Popular Youtube video in HK about rudeness on buses (hats off to the person who had the courage to film that on his cellphone while it was going on…)
Have we encountered such yelling? Yes, it’s not uncommon, but minus the expletives (thank goodness)
It gets REALLY bad after the 4th minute:

Moral of the story is, don’t tap an uncle on the shoulder in Hong Kong…
Otherwise that’s 6 minutes of your life you’ll never get back as he waffles back and forth at full volume about the rightness of it punctuated by very abusive expletives…
Local friends tell me this is especially common in older parts of Hong Kong where there are more uncles… I am so never admitting I can understand even rudimentary abuse when I’m down there… (Maybe then they’ll just shut up and go away…)
Then they interviewed Crazy Bus Uncle…
