STRIKE THE LITTLE MAN

One of the things that would really make San Francisco a world-class metropolis is catering to the vengeful instincts of the modern urban man. Or woman. Such as old ladies who, for a minimal fee, will curse your enemies or coworkers that you have grievances toward. And it seems to me that in precisely that way a number of elderly women among the local community would be gainfully and usefully employed.

打你個死個頭！

A friend says that he regularly had that done, when he was living in Hong Kong. It made him feel better, and by framing the requests he made in a very focused way he was able to come to the United States over thirty years ago and start a succesful computer repair business. He wishes that the same service was available here, as it's nearly time to retire and he wants a bigger house and a new car.

In Hong Kong you can find these useful civil functionaries near the Canal Road Flyover (堅拿道天橋) right around Hennessy Road, conveniently close to fine lunch opportunities so that you may have a quick meal afterwards. Present them with data (names, age, gender, and more, like for instance a recent photo) plus the right amount of cash (no credit cards, no Apple Pay) and they will strike it fiercely with an old shoe till the paper rips, uttering imprecations and bad luck wishes.

[Hennessy Road (軒尼詩道) runs east to west through Wanchai (灣仔). Right around the Causeway Bay area (銅鑼灣) is where the Canal Road Flyover (堅拿道天橋) crosses Hennessy, easily reachable by public transport. The weeks leading up to the equinox, which is when hibernating insects awaken (驚蟄 'king jat') are the best time of year for this enterprise.]

There is obviously very good reason for that part of Hong Kong being the most expensive commercial rent zone on the planet. Valuable business services!

Imagine combining your break with improving the world. Here in San Francisco, you would probably write down things like the make of the car and the license plate number of the idiot who parked in a handicap zone or the driveway of your building, such as the morons who go to the donut place at all hours or need to have a drink at local bars to make their lives perfect. Or the people plonked in the bus lanes during rush hour.

Also the two funguses who park their Tesla wankpanzers on Grant Avenue.
And several political figures, including President Musk.
The entire damned Republican Party.
