This guy isn't going anywhere.

As Hong Kong prepares for Super Typhoon Haima's arrival, the city has been experiencing severe flash floods.

A shopping center in the city's Chai Wan district unfortunately became one of Hong Kong's most flooded areas, but one man didn't let that stop him from enjoying his coffee.

The Internet is calling him "Starbucks Uncle", and of course, we're obsessed with him.

The picture's photographer, Kristy Chan, told the BBC she was taking photos in the shopping center to show her family how bad the flooding was, when she came across the indelible man.

"It was quite funny," she told BBC, "Maybe he already has that many life experiences so the flood didn't bother him at all."

Enthusiastic Facebookers have taken to the photo's comment section to share amazing photoshops of Starbucks Uncle carrying on, regardless of surrounding circumstances.

At one point, he was even joined by another male shopper, who also got the photoshop treatment.

Starbucks Uncle, we hope you made it safely to your post-Starbucks destination.

But first, coffee.
