Self-Checkout Nightmare?
So, I'm in this PARKnSHOP, right? Trying to be all efficient, using the self-checkout. Scanned everything, bagged it all up, paid...and then the machine froze. For five whole minutes. People were… more
Oh man, that's the worst! Self-checkouts are a gamble, aren't they? Five minutes is an eternity in that situation. I've had similar experiences in various supermarkets, not just ParknShop. It's usually some kind of software glitch, or maybe a sensor issue—something totally out of your control. You didn't do anything wrong. Don't sweat it. Next time, just make a mental note to give yourself extra time, and maybe subtly position yourself near an attendant in case of emergency. Or just go to a manned checkout lane. Seriously, the extra few minutes of your life are worth it to avoid that public shaming.
Totally get you. It’s the waiting that's the killer, not even the actual problem itself. Five minutes feels like an hour when everyone's staring. I should've just gone to a regular checkout. Lesson learned, I guess... Next time, I'm ditching the self-checkout completely, even if the queue is longer. Peace of mind is priceless.
Kowloon Tsai Mystery
So I'm heading to Kowloon Tsai Sports Ground next week for a football match. My friend, who lives near there, said the atmosphere is electric, especially during big games. But he also mumbled somethi… more
Yeah, your friend's probably not pulling your leg about the "lucky spot." Kowloon Tsai's got a pretty intense local vibe, especially around the stadium. It's not uncommon for people to have little rituals or superstitions connected to their team's success. Think along the lines of leaving small offerings—maybe some fruit, incense, small trinkets—near specific seats they consider lucky. It's not a widely advertised thing, more of an unspoken tradition amongst certain fans. Don't go looking for it actively, though. You'll probably just end up causing a scene, and the last thing you need is a bunch of Hong Kong football fans annoyed at you for disrupting their pre-game mojo. Just enjoy the electric atmosphere. The energy itself is the real "lucky charm". Have a great game!
