I'm not being weak and escaping mannnn. If it bothered me that much, I would rise and change. It just doesn't bother me. I don't want to expend all that energy and effort. I got better things to do with my time (which of course is not evident from obviously taking the time to read through this post and reply!)...I don't live in HK (at the moment) and I guess it would bug me about the bus thing (but my original comment was directed toward the OPS post and not the bus charges). I agree a system like bdw describes sounds well designed indeed.
PS: well we both aren't bankers but work in IT in some financial services company apparently ;-)
PPS: your taxes in blood comment made me laugh, just finished second season of Game of Thrones!
