Boy, good thing you're not living in China! Unfriendly staff are everywhere, people smoke everywhere as well, even where there are no-smoking signs, and drivers, well, have you seen the chaos that is the state of the roads here? Cars don't stop for red lights, zebra crossings are meaningless, and you might as well not have lane markings since nobody really follows them...
As for sensationalised news, well, at least you do get access to most news without having to go around the government censorship, and violence, I haven't as yet beat up any locals, though sometimes, it's really really hard to control the urge.
Anyway, hi from the PRC!

Mags your list is somewhat different. Although I wouldn't have put telemarketing calls first, and you seem not to have a dislike of unfriendly staff. Interesting.
Actually Jen, Mags would be the one that hates you =P I don't really seem to mind telemarketing calls coz as Donna says, you just hang up on them! =D
Haha I wanted to put 'Late buses' on the list as its definitely something that makes me tear my hair out!
I am definitely thankful I am not in China, although maybe I might actually think differently there. Definitely not cool with the cigarette smoke, but I'd know to expect poor service right? Yeah- the roads situation is bad... nearly got killed once for not looking 'the other way'.
I'm actually not quite sure what that usb thing is lol. But how does your humping action cow work? hahaha

This little plastic cow humps the comp when you plug it in. I'm not sure whether it serves the dual purpose of being a memory stick as well though...
