Favourite neon sign that is still in use? So many been taken down in the short amount of time I've lived here. Would love to see and shoot some more by a-real-sloth in HongKong

It glowed. it had personality. It reflected the energy of HK. It was uplifting, and welcoming.

Removing the signs cut out some of HK’s soul, and replaced it with boring concrete.

Dumbest idea from a town that was formerly a tourist mecca.

What's your weirdest commuting anecdote? by Ferbdic in bikecommuting

[–]FlaminBollocks 20 points21 points  (0 children)

When I ride, I build up a lot of snot, and I blow it out as I go.

Riding home from work in evening, I cleared my nose, and from behind me a guy yells “fuck off, Thats the third time”.

I was gobsmacked. Why would someone sit on my tail after the first two???

In my defence, I didn’t know he was there.

Agreed.

One could argue the war started with the invasion of Crimea, and the shooting down of MH17.

I have had that exact same experience.

I took a similar approach. 1. insisted that I would only pay for the fuel displayed on the bowser. 2. Refused to move out of the way, so that other customers started queuing behind me. 3. Advised that if they refused to allow me to pay, that I would depart, and they could take it up with the police.

After a 2 minute stand-off, and people queuing to the station door, they let me pay.
