To show that not only Chinese are doing this, but a lot of people are not familiar and comfortable with this "culture".

我朋友的一个朋友从欧洲来，有一天他在canteen坐下吃饭，一个女孩子过来说"sorry this is my seat."

欧洲人："why you say this is your seat? I think it is first come first serve?"

女孩子:"Oh, b'coz I put my tissue paper here oledi."

欧洲人:"So are you saying that if you put your tissue paper here, the seat belongs to you? I am not quite convinced, could you please call the canteen manager and explain the rule explicitly for me?"

女孩子（Raising Voice）:"@#$%&! how come you like that wat! I put the tissue paper here means I got the seat wat."

欧洲人（Raising Voice）:"So the tissue paper represents you? You so cheap? A 50c tissue paper can represent you already? Then here is 1 dollar, take it and go away."
