The incident,captured and shared on the social media platform Threads by user mappc4real,quickly went viral,prompting both outrage and amusement from netizens.
The incident occurred on a bus route in Tuen Mun, a district in Hong Kong’s New Territories.A witness observed a passenger placing buckled shoes on a seat to hold their place in line while seemingly stepping away. The careful observer, noting the shoes’ positioning, took a photograph, highlighting what appeared to be wear marks suggesting the shoes had been recently worn – implying the tactic was a deliberate attempt to circumvent queueing etiquette.
Netizen Reaction: “Down?????!!!!!!!!!”
The photograph sparked an immediate and overwhelmingly negative reaction online. Netizens expressed disbelief and anger, with one user posting a string of exclamation points: “Down?????!!!!!!!!!” Others questioned the audacity of the act, asking, “What can you do? Score!” and “Scared? The latest method of hitting the tip?”
Humor also emerged, with some users finding the situation “so funny” and wondering what else the passenger might have left behind. However, the dominant sentiment was one of condemnation.
Numerous comments called for the passenger to be forcibly removed from the queue, with phrases like “kick to him!”, “I will kick the shoes,” and “must be kicking out the shoes” appearing repeatedly. One user even suggested a forceful “Pocket 12 yard kick out the bank.”

Escalating Queue Tactics and Online Threats
The incident prompted further discussion about increasingly inventive – and disruptive – queueing tactics. Some netizens jokingly threatened to escalate the situation, suggesting thay would use items like melon seeds or even leg hair to mark their place in line. One user referenced a previous incident, stating, “altered the wolf the old lady on the fast food restaurant to put a packet of tissues.”
This incident highlights a growing concern in densely populated Hong Kong regarding queue etiquette and the lengths to which people will go to secure a place in line, notably during peak hours or for popular events. The use of personal belongings to reserve spots is a common, though generally frowned upon, practice.
