mainlanders agitating as hell RANT
It's been a good 4+ years since coming back to HK . Not too long ago, there were a few mainlanders, they did their thing but not in droves like today. I never realized how rampant the problem was until this last trip.
I stayed for a few weeks and in such short time I was irked a good amount of times. I'm going to just rant about them because , just because.
They stink. Straight up, they fucking stink. Not all of them but a majority of them smell because their clothes never dry. Smells like piss. On the elevators, on the trains, on the streets, on the buses... they simply smell. It's very distinct.
Once I was waiting for an elevator. There was a family of 3 waiting too. I was there first. So we're on the 2nd floor going up and the elevator is packed but enough for 1 more easily. Instead of letting me go, the father blocks the entrance. I am saying excuse me profusely and he just fucking stands there. Mind you when 1 of the 4 elevators "dinged" they rushed over to the door first and blocked me. The door closes and off it goes. I'm asking him why he didn't let me in. He said that he didn't know I was going up. Man o man. I was like, why the fuck do you think I am standing here? I asked if he was insane. His wife and son simply stared at me. Next elevator up , they went in, I just waited for the next one because I was fucking fuming.
Another time I was getting on the bus. It was one of those shuttle buses from the hotel. We're completely full and ready to go. In comes 8 mainlanders and squats in the isle. REALLY? LOL the bus driver says I can't go, I'll get a ticket. They say don't worry, it's the first stop. For 5 mins they argued until the driver simply left the bus and waited outside. I bitched, some vietnamese bitched and the other mainlanders couldn't understand what the problem was. Eventually they got the message, 20 mins later. Making every one late.
Ocean park. Waiting online for the carousal with my nieces. In comes a grandma, a son, a grandson and a grandaughter barreling from the upper areas. I'm staring at them cutting people left and right. They've skipped at least 60 people before reaching me. I'm like "hell no" I scream in mandarin that we're all on line! Grandma says, "we're on line too!" steps in front of us and says that's where they are on line! LOL... the fucking nerve. I say NO, this pretty girl was in front of me and this pretty girl was in back of me, you skipped all the way from the top. They denied it. Simply denial makes it fact. The china girl behind me finally says something and eventually we get them to the back of the line. This happened again with a group of 20 somethings, casually walking past people as if they had a license to skip. Again I needed to scream nice and loud. They got the message and went to the back.
At disney, mainlanders laying down on benches while pregnant women are trying to find a seat. It's their god given right. I got up from my shady spot and offered my seat to the prego lady. She thanked me profusely. She too was a mainlander. She said, you're such a good person. I said no, people are innately good, beasts don't offer seats to pregnant ladies while facing the direction of 2 mainlanders lying down on the benches.
My cousins told me there were more before. I can't imagine how many more because trying to cross the street in TST was an adventure on it's own.
My beloved HK. My beloved HK culture. It's all gone.
I feel sorry for the locals. HK is pretty fucked up right now. I can't imagine living there with the locusts. It's gotta be hell. Even places where the MTR doesn't go, there are many of them. Taking up dim sum seats, spitting everywhere and simply destroying the essence of HK. | |
