the mountains at serene, scenic spots, but Taiwanese people yelling at lookout points.
-
And yes, mosquitos.

Mosquitos here are like some mutant form from an evil Satanic cult that tried to destroy Taiwan, but instead figured out a way to make it more annoying.
You can’t kill the damn things. They are impossible to catch. And they bite more than a nasty PMSing girl in a bar fight.
Blah!

the women on this forum will understand this one:
Not only does the following annoy me, it absolutly disgusts me.
I’ve only ever seen this in Taiwan.
Women who don’t wrap up their sanitary pads but toss them in the trash yucky side up.
I also find the way a lot of people here eat, annoying. Especially when they bring the bowl right up to their mouths (or put their head right down to the bowl) and shovel it in… and then have so much rice or whatever in their mouths that they can’t close it so they inevitably have to chew with their mouths open. Why not just carry a portable trough you can sling over your neck the next time you want lou fan?
bushibanned: Amen to both!

Hate people that steal material.

Locals who think their English is so much better than that of native speakers of English that they “correct” translations without resubmitting them for proofing by a native speaker.
Yes, what’s up with that?
Dunno. I’m not ever going to communicate with anyone, ever, when I’m having a dump. I’m not a German porn star, you freaks.
It doesn’t matter if you respond, if you say YoRen, if you know back, whatever. Annoying assholes keep knocking.

I guess I’m not a woman, well since last I checked, but strangely, I suppose, this doesn’t bother me in the least. I did study Chinese medicine and specialised in gynae and obstetrics, so perhaps it’s some vestige of a professional interest. The state of the deposit can tell a great deal to the trained eye.
I find something oddly liberating about the Taiwanese insouciance to all bodily eliminations, and indeed became something of free and loud belcher - sadly, although it took sometime to become free with my emissions, it is not a habit deemed at all high in the Thai world so I have since had to drop it.
But no one, bar no one can talk to me while I’m doing my business. My Taiwanese ex tried that for 8 years. Just how the rude replies of “But I’m on the frigging toilet!” uttered menacingly through gritted teeth never quite got through is just one of many mysteries. Indeed, I find that it does tend to be women that attempt this strange three-way communication. Is it an intimacy thing? Men generally know their place in a toilet, and that is, unless of a certain ilk, to be very mindful of another man’s personal space.

Why don’t we start a thread titled “Which Taiwanese ablutions irriate you the most?”
The toilet is sacred space - it’s about the only place where we are entitled to unquestionable alone time.
Nope. My man is guilty. I yell at him about it. It drives me nuts. If I’m taking a shit, let me shit in peace!!

Just knock back.
Matt
Damned right, and now I think about it, it is the only meditation I practice these days.
Sorry to hear you are also disturbed in this sacrosanct period, SuchAFob, I guess historically I’ve tended to share with women not blokes, so thus my assumptions.

Aaaaak…Gaaaark!
