A contractor just came into my office to touch up a couple of spots on the wall with fresh paint, he’s carrying his safety helmet upside down in his hand.
Ah yes, it’s full of paint.
No paint can in sight, presumably he filled up the helmet at the depot and then rode his moped here one handed, holding it aloft like a waiter delivering soup in a busy restaurant.
After 3 years in China I barely notice these things any more..
UPDATE: The man who waters the plants just came into the office, I go into attack mode the second I see him. He’s been doing it for two years now and he’s still using the same broken bucket. He uses a paper cup to transfer miniscule amounts of water to the plant bit by bit (it takes approximately 15 to 20 1/3 full cups of water to water each plant).
Every time the cup comes out of the bucket he dribbles a trail of water across the carpet between the bucket and the plant, staring at me continuously as he does it.
I swear I’m going to blow one of these days and turn the bucket upside-down over his head
