A video recently circulating online shows two women speaking Mandarin occupying a single seat in an MTR carriage, preventing a mother and her son from sitting comfortably, which caused the son to cry. Upon realizing she was being filmed, one of the women responded provocatively, claiming she is a "young girl" who deserves accommodation. The incident has sparked online debate, with many netizens stating they frequently encounter similar seat-hogging behavior on public transport and criticizing the lack of civic-mindedness. Additionally, another female student from Shanghai shared an experience of being pelted with coins in an MTR station for squatting to rest; she believes this reflects unfriendliness from Hong Kong residents toward mainlanders and vowed not to visit Hong Kong again.
