Chinese asshole
This post is laden with F-bombs. If you are easily offended by it, read no further.
The use of the term “Chinese” in this post refers to Chinese from China.
Chinese asshole after clearing custom.
After getting off the flight from Singapore, i waited at the line for foreign passport holders at Narita airport. Each time the line moved forward, i felt someone behind nudging me forward by pushing the Timbuk2 Patrol backpack that i had on my back. So i turned around and noticed this six-foot-four Chinese guy in his 40s standing a little close for my comfort. I don’t know about you but i really do not appreciate a complete stranger sticking to me like glue. I let out a sigh of relief when he realized he did not have the necessary embarkation and custom declaration forms and had to break from the line to retrieve the form. I thought that was the end of it.
Oh no. Minutes later, i felt another bump. The same asshole not only physically pushed several other people waiting in line behind me, he ran right into me. Again, he made no apology. I kept my cool and did not say a word. As the line moved forward, he continued to bump into my backpack. Not too long later, he found out that he had not properly completed the forms so he went back to where he originally picked up the forms to use the pen. Yet again, instead of waiting at the end of the line like he should, he cut right back into the line and bumped into me again. This time, i had enough of it. I turned around, stared at him and told him “Hey, do you fucking mind?” He probably had no clue what i was telling him but my tone made it abundantly clear to him that his extraordinarily rude behavior was no longer tolerated by me. He gave me my space.
This incident reminded me of my first trip in China when i was waiting in line for an express train ticket to Beijing at a Shanghai train station and some jerk behind me simply would not give me my space. So i have a message for this Chinese asshole i met today:
I understand that you are used to lining up in the uncivilized manner that you did today. But you are no longer in China. Your inconsiderate behavior is only adding to the already soiled reputations of Chinese tourists all around the world. Do you have any fucking clue what it meant to be polite and considerate? Can you comprehend with the pea-sized brain in that giant noggin of yours that you do not gain any time or advantage by constantly pushing me forward? You DO NOT rush into a just-arrived train before letting the departing passengers off. You DO NOT spit and dig your fucking nose with reckless abandon in public. If you had given up your spot in a line, you DO NOT force your way back in the exact same spot without asking the permission of all those who are behind you. When you are waiting in line, you DO NOT nudge or push the person in front of you, and when you do, you fucking apologize. Are all these common sense behaviors too difficult for you to grasp?
[...] an eventful first day in Tokyo for me, on top of my earlier brush with a Chinese jerk at Narita [...]
i totally feel your frustration, cousin. My friends and I met those Chinese jerks when we were traveling in spain last year. and how did we recognize them? simply by their rudeness and inconsiderations to others.
Good thing not all mainland Chinese behaved like that jerk. There were several other Chinese waiting in the same line probably embarrassed by him.
