Q: Do you ever scream as loud as you can into your phone while on a crowded bus in China?
Just thought I'd ask, because that's what the Chinese guy next to me on the bus in Brisbane was doing today.
I fear he has done irreparable damage to my right eardrum...
No, never have done that. Hey Traveler sorry about your right eardrum. .. hope you feel better get well soon..
Not just on the bus. I have one friend from back home to whom I always scream "WEI" whenever he calls. When he visited me, he spent less than 24 hours noticing the trend of people yelling "WEI" when picking up the phone. It must seem a lot stranger for people back home if we start a phone call while he is out in public.
when you see them , say "excuse me sir, can you talk louder, the people in the next bus behind us can quite hear you", you have to say it in chinese though, some people laugh once in a while when i do this, usually the bus driver laughs.
another favorite when they check out my money, i say in chinese "its good, trust me, i printed it this morning on the best hewlett packard printer you can buy in china"
No, but I shall commence screaming into my phone on buses as soon as I return!
I tried screaming into my phone while driving my truck here at home, but no one noticed.
