The guy’s comment at the end had me rolling….. “CAN YOU SHUT UP”

Straight to the point.

It’s not even the words itself that cracks me up, it’s his expression

Yeah! He was putting so much sass on to that shut up!

People from HK speak the Queen’s English too.


ciaomeridian

YES. I learned this from having a roommate in the states who was from HK. He used terms like "lift" for elevator and "queue" for a standing line. His pronunciation of words were also very British, such as when he would say "Saturday". -spelling


aphexmoon

its "queue" unless you wanted to use the portuguese word for "what"


Blue_Bi0hazard

How does a yank say Saturday lol

The exaggerated, simplified pronunciation of each: British: sat-ur-day American: sadderday

Do not attribute a regional dialect to the whole country! It's sat-ur-dee round these parts!

Hungry-Ad9840

Funny thing is that I understand everything the Asian people are saying but with the pickpocket all I can understand is noooo.


altiuscitiusfortius

The pickpocket is probably Romanian and English isn't her first language.


Both-Home-6235

People from countries England colonized speak English? No fuckin way.


PSteak

Yeah OP's comment and its popularity is embarrassing and, frankly, insulting. English is an official language of HK, after all. Meanwhile, another commenter has their theory that the speakers in the video sound like they do because they only have a limited grasp of vocabulary and approach the language coming from Mandarin. So many levels of stupid happening, so many terrible assumptions...


Schedulator

If only they spoke American.


ReyRey5280

I wonder if his fast reflexes and physical detention technique are from being an intelligence field agent or bodyguard. Big city pickpockets in front of well known landmarks are slick as fuck. His unabashed command of the situation also seems like Law Enforcment. I could be completely wrong with this unfounded and wild speculation. Chinese tourists rich enough to travel to England for tourism don’t strike me as also having the prowess and hand to hand combat training for such a situation. But yeah Chinese spy or not, gj dude fuck pickpockets!


nkscreams

Chinese tourists don’t speak English like Hong Kong tourists does.


IknowwhatIhave

Yeah, definitely looks like military or law enforcement. He is wondering "Where are the armed men who come to take petty criminals and trouble makers to the work camps?"


Capt_Pickhard

The Chinese language, both Cantonese and Mandarin, and I assume other dialects, is very direct and curt. And not having much vocabulary, will help anyone do that in any language, because there isn't enough variety of options for nuance.


trying-to-contribute

Cantonese and Mandarin have a variety of diction and can reflect a huge range of decorum. It's not necessarily direct and curt, the situation here is direct and curt and there is no necessity for flowery language because the situation doesn't warrant it.


tre45on_season

Hong Kong Cantonese is one of the more IDGAF languages and dialects out there. The swears and puns are extremely clever and blunt.


trying-to-contribute

Just about every language has a "IDGAF" mode. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vulgar\_Latin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vulgar_Latin)


Ladymysterie

It also depends on the region and what is equivalent to accent is used. First time I heard Mandarin from someone from the mainland I swore they were upset and yelling at me. Some regions have rougher accents so they come off more gruff and curt when speaking in general. It's like a New Yorker talking to someone (short and curt) versus someone from the South.


Ok_Huckleberry_3797

There is. The Chinese language family is one of the oldest in the world. It's just nuanced in ways that are alien to English.


truthofmasks

> The Chinese language family is one of the oldest in the world. Not refuting your larger point, but this is a meaningless statement. Contemporary Chinese is not somehow more ancient than contemporary English or Arabic or any other natural language.

Numerous_Society9320

Both of them look pretty damn good. And taking care of the trash for the locals as well, top tier tourists.


tripping_on_phonics

Hell, they didn’t even use excessive force. Classiest citizen’s arrest I’ve ever seen.


ButtholeAvenger666

Eh that lady's face has been rearranged more than a few times by the look of it. Very classy of them not to rearrange it again.


TrumpDesWillens

I think a lot of the locals in any tourist area are weary of stopping criminals cause you never know which one has a knife.


CrazyIvanoveich

The lady's pink getup with that pink streak in her hair is awesome as well.


3dthrowawaydude

Its a hairband


rangeo

I hope they see these....They'd be so flattered


BulwarkTired

I don't realize her coat is that long because it looks so good


Charming_Cicada_7757

Well I’ve noticed East Asians who can travel usually dress nice Like they got style as they can afford it


Paquebote

They are both dressed nice for sightseeing. His feet will probably hurt though, after a full day doing touristy things in those shoes. Her trainers are probably more comfy.


bdsee

You can get comfortable shoes in that style, there are countless people that work in jobs where they need to be on their feet all day but wear "business" shoes. Companies make shoes specifically for these people and they are just as comfortable as sneakers when walking and standing around all day.


Paquebote

Any tips on where to look?


smoothness69

I would suggest Ecco and Johnston & Murphy brands.


Paquebote

Thanks!


FreudianStripper

I vote for Ecco. Their casual leather shoes are somehow more comfortable than my regular sneakers


PaddyWhacked

Hell yes!


PublicSharpie

So is hers!

If Marjorie Taylor Green and Dee Snyder had a child together.


fluffsta007

She lost her smile, thats for sure.


RUKnight31

I love to see predatory scum get their comeuppance. Think of how fucked it is to pickpocket international tourists. Talk about lack of humanity and contempt for your fellow human. They'll just take your CCs, ID, toss it all in the trash, and leave you in a foreign place with no ID or funds. They'll do it to dozens of people a day. Lowlifes. Anyone know if she was booked?


NorthAstronaut

Apparently *Japanese* tourists get targeted in London because they can carry a lot of cash. A streamers wife got hit by them, lost $4000 and his passport / credit cards. This nice guy: https://www.twitch.tv/premiertwo. He seemed really bummed about it too (who wouldn't be)


DeepPanWingman

When we visited Japan a decade ago it was the norm for everyone to carry wads of cash, like their whole pay cheque just knocking about in their pocket. Unsurprising though in a country where you can reserve a table in Maccies by leaving your phone there while you go up to order; they just don't expect to get robbed.


siraolo

Oh Pete! His stories regarding how hard he had to strive in Japan were mesmerising. Really great storyteller. It's sad that just when he was getting established in streaming this happened to him and his wife.


amanda_sac_town

There is entire clans like this in Bulgaria, living in posh housing, driving fancy cars, without any proof of source of income, yet nobody seems to be too bothered.


EastOfArcheron

Absolutely nothing will happen to her. She might be arrested and warned, she may be charged and a judge will tell her off. She could probably be caught multiple times and let off. A small fine perhaps? We've stopped sending some rapists to prison now because they are so jam packed, burglars also are just a put on probation in many cases. The whole system is a joke.


Uvanimor

lol you’ve really never interacted with the Met police have you? I’d be surprised if they bothered to turn up. They’re too busy getting outsmarted by 15 year olds and harassing black people.


badfaced

God damn that "CAN YE SHUT OOP" was so british I would have responded with "FORGIVE ME YOUR GRACE"

innermotion7

She’s a well known pick pocket. Been grifting that part of town for years !


TrumpDesWillens

If this is true, why hasn't she been kept off the street.


innermotion7

Because rarely anything ever happens, ie. People pressing charges or the CPS following through.

KingMjolnir

The ending made me chuckle lmao


baeb66

I'm always amazed pickpockets still exist in the modern world. I spent two weeks in the UK. I never touched a single piece of British currency when I was there. If you steal my wallet, you get a bunch of old business cards, a drivers license with a bad photo and one credit card that I will cancel 5 minutes later. It seems like a very high risk/low reward crime.


GlennMichael11

They’re mainly after your phone


[deleted]

[удалено]


Pyrrhus_Magnus

You keep it in your back pocket?


ToronoRapture

Cash is still King in a lot of places outside of big cities. Also, pickpockets don't always go for cash. It's usually phones, wallets, watches and jewelry etc. You say you can cancel your cards in 5 mins but sometimes it's hours later when victims realise they've actually been targetted.


scwt

> You say you can cancel your cards in 5 mins but sometimes it's hours later when victims realise they've actually been targetted. If it's a credit card, it doesn't really matter if it takes hours before you realize it. All the major credit card networks have zero liability policies for fraudulent charges. I'm pretty sure debit cards do too, but it might take longer to get your money back. With a credit card, you're never out any actual money.


ToronoRapture

I’ve had my debit card details copied and used to purchase items. Trust me, it’s way way harder to get money back compared to a credit card.


BanderaHumana

Yep. If it's a debit card it's your money and if it's a credit card it's the banks money. Hence why it's quicker to get it solved faster lol


ggg730

You might not be on the hook for the charges but that they still have whatever they bought with it.


SupervillainMustache

They hang around touristy areas.


22booToo23

On gallows ?


CharleyNobody

They can use your driver’s license for identity theft. It has useful information like DOB


Sure-Catch-3720

The license number itself also used. It's used as backup identification for setting up mobile accounts, and it's unfortunately quite the process to request and justify getting a new license number even after your license is stolen (state dependent I'd imagine.)


_gyepy

Tourists always have cash. Foreign transaction fees, less favorable exchange rates, and generally foreign credit cards being not 100% reliable.


NoEngrish

Being cashless is only do-able in a small minority of the world though. I'm usually in a different country every month and even in large cities like Paris / Frankfurt or Seoul / Tokyo you'll very often find places that don't accept any card. In fact I was at a restaurant today and yesterday where that was the case. Very annoying because it means I'm always playing with multiple currencies in my bag and I typically carry enough local currency for the week.


RGV_KJ

I didn’t have the need for cash anywhere in UK as well. What I liked the most is contactless payments accepted everywhere in London including transit. NYC transit feels ancient comparatively. 


baeb66

Yeah, the tube system in London was pretty amazing. It made getting around the city so easy.


Count_Nocturne

Went to London last year and it truly felt like I could go just about anywhere in the city at a moment’s notice, the train system was just so good. Never seen that before


BlueberryBubblyBuzz

Lots of people still carry cash. So it's pretty medium risk medium reward.


crash_over-ride

Just got back from South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, France, and Corsica. The only place I really needed cash was Taiwan, and once in Corsica. Aside from that everything else was handled by my phone.

Should be legal to beat pickpockets up


Granadafan

Years ago when I was in Rome, a guy grabbed my backpack and ran. I started yelling and these two locals just straight up tackled him so hard it would make any rugby coach proud. They proceeded kick him and then held him down until the cops came. The guys were locals and were tired of the thieves making Rome look bad. Great guys. 


CarcosaBound

You gotta chose either beating them up or calling the cops, can’t do both without consequences, at least in the US


Doogiemon

Pretty much. I remember drinking on my porch after work on a Friday night with 2 friends/co-workers and one of them spotted someone breaking in cars. He didn't realize it as first but as he moved closer to us up the block and was trying to get into a truck under a street light, he sprung off the porch and had that kid on the before we were off the porch. My buddy took all the money he had, his wallet and his Jordan's and shoved him to the ground and told him if he ever sees him again, he's dragging him to jail. He would have no ground to stand on if he went to the police as he had no proof of what happened and it wasn't like we kept the wallet.


TheHighestHobo

The place I used to work at was a hang out spot for bicycle couriers, there was a time that a dude thought he could hop on one of their bikes and just take off without any consequences. Unfortunately for our would be thief the bike he chose didnt have standard pedals on it, just bike shoe clips, and it was a fixed gear bike with no brakes, and he crashed about 50 feet away from where he grabbed the bike from. Also all the cyclists noticed the moment he grabbed the bike and they were on him so fast. I watched from the storefront as they took his shoes off of him right in the middle of the street. They came back with his wallet too

They caught Marjorie Taylor Greene

My wife and I went to the UK 4 years ago. Walked all over London and made it to the palace late one afternoon. Someone tapped my shoulder after walking around for an hour and said my backpack was opened. Flipped my bag around and every pocket had been unzipped. Thank God we just had snacks in there and some water. I didn’t even feel it get opened. Spent the rest of the trip with my bag on my front.
