I've declared war on bad manners here in Shanghai. In the past I would just shrug my shoulders or shake my head when somebody tried to run me over, spit in my path or push me out of the way, but after six months of suffering I'm bloody sick of it. Twice now I have told off people trying to push their way in to the lift before others (including me) have stepped out, and yesterday I stopped a bus from cutting in front of me while I was legally crossing the road. I also wagged my finger at the driver, and pointed to the lights to indicate exactly what she was doing wrong. Really, there is no excuse for presumably intelligent office workers or professional drivers to be so ignorant. It's not a matter of cultural differences, it's all about good behaviour that ought to know no borders.
