Anybody heard of the Bus Uncle video, captured by somebody on a Hong Kong bus? I've heard about the incident for a month from Chinese radio stations, but never knew exactly what all the jazz was about until a friend sent me a link of the actual thing in progress. And I guess I got a good laugh out of it, to say the least.

Now, it's in Hong Kong, so naturally it's in Cantonese and some (or all) might not get it unless you understand the Chinese dialect (English doesn't really do it justice, from an Asian's eye).

In a nutshell, it's about a middle-aged man talking loudly on the phone while sitting in a HK public bus. A young lad sitting behind him kindly taps his shoulders as if to say "sir, please quiet down", but the middle-aged man gets all enrage about it etc and demands why the young lad tapped his shoulder and that he demands an apology for disturbing his phone call, etc.

The funny bit? It's the phrases he uses, which is why I say English subs don't do it justice. That and he's a complete dipisht about the scenario.
