The government (and everything they stand for).
teggsnose:
And...the Black money payments that goes on at all levels of government here.
Kaiwen:
Just eliminate the lot of them and most of the other things brought up in the rest of the thread will disappear with them.
The bullheaded arrogance.
I would say 'don't give a shit/meiguanxi' attitude people take to the things they do (nothing is so important, or easy to do, that you have to give a crap about getting it right on the first try, right?), but that is probably just my pet peeve of the day, since it sort of bit me where the sun don't shine recently.
The people.
I can live with restricted internet.
I cannot tolerate being pushed back on to the metro train, for example.
CARLGODWIN1983:
Someone's on the down-voting pretty quick. Clearly the board or a spy are not too happy.
Fk em!
teggsnose:
I have just thumbed you up...
Also I agree with your gripe but want to ask - why is it ok for them to push us but if we retaliate they get all pissy !??!
CARLGODWIN1983:
We are foreign. They don't like retaliation, and they don't like being put in their place.
The mentality that ripping people off is clever and never wrong.
order the chinese army to execute every person who blows a horn on a bike, car, bus, and truck tomorrow. shoot them and drag the body to the sidewalk. i loathe the horn blowing here more than anything.
Not to mention...the ignorant old folk. I got into a lift the other week with an old couple,so just the 3 of us and this old guy just broke wind,so loudly.
I almost gagged ! - why do it !???
Peasants + + +
That Horrid noise they make before they spit !!! I do not know what to say about it. Just I cannot easily think of Any behavior that is more Disgusting ! It blows my mind how that developed here as Acceptable, Encouraged Behavior !
I would pay to hear the young Chinese females (10 - 30) express their true feelings regarding this. I mean, this is Their men. Their future/current partners.
sorrel:
sorry to say this habit is not only confined to men..... sadly I've seen women (some not so old either) make this noise and then hock a large gob. Such classy ladies
ohChina:
And their fathers and grandfathers too, dude. It's not sex exclusive.
The gubbermint. It is their fault people fart and honk.
Get rid of the men, keep some of the women, Wait, that won't work, I've worked in offices with only women. I dunno, bottle some of the heat and save it for winter?
Replace all so called Chinese English teachers with the real thing. Give the kids a chance!
The education system at all levels. Until this changes for the better nothing else will improve.
I agree I'd say education. I'd include more afterschool actifivities...
Scandinavian:
afterschool activities to rob the children of the small remainder of their time ?
Follow the same principle like Metro in all the bus station in english . Its very struggle to take the bus. ( such as Station Name in english, and english board and stop name in english and chinese will be fine)
To say "sorry"
seriously some people dont know how to say sorry. they step on you,push you away but the never say sorry.what a bad habit...
Traveler:
Why should they say sorry when they have pushed or stepped on you deliberately. It is to show you that you are a lower person than them.
I just push back, but I am usually bigger than they are, so it has more impact.
