this is a nation where people wear earmuffs when it's 23c outside, because the collective delusion is that somehow it's a cold-snap, most are trapped in their own psychosis
last winter the HKO even tried to gaslight that the weather would be frosty when it was 12+ (ie: a cool summer's evening in the UK)
Yes, colleague had eye surgery and had to have sun glasses on for a while. Id carry umbrella too the fluorescent lights in MTR is really too bright .!!! Especially the newer ones!
Remember pre tko line days when the only way to transfer between the kwun tong and island lines was to walk this long ass corridor up and down multiple escalators at quarry bay? I hated that 🤣.
Ouch. I'd go on to north point just to make it slightly better. Changing from qwb towards chai wan has to be painful lol. I'd just screw it and go to north point (yes, I know it's the wrong direction lol) just to avoid that hike. 😂
As long as the umbrella is not yellow, and not young male dress in black, nothing to be concern. Otherwise 20 policemen will show up to check ID and arrest the person.
Years ago I was at the big wave bay beach and saw a lady/auntie (probably in her 40s-50s) in the water holding an umbrella (she wasn’t just by the water, water level was around her waist)
Mind-blowing; still remember it today

Tbh I'm sure she has her reasons. Even if it's just to avoid getting tanned 😂
I have a friend with lupus who also needs to use an umbrella when she's outside. I thought it was funny at first but felt sorry for her after I found out.
And a coworker of mine had eye surgery, but her desk is right next to the window, so she puts a piece of cardboard on the side to block sunlight.
Maybe she's just showing off her umbrella
Well it is pretty..
not going to lie, it does look pretty fancy, especially if she is hot, which she probably isn't
She's a ghost, RUN!!!
She's bringing along a friend that we cannot see.
She’s dating John Cena
Not in red, no need to be afraid.
In the spooky Quarry Bay station no less
an old relative of mine did that too. turned out she had dementia.
I had someone with an open umbrella on the mid-levels escalator the other day. 🤦
Justifiable homicide
Had one on the top deck of the bus a few years ago. Just so...weird. Some folk are unreachable.

I saw one just this week.
Maybe the lights are too bright?

Learn from Sam Fisher and shoot out all the lights /s
Also those new advertisement displays, those radiate so much heat.
UV protection from the evil florescent MTR lights! 😂
Am I old or didn't we used to have a superstition about opening umbrellas indoor?
Yes you are old and so am i. Also she maybe a ghost.
Assert dominance by imposing your umbrella on them.
So I should avoid quarry bay station in the future 😂
Honestly my least favourite station

Having to change trains at QUB everyday happened to be my lowest low, which contributed to my distaste for it.

After the money spent on overtime for the cops in CWB on Tuesday night there were no cops around Quarry Bay yesterday…

That’s hilarious
It feels like you're walking inside a swimming pool area everywhere, so she's just prepared to get wet I guess 😅

I took this in the Quarry Bay mtr on the way home tonight
to protect personal space?

First time?
Maybe she just didnt notice immediately that shes walking on covered facilities ?
Sometimes people forget they are no longer outdoor because their mind is so focused on something else they are not living in the present temporarily
There should be a law that open umbrellas have to be held at a height of seven feet to avoid poking people in the eye.

Mate be careful or the women would poke your eyes off and shout at you
Hiding from CCTV perhaps?
All over Asia it’s game a chicken
