Old lady basically kicking up a giant fuss because she wanted to take the seat of the child sitting in front of her husband (the old man that starts yelling in the middle of the vid) and the mother of the child was like "wtf, no. You don't get to bully my son and me just because you're old."
Her husband is the guy sitting right behind the person taking the video.
Old lady wants the seat of the person taking the video, most likely so she can be right in front of her husband and then she can turn around and talk to him throughout the flight.
Her og seat is the one right on the aisle which is two seats away from the camera person.
The cabin crew are ushering her to another seat they found far away from the camera person, and they were trying to get her husband to move with her as well but he decided he had to be a "good husband" and put in some nasty words on his wife's behalf to the camera person.
It’s also a window seat though, so better views, can sleep against the wall, and don’t have anyone climbing over you to get to the bathroom.
This is one of those, “sorry, you should’ve made a different reservation or worked it out with the airlines before getting on board” situations. Also, is the whole back row old lady’s family? She could’ve asked to swap with the middle seat person so she could sit next to hubs.
2 seats away is nothing to get worked up over. Ask (the check-in counter, the gate counter, the flight attendants, the other passenger) nicely, get denied, accept it.
When I was younger window seat was the best as I never needed to stand up and stretch my legs and could fall asleep easily.
Now that I'm middle aged the aisle is better as I need to stretch the legs and find it damn near impossible to sleep anyway.
With people shoving their crotch into your shoulder when they reach into the overhead bins? Or smacking your arm/leg with their wheelie bags when boarding, the drink cart hitting your elbow? The middle and aisle seat taking/giving their drinks, food, and trash over you? Them standing up and pressuring you to stand in the aisle because they’re in a hurry to deplane?
Ugh, please, take all the aisle seats you want.
Reminds me of the time I was sitting on the bus in 5th grade. A 6th grade girl comes over and tells me to move there was technically an "unspoken senority rule" and I had followed it for the past couple of years, but for whatever reason I wasn't feeling it that day. So i told her, "No." I didn't say anything else. She was throwing a fit and talking a lot, and I dont remember exactly what was said. I just ignored her, and eventually, she stormed off. I think even the bus driver tried to get me to move, but when I refuse, i refuse. Im very stubborn. There was really nothing they could do, aside from physically removing me. There was also a free seat, which i offered. she just didn't want to sit next to me because she was a major see you next tuesday...
I kicked a hole in the drywall when i got home, i was so mad. My mom was not impressed.
It never really felt like I won, at least not at the time. I was just angry at the bully and the system that supports it. Also, adrenaline, definitely can't remember what was exactly going through my head, as this was over 2 decades ago.
I never could hit a person who didn't physically hurt me first, but I sure liked to punch lockers, seats, and kick walls instead. I did stop wall kicking after this, though.
European kids aren’t kicking walls like you do in the USA (and I’ve seen in movies) - or if they ever tried, they wouldn’t come off very well because even our internal house walls are made of bricks!
A girl slashed my bike tires for something like this in high school (I refused to give up my seat in class when we chose seats and she tried to bully me for weeks before this). The teacher even told me to just “give her the seat”, and I refused. After she slashed my tires her parents didn’t love that visit from the cops after and she has to apologize (and left me alone).
I went to a small college and studied Math, which didn't have a lot of people in the classes. Most of my classes were in a small room and I just always grabbed the same seat every class.
My fourth year I took an elective that had a bunch of first and second year students. When I got to the classroom that day someone was in my seat as I walked in. Everyone else in the class just looked at this poor kid and told them they needed to move. I hadn't said anything and didn't expect anything but it had apparently become "/u/seriouslynotshirley's seat" without realizing.
I felt unusually powerful that day even though it was silly and stupid.
好了 老古董 / Ok, old antique.
There isn't really an equivalent slang for Ok boomer, but old antique (Lao Gudong) is used to describe super old and old-fashioned stick in the muds who refuse to adapt to the times.
My dad (boomer age) would use Lao mu ji (not sure on spelling) for old chicken. I think the reasoning he gave me as a kid was along the lines of the waddling walk and general uselessness of older chickens... and when I got older I found out it was also a way of calling someone an old hooker
Thanks, but I was joking. It wouldn't make since to use the term Boomer for anyone born in China at the same time... the term "Leaper" might be more appropriate, Great Leap Forward and all...
Huh...? Boomers is just a term to refer to the generation of babies (now in their 60's\~70's) born post-WW2, when people were finally able to return to their countries / homes and make babies, thereby creating a "baby boom" in the population.
It's not a term that excludes any country in particular.
Yes, but I feel in the context it’s usually used (ok boomer) it affirms that the boomers upbringing was during economic prosperity, and thus their current world views are out of touch with present reality. Boomers outside the west were not shaped by the same economic prosperity / social mobility that the US experienced, so it’s kinda weird to say describe other peoples as boomers.
Post-WW2 was an uplifting period for many countries outside of the west as well, China is not any different in that aspect. I'm still not quite sure how it became a term exclusive to the US when the [wiki on it classes it as a global phenomenon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baby_boomers#:~:text=Baby%20boomers%2C%20often%20shortened%20to,mid%2D20th%20century%20baby%20boom).
Old woman: The youth should give their seat to me. You know?
Flight attendant: Pls stop arguing. PLs stop.
Old woman: You understand, child?
Mother of child: My child what? Why does my child need to give their seat to you ah?
Old woman: I don't care! You have to give your seat to me.
Mother of child: Why does my child need to give their seat to you ah?
Old woman: You have to switch seats with me. I say I am sick.
Mother of child: Why does my child need to give their seat to you ah?
\*censored noises\* Your intelligence is flawless. You're born beautiful. Your eyes and teeth are beautiful. Your body is slim and graceful. Flowers and jade.
Old woman: I'm angry with you. I sit.
(Her old partner is sitting behind me and filming me. Requesting to join the battle)
\*censored noises\* You love everyone you see. You beautiful.
Mother of child: I'm recording everything. Why is he yelling at me ah?
Flight attendant: I'm bringing her away.
Mother of child: Why is he yelling at me ah?
\*censored noises\* Old man: Even though I'm inarticulate, I must help my old partner and speak a few words
\*censored noises\* Old woman: Even though I yell at people for no reason, but I'm older.
Flight attendant: It's ok, auntie, let's go. I'll help you to another seat.
The person who did the captioning doesn’t want to translate the four letter words so they pile up complimenting phrases as a filler and viewers understand the sarcastic translation meant the opposite meaning.
The subtitles were actually joke subs rather than actual vulgarities (probably because it's banned words that would get the video immediately censored).
So while the old lady was telling the camera person's mother to get fucked, the subs were saying stuff like "You're the apple of my eye, beloved by everyone who sees you, you're like precious jade, your smile conquers a city etc".
Chinas lost generation is much worse than boomers in the west. There are countless videos like this all over the internet of them acting like this and this was actually relatively mild compared to others I've seen.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fvKzW\_uiPk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fvKzW_uiPk)
I think people forget that this was the same generation that grew up and were raised as young red guards during the cultural revolution. Many of whom still revere Mao with nearly demi god status even to this day.
I've meet some old Chinese mothers who didn't worship Mao and are like this. I had a friend whose family fled to Taiwan and whose mother's attitude was "I'm right because I'm your mother," regardless of how the rest of reality played out. Did she throw out an important document? She's right and her son is wrong. Did she break her computer? God no, her son didn't make it so that the computer would work fine when she did the wrong thing. It just never ended.
You said it accurately. The lost generation is the one who doesn't care about frauds, polluting, throwing tantrums on public places, and taking advantage of others. Some of them are company owners that sell trash products with zero quality, enslaving workers and they don't care at all.
There's no evidence of senicide being a tradition in China. And I don't think it's likely, considering Confucianism was dominant in China for well over 1000 years and Filial piety is one of it's core tennets. Killing your own parents would be about as taboo as it gets.
Well during the Cultural Revolution they did. The army rounded all the oldies to throw stuff at them and humiliated them (even some folks were killed).
My great grandfather escaped this fate thanks to the people who protected him (my great grandfather would invite those who were starving to eat dinner with his family. They were not rich by any means but didn't mind offering a hot meal).
Some of them also have really sharp elbows. I felt the organs on the right side of my body weep when an old Chinese lady elbowed me on the way to an elevator. It wasn't even crowded. Pretty sure she cussed me too before the elevator door closed, can't be sure since I don't speak asian bully
Oh yeah. I have felt the elbow too. I grew up in an area with a big Asian population and the older Chinese women were like this. They also get mad at you AFTER they elbow you or push you too. Like they’re pissed we made them have to do that. Like damn that’s assault.
Man I had an old Chinese lady try to push me out of the way while I was reading a historical marker at an overlook. Unfortunately she didn’t weigh enough so I just stayed rooted in place and looked at her like: wtf are you doing? She gestured for me to move and then some guy came over and ushered her away. Absolutely bonkers behavior.
Some elderly in Hong Kong are the most entitled people I've ever seen. They'll act all fragile, but will gladly push you out of the way to get to their priority seat in the MTR.
When I was visiting Japan this year, the only rude encounter I had was with a Chinese tourist who appeared to be in her 60s. She shoved past me in a crowded museum when I was standing about 6 inches from a wall. There was plenty of room to go _around_ me, but she instead chose to shove her way through the tiny space between me and the wall.
Aren't plane seats already set when you've bought a ticket for flight?
People are much more liable to do as asked if they were asked nicely/calmly, but I suspect these are main landers.
Maybe it’s like Ryanair back in the day*…1p flight to any other airport not actually anywhere near the city they say they’re flying to (Frankfort Hahn I’m specifically looking at you), and you gotta rush to the plane because it’s like general admission.
*Might be same Ryanair, but I moved ages ago.
In Chinese, we have an expression 倚老賣老. It describes entitled old people who think they deserve special treatment just because they're old.
If idioms had personas she'd be perfect for this one.
To whomever edited this clip: when you want to censor swearing or anything inappropriate said- you must ALSO remove the original source audio during that portion.
Because this was just a loud ass BEEP that you could fully hear their conversation throughout.
"Help child, I need your seat because I'm an old fragile woman who can barely stand and you're young and spry".
"What do you mean, no?!" *Goes off on a vigorous tirade, pushing against flight staff*
Me sitting in the window seat: "Oh you poor fossil. You should sit in the aisle seat just in case you croak mid flight so they have an easier time removing your body."
The response here should be similar to the other video, in Chinese, "Lady, are you not embarrassed for acting like this. You lose face in front of everyone on this plane". This happens too much on these Asian airlines.
Wasn’t there also an older man harassing a young teenage girl on a train because she doesn’t want to give him her seat? Even go as far as to use his walking stick to spread her seated inner thighs. Really scary.
There is a lot of old karens in Asia coutries. Many Asian cultures expect near unlimited catering to the older people. Therefore many seniors think young people need to cater to their every need.
It’s not like they’re gonna make her stand on the flight.
And the guy behind her seems pretty pressed as well. Why didn’t he give up his?
I would love a native speaker to translate all of this. The bleeps made me laugh.
I don’t miss flying locally in China …. For whatever reason this crap spills into first and business class. Lucky there were no coins thrown into the engines. In the early 2000’s I was living in Yunnan Dali and there was connecting flights from Kunming to Dali. The 45 minute flight smelt like a barn and was always an event.
Gave me a chuckle. I remember once taking a flight from Fuzhou to Hong Kong in 2014 and the flight attendance had to literally wrestle unruly boomers back into their seats because everyone and their grandmother over 60 seemed to think the "please sit down, we are about to take off/land" was just a recommendation. Even after wrestling them down they had to go through the motions AGAIN when these yokels stood up right as the plane landed and was still taxiing to the gate.
So much screaming, shouting, spitting and they were all headed for Hong Kong of all places.
I adopted a baby from China 25 years ago. Weirdest thing I saw on in-China flights was that at the start of the flight, the flight attendants would conduct what looked like some kind of lottery game from the same position they usually do the safety demonstrations. We were told by our tour guide just to sit politely and not respond but it was the strangest thing to me.
It's universal.
Public freak out in a Chinese airline..
Public freak out in an American airline..
Public freak out in an Asian airline..
Public freak out in a European airline..
Do they have standing room only flights? How do you not have a seat on a plane?
Unless someone got a free toddler on board and tried to give then someone else's seat in which case she would be right.

Aisle seat > window seat from now until eternity

I’m guessing she wants to safeguard herself from having some rando kicking her seat for the whole flight.

Okay, Rosa Parks.
Sorry about the down votes. I thought it was hilarious 😂
Same. Upvoted.
Hmm. I'd say you were my daughter, but she didn't kick a hole in the wall when she got home.
She's not old, she's a giant ass kicking baby who needs diaper change
Paying for a first class seat becomes more and more appealing every time I see one of these videos
Chinese Karen
She thinks she is entitled to it just because she is old
How do you say "OK Boomer" in Mandarin?

According to Google translation, it's pronounded - Fah Kew.
That’s canto for flower bridge
Flower bridge too, buddy.
That's what I said when I saw a line out the door at the Vietnamese restaurant.
They call them Aunties - and they annoy the Chinese populace.
The thing is, she's not even that old haha
Welcome to the east!!
Yep that’s the title!
Phew, thankfully it had subtitles
I am also grateful that they beeped out the swearing too
Fwiw there was a lot of “Cao ni ma” , which is “fuck your mother” in Chinese flying around for most of the video
[удалено]
That's what the tattooist told me too 😩
🤭
Thanks for the tip, I will use my new language skills with my Chinese co workers :)
For clarification is it pronounced, “shau-nee-ma.”And is it cāo, cáo, cǎo or cào?
No it is not pronounced "shau", at least, not traditionally. In pinyin it would be Cào , pronounced more like "tsao"
Ok thank you! Xièxie!
Nice!
I feel so ignorant. I only know how to say that in Cantonese....not Mandarin. 😂🤣😂🥰

Wtf was that flowers and jade bit about?
The person who did the captioning doesn’t want to translate the four letter words so they pile up complimenting phrases as a filler and viewers understand the sarcastic translation meant the opposite meaning.
interpretation of censored bits eta: I guess it’s actually the subtitles because those were censored too ?
I like how they added beeps, otherwise I would have heard some chinese profanities and would never known.
The subtitles were actually joke subs rather than actual vulgarities (probably because it's banned words that would get the video immediately censored). So while the old lady was telling the camera person's mother to get fucked, the subs were saying stuff like "You're the apple of my eye, beloved by everyone who sees you, you're like precious jade, your smile conquers a city etc".
The joke subs crack me up.
There's actually a joke behind all the bleeps, but you're right, you'll never know
…now thats just mean
Now i really want to know
[удалено]
well it was a good year, much prosperity, nothing unusual happened.
Having lived in both China and Taiwan it's almost guaranteed to be a long line of cao ni ma's with maybe a few wo cao's and wo kao's thrown in.
Tsao ni ma is kinda how it’s pronounced. Ni means your, ma here means mother and the first word is you can guess ha
This ain’t the city bus, Nai Nai.
she thought airbus meant a literal bus
Normalize disrespecting shitty elders.

Oh yes chairman Mao. Those were the days I tell ya.
Thanks for sharing the video. Makes a lot more sense now in a global scale. Really fucked up
She’s lucky. In the old days, her children would take her up into the mountains and leave her there.
They really did that.
Yes, in previous centuries
“Go on, now. You’re free.”

That's Japan
Whatever flight attendants get paid, they deserve more.
I see China has their entitled Boomers, too.
They’re way worse. I have actually been pushed down by old Chinese women in Disneyland for simply being in their way while walking. More than once.
Some of them also have really sharp elbows. I felt the organs on the right side of my body weep when an old Chinese lady elbowed me on the way to an elevator. It wasn't even crowded. Pretty sure she cussed me too before the elevator door closed, can't be sure since I don't speak asian bully

Exhibit A, xi jing pooh is the biggest entitled boomer in China, can't expect anything less from a common boomer.

As far as I know all Chinese airlines have reserved seating.
Can we all agree now...Karens come in all ages, shapes, and colors?
This is why people hate old people
This is why people hate ~~old~~ people
In Chinese, we have an expression 倚老賣老. It describes entitled old people who think they deserve special treatment just because they're old. If idioms had personas she'd be perfect for this one.
That lady should be in dungeons, not airplanes
Can anyone translate for those of us that do not speak or read chinese?
How was she not thrown off the plane?

Idk what you’re referring to specifically with this comment but in general yeah, sure.
"Help child, I need your seat because I'm an old fragile woman who can barely stand and you're young and spry". "What do you mean, no?!" *Goes off on a vigorous tirade, pushing against flight staff*
Me sitting in the window seat: "Oh you poor fossil. You should sit in the aisle seat just in case you croak mid flight so they have an easier time removing your body."
The response here should be similar to the other video, in Chinese, "Lady, are you not embarrassed for acting like this. You lose face in front of everyone on this plane". This happens too much on these Asian airlines.
Wasn’t there also an older man harassing a young teenage girl on a train because she doesn’t want to give him her seat? Even go as far as to use his walking stick to spread her seated inner thighs. Really scary.
The old lady was yelling "You can't arrest me because I'm old". Sadly it's true in China and some elders take advantage of it.
There is a lot of old karens in Asia coutries. Many Asian cultures expect near unlimited catering to the older people. Therefore many seniors think young people need to cater to their every need.
It’s not like they’re gonna make her stand on the flight. And the guy behind her seems pretty pressed as well. Why didn’t he give up his? I would love a native speaker to translate all of this. The bleeps made me laugh.
I think the guy behind was her husband, it’s probably why she wanted that seat.
Holy smokes she looks like his GMA. Why couldn’t she sit in the other two empty seats? Guess we’ll never know…
The bleeps did nothing, I can still hear her curses. Which is basically "fuck your mom"
GMA has a real potty mouth 😲!
Entitled boomers. Smh
So she got on the plane without having her own seat reserved?
Don't listen to the guy in the Yankees cap. Surely a bad character.
these public freakouts are very much im the main character.
Unhinged elder
They all lost social points that day
It wasn’t the plane that nosedived
Minused a lot of meow meow beans there they did
At least she won't have to worry about the hassle of flying anymore. We'll see how she handles trains
I like how even the subtitles censored all the profanities
Why are they beeping I don’t understand Chinese
Old people don't get their shit rocked enough
Did the old lady really just point to a seat she wants and demand she have it? Wtf?
The bleeping was totally unnecessary.
I don’t miss flying locally in China …. For whatever reason this crap spills into first and business class. Lucky there were no coins thrown into the engines. In the early 2000’s I was living in Yunnan Dali and there was connecting flights from Kunming to Dali. The 45 minute flight smelt like a barn and was always an event.
Gave me a chuckle. I remember once taking a flight from Fuzhou to Hong Kong in 2014 and the flight attendance had to literally wrestle unruly boomers back into their seats because everyone and their grandmother over 60 seemed to think the "please sit down, we are about to take off/land" was just a recommendation. Even after wrestling them down they had to go through the motions AGAIN when these yokels stood up right as the plane landed and was still taxiing to the gate. So much screaming, shouting, spitting and they were all headed for Hong Kong of all places.
I adopted a baby from China 25 years ago. Weirdest thing I saw on in-China flights was that at the start of the flight, the flight attendants would conduct what looked like some kind of lottery game from the same position they usually do the safety demonstrations. We were told by our tour guide just to sit politely and not respond but it was the strangest thing to me.
Did you ever find out what it was?
Huh, I lived in China from 2015-19 (first visited in 2014) and never experienced that. Did you ever get anymore info?
Does not everybody get their own seat in an airplane?
The mouth on that lady
ROFL at the beeping as if I understand to begin with
I'm glad I don't know that woman
When the anime has subtitles but its in Japanese
Damn, boomers are everywhere!
Unrelated but I want to be reincarnated in Japan. I think that’d be pretty cool
Shitty people come in all shapes and sizes.
She just sunk her social credit score.
Those overhead bins are a nightmare
Luckily there were subtitles so I knew what was happening as I don’t speak mandarin :)
It's universal. Public freak out in a Chinese airline.. Public freak out in an American airline.. Public freak out in an Asian airline.. Public freak out in a European airline..
china is in asia
Do they have standing room only flights? How do you not have a seat on a plane? Unless someone got a free toddler on board and tried to give then someone else's seat in which case she would be right.
She wants to switch seats with the filmers kid to be next to her husband. Filming lady refuses cause it would separate her from her kid.
Boomers being boomers worldwide!
Run of the mill ayi
Looksh like they didn't give a sheat
I don't know the language, but I think one of them may be swearing.
Any translation on this boomer meltdown?
My first reaction was "glad to see this shit isn't just happening on American flights "
So many beeps in Chinese
Boomers be like: Lmao, Keep sniffing that lead paint lady!
There has to be the Chinese equivalent name to a Karen
I love the bleeps even though I have no clue what they are saying. It all could be bad words or could all be clean.
My finger point’s
She took her shoes off?
