Underneath it all I'd say just as may farangs are as guilty of spinning them yarns in my experience.
100% true. Probably more bullsh_it is heard by the average BG than told by the average BG.

things that make you go hmm...
--- What about a guy who has been visiting BKK for years and has had countless rides on BTS, yet never noticed until last month that the exact place that the doors of the train open is marked in the pavement! Who could that be?  Hey, the Denver subway does not have these markings?
--- When you approach a pack of moto drivers on the corner, what system do they use to determine who gives you the ride?
--- Why do Thais think it is not logical to take 30 seconds to cross the street to get a taxi going the correct way you are headed, thus saving a lot of time?
--- A BG spends energy to send daily SMS messages, you call her, tell her to come over at 4:00pm, she doesn't show, you call her and she says "cannot come, raining too much". Then next day, she sends SMS message "You not call me today, you not want to see me, you not like me". Hmmm.

1 - Complete waste of construction work and the promotion material because Thais simply don't adapt to these rules.
I actually still keep myself to this behaviour, with the result that I am always the last to get in...
2 - Very simple... it's called a motorcycle queue. If you look careful there's a wooden plank with hooks and keys. The guy who arrives last, adds his key to the end of the row of keys. The guy who's key is at the front is the winner for the next trip.
(Sorry Smegs, to have stolen your beer)
3 - It usually pays to spend a few minutes and baht more to get safe in the right direction instead of crossing the street and avoid cars.
4 - I work, it's your pleasure....

...hmm, why...
would a dude bring a hot looking gal into a backwoods restaurant/bar in a foreign country, then go ballistic when the soused men around him dare to LOOK at her, then stay there - NONETHELESS - to FURTHER instigate a screaming match with one of the foreigners in the midst of all the foreigner's friends, spit in the guy's face (allegedly), and punch him out, then simply walk away thinking how cool he is, how he showed those 'dummies'...and THEN not expect retribution?
Hmm, why???

Foodland has something popular on the shelves, then quits stocking it because people keep buying it, necessitating them to re-order and re-stock it. Too much work. Easier to just quit selling that item.
If business is slow, raise the prices to make up for it, rather than lower the prices to attract more customers.

Maybe you been in Thailand too long when you do ANY of the following:-
• the footprints on the toilet seat are your own.
• You no longer wait in line, but immediately go to the head of the queue.
• You stop at the bottom of the escalator to plan your day.
• You habitually punch all the buttons as you leave the lift.
• It has become exciting to see if you can get into the lift before anybody can get out.
• You're willing to pay to use a toilet you wouldn't go to within a kilometer of at home.
• It is no longer surprising that the only decision made at a meeting is the time and venue of the next meeting.
• You rank the decision making abilities of your staff by how long it takes them to reply "up to you".
• You no longer wonder how someone making US$200 per month can drive a Mercedes.
• You accept the fact that you have to queue to get your number for the next queue.
• You have considered buying a motorcycle for the next family car.
• You accept without question the mechanic's analysis that your car is "broken", and that it will cost you a lot of money to get it fixed.
• You find it saves time to stand and retrieve your cabin baggage while the plane is on final approach.
• You think that Pickup Trucks are a stylish family vehicle.
• You walk to the pub with your arm around your mate.
• You walk into a five-star hotel lobby unshaven and in jogging shorts, ratty t-shirt and flip-flops, without worrying what the management might think.
• You answer the telephone with "Hello" more than two times.
• You are quite content to repeat your order six times in a restaurant that only has four items on the menu.
• A T-bone steak and rice sounds just fine.
• You believe everything you read in the local newspaper.
• You habitually ignore traffic signals, stop signs and copy-watch peddlers.
• If when listening to the pilot prove he can't speak English, you no longer wonder if he can understand the air traffic controllers.
• You regard it as part of an adventure when the waiter exactly repeats your order, and then the cook makes something completely different.
• You're not surprised when three men with a ladder show up to change a light bulb.
• You think it is normal to wait six days to get your laundry back or pay 50% surcharge for same day service.
• Taxi drivers understand you.
• You own a rice cooker.
• You consider that 5 kb/s is a pretty good download speed.
• Due to selective memory you honestly believe you could return to the western world.
• You can shake your hands almost perfectly dry before wiping them on your pants.
• You look at a pin-up photo of Demi Moore and think that she is rather unattractive.
• When crossing a busy street you believe that a limp wrist motion with your right arm creates a force field that repels oncoming traffic.
• You keep a supply of plain brown envelopes in your desk drawer.
• You understand all of the above references!

Oz;
You've summed it up perfectly.
- You give way because the oncoming vehicle flashed their headlights first.
- While upcountry, you no longer brush the film of mosquito larvae and scum from the klong jar before showering or brushing your teeth.
- You have your own favorite spot of floor at the dining mat.
- You think of seasons by the species of bug that can be caught and eaten.
- Not only do you have a rice cooker, but a clay bbq to boil rice when the power goes out.
- You think sleeping until you are hungry, then eating until you are sleepy is what life is all about.
- You understand what Oz is talking about.
