00:00 Maybe getting your morning coffee isn't that important. Unfortunately, Hong Kong
00:04 is in the midst of some terrible flash flooding, getting 70 millimeters of rain
00:08 an hour at one point. But amidst this tragedy, a man braver than all of us
00:12 brings us a touch of humor. A local TV station in Hong Kong posted this photo
00:16 of a man just chillin' in a Starbucks, reading a newspaper while it floods. The
00:21 photographer is a 23-year-old medical worker, Christy Chan, who was just taking
00:25 photos to show her family how bad the flood was. And Chinese social media has
00:29 nicknamed him "Starbucks Uncle." People are even comparing him to "Pork Bun Lady,"
00:33 which is a photo of this woman who's trying to eat a pork bun in the midst of
00:36 a typhoon. Later, he was even joined by a younger man wearing headphones. And I'm
00:41 nicknaming this man "Take Those Headphones Off, There's Water Everywhere,
00:44 What If You Got Electrocuted?" And of course, because this is the Internet,
00:48 Starbucks Uncle is now the star...
00:55 And of course, because this is the Internet, Starbucks Uncle is now the
00:58 starbucks of some great Photoshop work. Like this one of him reading his paper
01:06 in the ocean. Or this one of him hanging out while explosions go off all around
01:10 him. And my personal fave, the shark attack while both men are aimlessly
01:13 looking around. Tony Cabret said, "Hmm, the newspaper says there's a chance of rain
01:18 today. Interesting. Oh well, so glad it's fall. This pumpkin spice latte is the
01:22 bomb!" Starbucks Uncle. For more trends like this, go to whatstrending.com.
