    What is your pet peeve in HK?

    Title says it all.

    My pet peeve is people getting off the MTR very slow while playing on their phones - Why not take 5 seconds break and exit quickly?
    My pet peeve is people/students carrying big rucksacks on crowded trains- Why not take it off and place it on the floor?

    My pet peeve is people constantly whinning about HK instead of making the most of what you are given :-)

    My pet peeve is not enough threads about pet peeves in HK. There should be a lot more and they should never be closed or removed because someone has a hissy fit.

    Pollution. People walking around looking at their phones all the time (although these days that might just be a global peeve not just a HK one!)

    Yes - I'll bite. What the heck. The city is not perfect.
