Calling people out

[wuchan]

Today I was on getting on the train and I was the first in line. Some low level salaryman type (smelly, bad suit, unkept shoes) ran around me like someone was throwing gold coins to get a seat. He jumped in front of me less than 20cm from the edge of the seat and got mad at me because he bumped into me trying to turn around. I didn't move at which point he uttered a very angry "NANI?". The entire car looked at him as if to say "WTF are you doing?" From my prospective he didn't deserve to hear any J-go from me so, as we stood face to face, I just said, " Fuck You."

He sat down as if he won. To my surprise, quite a few people offered me their seats. More than I could count. I chose to stand but I was glad to see that I wasn't the only person to call that cunt out.

Kinda hard to know if the people who offered you their seat were actually on your side or simply trying to appease you and prevent a major confrontation.

They offered after I turned away. They kept offering for the next ten minutes every time I looked away from my phone. I have been in the plastic tatami cell/room enough times to figure out hate and respect.

The weather is getting hot and muggy, tempers are getting frayed, the challenge is to stay cool.

There is no knowing what is going on in people's heads these days, assume the best, prepare for the worst.

j-brain standard is getting worse and worse recently. i do feel it here and there.
japans moral is one guaranteed by the eyes of community, not religious one. so if community collapse, it doesnt work.
so ive thought NOT fuking Morals BUT Logic should be introduced in the classroom of junior high school.

If they weren't so stupid expensive here I would be tearing up the mountain roads in a M3 but due to economics I use a 423RWHP v36 sedan.


Why you hate ze germans? Well, other than the obvious....

THIS

Hot and muggy brings everyone that much closer to popping. A few summers ago a nutty guy on a very empty train went all crazy because the people I were with we speaking English. My friend walks straight up to the spastic asshole and puts out his hand with a "Hi, I'm Mike. What's your name?" I've never seen such a vile, angsty dude go so quickly from 英語うるせえええい！to "maneemu izu taka, naisu to meeechuu" He started following us out of the station and wishing us a good trip. disarmed and charmed...

The station near one of my previous apartments was the starting point for a lot of the trains and one morning I was first in line waiting to board when an empty train rolled up to the platform. Even so the salary man in the medical mask who was second in line starting aggressively pushing right through me as soon as the doors opened. It was extra annoying because not only was he guaranteed to get a seat regardless but I wasn't even planning to sit down because I had to transfer in three stops so I did the get-off-hell-off-me shoulder shrug. Instead of sitting down the guy turned around and stared me down like he was going to do something. I was very close to snatching the mark off his face and giving his a straight to the nose but luckily I thought better of it and just walked right up to him, put my face about a centimeter away from his, and said "fuck you" in a very serious even tone while keeping eye contact. He immediately sat down and pretended like he was asleep.

Don't get me wrong. I've been pushed around on rush hour trains plenty of times and do the pushing when I have to but this was something different. In retrospect I regret not punching that little bitch.

The force is strong within this one. Mikey rules! I never have the heart to do that and just go to the default Vulcan Death Stare (aka Hiroshima Eyes), but I always admire it when I see it. Truly it is the way forward. PS I think they get pissy not from bigotry per se but from the exclusion, and their inability to eavesdrop. Which is cute in a really childishly vile and despicable way. It's a shame that MacArthur got the "Nation of 12 year olds" so wrong, because it's so true so often it would be nice to rehabilitate it.

The ones Wuchan and SJ are talking about are just walking punchbags, but good on ya both for not participating. IME, only once was it actually worth it.

what you are saying is always like ones by an unsuccesful late teenage boy pretending to be smart at rebellious age.
i guess you are at age 40s or early 50s. your intracerebral time still remains to have stopped at around 20 years old???
take care

When I was younger and had plenty of time to kill, it was totally worth it to give em a quick one to the face, balls, etc. Nowadays, I just remind myself that eventually this asshole will get his from someone else so it's not worth wasting any of my own time/effort on it. Laugh, shake your head, let them soak in their own shame. (the exception being if they physically engage you, or your friend/lemur first)
