Last year, since I'm Chinese-American, I was talking to my Chinese co-worker in English on a flight within China. Suddenly, the young Beijing woman next to us began yelling obscenities at us. Turns out, she was upset that we were "showing off" and being "un-Chinese" by speaking English. FMCL

Last week, our night bus and a truck got stuck at a hairpin curve. Instead of trying to quickly resolve the problem, both drivers took a 10-minute smoke break followed by five minutes of cursing at each other angrily, causing a traffic jam of at least a kilometer on a mountain road. FMCL

Right now, it's 11PM in Shanghai. My roommate is asleep and locked me out of our room. He's not even drunk. Sigh. FMCL

The other day, I put my mop bucket on my apartment's front balcony, which is shared with two other apartments. We all put some of our things on the balcony, like shoes and stuff. Nothing expensive. The next morning, my bucket was still there but there were orange peels and other garbage inside. FMCL

Today, two yellow puddles appeared in my apartment doorway, a half hour apart. My next door neighbor has two dogs. My rent is 9000RMB per month. FMCL

Today, I went to arrange my move-out note at the property management office, since I'm moving out tomorrow. They didn't have my landlord's contact information for confirmation, so I gave it to them. But they then asked me to prove that it's the real landlord! FMCL

Last year, on my way back from the airport, the cab driver slowed down upon seeing a stray dog walk across the highway, but quickly got impatient. He then ran over it on purpose. Bump. FMCL

Last year, the plumber had to come when my friend was visiting. Even though I spent 10 minutes explaining the problem in fluent Mandarin, he didn't look at me once and only spoke to my friend, who was standing right next to me with his mouth closed. I'm white and my friend is Chinese-American. FMCL
