Shanghai Woman Caught Not Paying Fare, Curses Metro Worker

Middle-aged Shanghainese woman yells at Shanghai Metro worker for catching her red-handed trying to not pay fare.

Middle-aged Shanghainese woman yells at Shanghai Metro worker for catching her red-handed trying to not pay fare.

The video:

On YouTube:

What happened? On Youku: “This happened at the Line 4 Metro, Tangqiao station.”  On Liba, the post was titled: “After being caught using a fake “family of revolutionary martyr” card and trying to then squeeze through the turnstiles, a middle-aged woman viciously curses metro employee ‘cunt cunt cunt cunt…’.” On Mop and 6.cn, it was titled “Real footage, Shanghai metro worker verbally abused by fare-dodger for 20 minutes until she cries“.

A comment on Mop offering a translation:

Shrew: What the fuck are you, what are you so smug? (fight in the middle)
Shrew: You fucking cunt, who the fuck do you think you are?! Your old cunt of a mother couldn’t sell her cunt so she found you in the trash outside.
Worker A: What are you doing? Are you cursing me or my mother?
Shrew: What does it matter? I’m cursing you, cursing you, cursing your mother’s old cunt, cursing you, cursing you, cursing your mother. What? Your mother’s dirty rotten cunt, can’t sell her cunt and found you in the trash, you know that, right?
Worker B: Let it go, why are you doing this, yelling at her continuously until now?
Shrew: At your age, what do you think you can do with your face?
Worker A: You cursing me is one thing, but you even curse my mother.
Shrew: So what if I curse your mother? How did your mother give birth to someone like you? So many people at this station, yet is there anyone like you? There is no one like you.
Shrew: What the fuck are you doing?
Crowd: Alright, stop yelling, just let it go.

I am not Shanghainese, but I have worked in Shanghai for 7 years and because some people above have asked, I have translated it. Because it is so messy, the translation is not very good and she repeats herself in the end. Shanghainese old women are indeed like this, but there are people like this throughout the country, and there are still more good people [than bad people], so everyone don’t attack excessively, just condemnation is enough.

Comments from Liba:

一颗待嫁的心:

Losing face for [embarrassing] Shanghainese people. This crazy woman.

粥粉面饭:

I’ve seen this before, very frightening. With these kind of people, you can only try avoiding them. Only someone of her level is able to argue/quarrel with her. 汗

ackee:

I saw the video yesterday, and remember wondering what could possibly be the reason for this old ayi [auntie] to yell at someone like this.
Turns out the old ayi herself is without reason.
MD, the guys nearby didn’t even come out to help.

恭亲王:

This poor worker, MS [貌似, mao si, appears to be] wiping away tears…

vivi2199:

One of our neighbors, a guy, once caught someone using an elderly card [good for free fare on public transportation]. He got slapped three times. However, in the end, he was rewarded 2000 yuan. His attacker was caught.

蝶舞清秋11:

Middle-aged ayis are just like this. As long as they can save money, they don’t care about face.

云中紫雾:

I saw this in the morning too. Other posts said that worker’s mother had already passed away, and that’s why she was crying so hard. The work unit later gave her 500 RMB as “comfort money”. Accepting this money hurts too. Even if it means losing your job, one can’t let a stupid cunt be this arrogant.

bunnyrabbit:

This young woman is too weak. That day on Line 9 there was a girl who was knocked down, she was incredible, screaming a mouthful of “bbb” [“cunt cunt cunt”] at a guy, no contest, haha.

小贞:

Normally, aren’t those World Expo security guards and bag checker uncles really tough? Where are they now?

crystal_1011:

Middle-aged women aren’t to be angered, such poor characters, I often run into these kind of people when riding the metro.

Comments from Mop:

maopu:

Shanghai women are too niubi.

chkxyg:

Often see her in Shanghai, this woman has dodged fare several times, always arguing/cursing [when caught], so this incident she just happens to curse a bit longer, it is no longer surprising/shocking.
The Shanghai Metro has a group of fare-dodgers, the majority of them being locals.

我容易嗎我:

I was originally very angry, but then when I saw that it was a Shanghainese person, my anger disappeared.

落叶云烟:

Extremely without character, you’re all women, is this really necessary? Keeping the peace/being harmonious is the most important.

我身在矿区:

Oh yeah, the bullshit language of Shanghai’s little city residents, I didn’t understand a single word.

poseiden86:

No matter what, cursing someone to this level I can only say this woman 1. has nothing better to do, 2. has extremely low character, and 3. has a twisted heart.

328049825:

After watching, I no longer dare interact with Shanghainese women.

j:

And I thought Shanghainese people’s characters were so high, never imagining that [their characters] are this low, and speaking completely in dialect [Shanghainese]…vulgar, too vulgar! Hope she is human flesh searched, and then trampled on!
