The Gucci Girl

Oh Bus Uncle, be prepared to be dethroned.

Looks like we have a contender for the title of the Most Obnoxious Honger.

Now that the novelty of the whole Bus Uncle incident has worn off (I'm so glad I didn't buy any mugs with the catchphrases printed on them), Hong Kong is abuzz with yet another story of an obnoxious local mofo challenging social order and civility. Meet la putain du moment: The Gucci Girl.

This story first emerged on local internet forums, and has since set the joints en fuego.

Here's the link for the article published in the Apple Daily. (Chinese only) or the quick read on Reuters.

So basically, here's what happened.

The incident happened on 7 July on a Cathay Pacific flight from Hong Kong to Tokyo. Prior to takeoff, the flight crew was doing their take-off check and noticed a girl sitting in Economy Class, described to be in her mid 20s-30s, clenching to her Gucci purse, a Jolicoeur bag valued at about HK$5,000. The flight attendant informed her that all on board baggage should be stowed in the seat front or in the overhead compartment before take-off. However, the girl vehemently refused to comply with the safety standards. Her reasoning? The floor was too filthy of a spot to place her precious Gucci bag. The flight attendant then offered to place the bag in the overhead compartment, an offer to which this rabid bitch refused, stating it was too high up and out of reach. The captain then made an announcement stating that the flight will be delayed until this lunatic complied. Still holding a relentless campaign to have the damn bag in her lap, she became increasingly agitated and so the airline eventually called in security and the cops and forcibly removed the cunt from the flight, which in the end was delayed for a full hour.

If you can't visualise this ridiculous farce in your head, Apple Daily has kindly provided us with a visual aid, the best their graphics department can muster.

I'm sorry....

As the locals would say what. der. fuck. is. wong. wif. dis. beech?!

Hi, open questions to the crazy lady... Do you feel like a downright twat for behaving as you did? Do you have no sense of shame? OK, fine, erratic and disruptive behaviour aside... Have you ever flown on a fucking plane? Standard procedures lady! Like hell, too bad you're overcome with your own vapidity otherwise you'd find the time to grow some brains, and get over yourself. I'd expect this kind of behaviour from B-list HK starlets in Business or First Class, but you're in Economy. Get a grip. If you want to be swarmed by flight attendants blowing smoke up your ass and buffing your nails whilst feeding you caviar, extracted from a freshly gutted beluga, then you should have bought yourself a ticket sitting amongst the elite in the front of the plane. Let the peasants sit in peace in their cramped quarters.
