Nothing new. Its a common practice in China.

@kspchew: oh, so it's usual for them to do that? that's weird, why buy a car with such leather and then not to feel it?

It is a Chinese thing and stems from kiasu-ism and afraid to spoil things or lose money (as if greasy hair resting on the headrest can dirty the leather permanently and cause the value of his car to drop!)

Same thing happening to their brand new iPhones and iPads.... must put screen protector lah, cover lah, all sorts of nonsense, make the screen so blur and unresponsive and the case so bulky until cannot enjoy it anymore. The iPhone/iPad in its original state is damn nice to use lor.

I had a friend whose father was some wealthy medium sized company boss. Long time ago his father bought a brand new Camry for his mother, one month old liao the plastic wrapping still on the headrests and the seats. I was quite confused... how come got people like that one har? Plastic wrapping feels shiok meh?

I got one friend, stay in an old condo, never renovated before in 20 years. Then when he bought another condo, a new one, and was prepared to move into the new one and rent out old one, suddenly went to spend $100k renovating the old condo JUST TO RENT OUT. You say stupid or not har?

Last time when i was young at my grandmother's house, her sofa all got headrest cloth and backside cover one..... I felt it was damn irritating lor... always took it off hahaha! I think last time they were afraid of people with smelly backside and dirty hair with lice sitting in their precious sofa. Wah lau!

When I was young, I had friends who ate all the rice first then eat the meat later, basically save the best for last.

That is, if I didn't steal the meat from them first before they touched it! Haha!

I thought that was really dumb. Good things must whack first before others get a chance to enjoy it at your expense.

maybe cover to protect from the sunlight?
