I ask you (part ii)

Look. I discovered the thing on my phone that makes photos look like polies.

Look at this parking. This is fairly typical. Though there is a perfectly good bike parking area about 1 foot away, this person has opted to park his bike right in the middle of the pavement. Not even parallel to the way people walk. No. Right across the fucking pavement. People will often do this with cars so that there is absolutely NO room to get past and pedestrians have to walk into the road. Bizarrely no one gets annoyed about this and they just shuffle past. Which is a miracle because Chinese people seem to get cross with each other quite a lot. The sight of two women standing in the middle of the road (Ruijin Lu if you must know. Right outside the hospital) yelling at each other while buses and cars wormed their way round them was quite entertaining. Not just for me. Quite the crowd gathered.
I can only think that there are so many people here the only way to stay sane is to think you are the only person on the planet and it is quite within your rights to do just exactly what you arseing well like.
Which in a communist country may not be the wisest of choices.
