In China, they are massively buying remote controls that help to "turn off" dancing grandmothers
It is not for nothing that they say that demand gives rise to supply. In China, people are actively buying up infrared remote controls that have recently appeared on sale, the only purpose of which is to turn off music speakers. An unprecedented interest in this accessory was caused by old ladies dancing wherever there is a free place for this.
The so-called square dance, with the participation of a large number of pensioners, has become a real disaster for residents of large cities of the Celestial Empire in recent years. Grandmothers gather in parks, squares, courtyards and sports fields to dance to the music pouring from portable speakers.
Loud music and emotional cries of vacationing elderly women irritate many and sometimes conflicts arise between dancers and ordinary citizens. There are also quite ugly cases, for example, in 2013 in Wuhan, one of the tenants of an apartment building, under the windows of which dances were regularly arranged, poured sewage on the heads of old ladies. And in the city of Guilin, in 2016, the column was simply shot with an air rifle.
Today, electronics manufacturers have come to the aid of silence lovers, who have released remote controls capable of turning off music equipment at a distance. The price of such a device starts from $ 15 (1000 rubles) and it is definitely worth the money.
Entrepreneur Han Lei told reporters of the Vice edition that with the help of such a remote control, he dispersed 36 "dance groups" in one evening. Usually grandmothers do not understand what happened and just think that their column is out of order. 19-year-old Lei has been selling remotes for 4 months and during this time he has sold more than 20 thousand pieces.
Yes, crowds of dancing grandmothers are not the only oddity of Chinese cities. Many things surprise our people in this country.
