I feel guilty, I quite often eat a tube of Mentos while on the MTR. I've seen the signs but never thought too much about them. I think sub-consciously I've seen far too many other people eating that my brain must have justified it.

If I was on the train I would have defended the woman from the mainland against those scum. As if Hong Kong people give a shit about eating on the MTR...how about not dropping plastic bottles in the country park or smoking everywhere or jumping queues...etc. Hold a freaking mirror up.

Do you have some kind of problem with me? It's beginning to get weird man.Original Post Deleted
I use the MTR all the time and I agree, I've hardly ever seen anyone eating on it. In fact, I've seen westerners eating on it and nobody said anything. I think it's the way people are approached that's the problem. It must feel very intimidating to be in a foreign place and have the locals start shouting at you for something that is quite normal where you're from. Try putting yourself in her shoes. She's alone, in a foreign place with her kid.

this can NOT be any further from the truth. my wife and i have seen locals eating on MTR, including east rail. and no, we did not confuse mainlanders from locals. nobody was saying a damn thing in those cases.Original Post Deleted
