Q: What's the strangest thing you've seen people doing on buses/subway?

Clipping nails is a common one.
Once saw a guy shaving with an electric shaver in the bus.

I've seen people ignoring other people. I'm talking about the elderly, sick, pregnant or women with child. That's strange to ignore those people and not offer them a seat.

whoever marks thumbs down must have obviously been guilty of doing this.

Many people sleep on busses/subway but it is strange when they put their head on a strangers shoulder. They think they are at home and the strangers shoulder is their pillow case.

People that give other strangers funny looks is strange. A person trying to take two seats by putting their bag or groceries in the seat. angry

LAR:

"A person.................in the seat." That's just being inconsiderate and selfish.

more than once I have seen female digging in the ear of a male with those little coke spoon thingys....      I thought that was kinda odd behavior , but I seemed to have been the only one who thought so... 

Stiggs:

I remember watching a girl at a bus stop squeezing zits on her boyfriend / husband's back once, He was a big fat guy and she had his t-shirt pulled up so his gut was hanging out. He was standing there with a blank look on his face like his mother or her did this everyday for him - probably before they dressed and fed him -  and I was thinking 'now I've seen it all'. Lol I just hadn't been in China very long at that stage.

I know this an old thread but RoobyRod's question made me think of the guys I've seen in waiting rooms, on buses etc shaving with a pair of nail clippers.

A:Good question!  I'd say, if you study at Uni in China beside working full-time as an E.T. with Residence permit, you don't interfere with your full-time employment.It's your free time and you can do anything you want, with respect to the Chinese laws and customs. Have a look at terms of Z visa/Residence permit and ... ".. you cannot work (and earn monies!) with another employer ..."That's all it is! Your RP sponsor title is written on the RP stamp in your passport, I think. It's in Mandarin, so I've heard about that from someone ...At I.D.-ing by cops, they know where you work and than more details about you are just a phone call away ... and it happened in person ... LOL ... during the day-time stroll through Wulumuqi, Xinjiang, 2012/13 semester. Now under RP, you're free to surf Internet, jog, ... and study, too. I suggest, you look and ask at the Uni, you plan to study in the future. Have a detailed look at requirements for studying and attending chosen Uni.Good luck! -- icnif77
