    In Sheung Wan 98% of people are wearing masks when casually walking around. When I go on an evening run in Sun Yet Sen park, joggers and people exercising aren't wearing masks. Maybe 75% of people casually walking are wearing masks.

    I for one am suffering from serious mask fatigue.

    If one tries that on me, I will insist that repeatedly touching the mask to take it off and put it back on is just helping to spread the germs and is totally inappropriate approach to the mask-wearing.

    Another time before: Tamar park the security nazi's are the worst and clueless, they love to pick on the helpers but usually stay away from White folks. One grounds keeper who wasnt even in uniform was shouting at our kids which was a big mistake as suddenly he had 4 big blokes on him, surrounding him and giving him shit, he kept trying to show his LCSD badge but you dont go shouting at kids, he was complaining that one of the kids had them shoes with a wheel underneath it and it was destroying the grass, he wasnt worried about the 50 people nearby on the grass doing evening aerobics class. He was also shouting at the kids to put on their mask LOL

    We shooed him off with a few Diu Le Lo Mo after he started shouting Go Back to your own country. That took the biscuit as all 4 off us have been in HK for 30+ years LOL. so we told him to go back to China haha.

    So much fun and games to play with idiots.
    Threatening to smack people around and swearing at guards all in front of your kids? Great example you seem to be setting.

    Definitely great example not to be bullied by useless pricks who think they can bully non locals especially non whites. Explained to kids to tell parents if some RANDO comes shouting at them and that the idiot trying to harass them was WRONG. Lesson they understood well.

    Go back into your white tower and keep getting special WHITE PRIVILAGE treatment as long as it can last LOL sooner or later some idiot will tell you to go back to your country as well

    HK is full of self-important little rule Nazis who try to bully people they see as weaker than themselves. I've had my son told directly (whilst I am standing next to him) that he can't eat in the non-paid area of an MTR station (pre-Covid), and I've seen security guards come out of high end fashion stores to tell to tell helpers on their day off that they cannot take photos on the street outside.

    This sort of bullshit will result in a total bollocking from me, directly to the person who who starts it, then probably escalated straight to store/station management, especially if my son is there to see it. I do not want him to grow up thinking that it's okay for adults to try boss around helpers or little kids, people who are weaker or smaller, without consequence.

    Letting people get away with this crap, or letting 'someone else' take responsibility for sorting out trivial problems between grown adults, is exactly the sort of thing that leads to this sort of idiocy:

    Talking to them and explaining to them in a calm and peaceful manner would be the route I would go, but that's just me. I wouldn't be getting drunk in front of my kids and swearing at people and threatening to give them a beat down.

    Also, I'd need to be white in order to get white privilege.

    Around us there is still fairly high compliance I think (except me, I take mine off pretty much any time I am outside). At Golden beach, many people still wearing when they walk along the back of the beach. Around Tuen Mun, most still wearing around the shopping streets. 100% inside - shopping centres, buses etc. I notice that workmen tend to take them off but not many others. My husband constantly nags me to wear mine. I just ignore him.

    Yeah, I mean, I'm kinda in the middle. We do need to stand up for ourselves/what's right/against bullies, but Chuckster is getting close to Karen territory. Not saying he's a Karen, just saying that he's trending in that direction.

    Apparently it's ok for him to smack annoying Chinese kids but totally inappropriate for a Chinese employee to yell at his kids. Indeed very consistent...

    Are you sure? 100%? Really?

    Matt, don't suffer so that unvaxxed muppets can feel safe in their bubbles of ignorance. Just stop wearing them. It's perfectly possible to avoid wearing 99% of the
    time. The cops will not bother you, I repeat . . .
