香港公交车上招港人烦的香港乘客

香港地铁上香港人因为内地小孩吃东西与内地游客的口角，被扩大化解读，俨然已经成为两地“文化和文明素质“差异”的典型案例，有愈演愈烈之虞。其实，部分香港人乘坐部分香港的交通工具，也一样会出现部分不文明或者违反规定的行为，也会有部分香港乘客表示不满，未必什么都能提升到文化或者文明的层次。去年8月美国CNN旅游频道Go就发表了一篇报道，题目是Pet
peeves on Hong Kong public transport（香港公交上的小毛病http://www.cnngo.com/hong-kong/life/10-worst-behaviours-public-transport-637826），说的大都应该是香港本地人的小毛病，当时香港中通社还做了翻译报道。
CNNGo想起做这篇报道，原因是当时有一名香港女郎在地铁车厢内当众敷面膜，被其他乘客拍下来引发网络热议，CNNGo以“人人都在讨论这张照片”来形容“面膜姐”事件，称
“在香港搭乘交通工具，可以看到更糟糕、更令人讨厌的行为”。这十大“小毛病”中，排在首位的是在公交车上剪指甲，剪指甲不仅发出扰人声音，而且旁边的乘客还必须时刻防止
乱飞的指甲屑，“只能希望剪的不是脚指甲了”。该文章作者说，更发现有香港的巴士司机会在车厢内贴出“请勿在车厢内修剪指甲，面斥不雅”的提醒。除此外，被该网站认为最烦人的行为还包括开大音量听音乐，大声说话，强迫他人作听众、港铁乘客身贴扶手杆即兴表演“钢管舞”、在车厢内大声打电话、大庭广众之下若无其事地化妆、让小孩用塑料袋小便等。

Pet peeves on Hong Kong public transport
Nail clipping, pole dancing, potty training: The things we have to
put up with on daily commutes!
By Suye Chan, Tim Cheung
The price of beauty, paid for by fellow commuters'
disgust.
Last week, everyone was talking about that photo of a woman
who applied a beauty face mask on the MTR. Commuting daily on
public transport, we have seen far worse.
Below are 10 of the most annoying things we endure on an
almost daily basis in Hong Kong.
'Please don't clip your nails during the
ride.'Clip... Clip... Clip...
Nail clipping on public transport tops this list not just for
the annoying sound, but the ensuing fear that looms within us when
we hear it. When we hear the sound, we instinctively try to locate
the origin of the irritating clipping sound, and before we can
react, a nail clipping, possibly enveloped in germs, could be
flying straight toward our face. There are much worse things than
eating a stranger's nail -- but it is pretty bad. We can only hope
that it isn't a toenail.
In-house DJs
When we're trapped next to a fellow commuter listening to
mournful Cantopop at top volume, it can be pretty annoying. When
there is a hard-of-hearing granny on our other side listening to
Chinese opera also at top volume, it is almost enough to make one
schizophrenic. Keep volumes at a neighbor-friendly level and we'll
have fewer insane people on our trains and buses.
Pole dancing
Never heard of 'pole dancing'? It's when a commuter on the
MTR leans on a pole with their whole body. Either they have crushed
the knuckles of whoever else is holding onto the pole, or forced
other commuters to contend without a handhold on the swerving
train. Because, you know, everyone else is too polite to ask you to
move your body off the pole.
Public announcements
Every day on Hong Kong’s public transport, there is someone
overly generous about sharing their domestic problems with others.
Most of these people have hands-free devices and are speaking on
the phone at the top of their voices, like the infamous “Bus
Uncle.” Their conversations penetrate our earphones, forcing our
inner psychiatrist to judge them and their mundane
issues.
The wonder of makeup
It’s confusing. Five minutes ago a passable-looking lady sat
down next to you, fives minutes later, Zhang Ziyi showed up in the
same spot in the same outfit.
Everyone appreciates beautiful things, it’s human nature. But
if we could just hold onto our tweezers, brow pencils and lash
curlers until we reach our destination, everyone would appreciate
it. These stunts with sharp tools on moving vehicles can be a bit
frightening.
The harder you push, the faster you
go
It's survival of the most thick-skinned during rush hour on
the MTR. The idea seems to be that if we can't fit on the train,
we're just too embarassed to push others aside.But once we're in,
we don't want to move further in to create space for others waiting
enter. The result is an unnecessarily crowded area near the sliding
doors with the weak getting left behind on the
platform.
Potty training
We’re not sure of the best way to potty train a kid, but
using a Ziploc bag on public transport might not be the most
considerate way. First of all, excrement smells bad, even
if the kid is on a steady diet of rice gruel and carrot mush.
Second of all, poo-poo and pee-pee is just not cute not matter what
the kid looks like.And however much the parents love their kids,
this kind of public display of affection is beyond normal hygiene
tolerance thresholds.
Did you pay for that seat?
Strong, healthy men are often seen seated next to their
backpacks that hog seats which haven’t been paid for. It also
happens with ladies and their precious brand-name handbags. Sure,
the leather tote might be worth more than our net worth, but after
being cradled in your arms all day, surely these handbags don’t
feel the exhaustion the standing elderly do.
Odor. Any odor
We can understand the smell of B.O. on public transport
during Hong Kong's sweltering summer.
But, we have to grumble a bit about the smell of herbal
ointments, barbecue pork rice, tuna sandwiches and B.O. combined.
It's a killer scent. If we could keep the eating to places where
there are tables installed and keep public transport an odor-free
place, that would be great.
No such thing as a free massage
After a long day at work, you finally get on a bus and out of
sheer luck find a seat that doesn’t have suspicious stains on it.
Just as you’re about to lean back and rest your eyes, your neighbor
shoves his knees up against the back of your seat, giving you a
sensation of being prodded in the back by two eerily moving
objects.
