A scene on subway this morning

This morning, as soon as I stepped into the subway, I overheard, 2 carts away (yes, shanghainese can really speak loud), 2 women were arguing.

Woman A: "Why can't you just line up?!"
Woman B: "Which eyes you see I don't line up? And you think this is pasar? Need to line up properly is it?"
Woman A: "Why can't you be rational a bit? Line up!"
Woman B" "You are weird."

Then... a man, 看不过眼, speak up.

Guy: "Can you two just shut up? everyone is listening to your conversation. And you! (he mean woman B), everyone also don't know about you two, but we all think that she has got a point. Why you don't line up and still can act like you were being bullied?"

The guy speaks in a beijing tone.

Woman B: "I don't understand why you northern people discriminate us shanghainese."

I was pretty amazed by how Woman B can turn the argument totally 180 degree around. From herself being wrong in the first place, now she mentioned that people discriminate her because she is shanghainese. gou li!!! Lulu my lawyer friend, you might want to consider hire her to work for you.

I am just totally amazed this morning.

Shanghainese b-i-tch, I salute to you 100%!

(the above conversation, is of course, all in mandarin lah, just I lazy to type.)

A good sign is that at least some of these people do have civil consciousness.

kai xin, you are damn right. Don't try to argue with them coz they either just ignore you totally (in your case), or they turn even more fierce and people might think you bully them instead (subway incident).

I don't think they are improving lah. please....

btw, I am not able to video cam, the subway is damn packed in the morning, there is no room for me to lift up my arm to videocam.
