Elevator Molestation Scenarios from the Tokyo Metro Police

[Captain Japan]

Click on an elevator standing position (on the link below) to find out what form of molestation commonly awaits you, at least according to the Tokyo Police...

Looks like I won't be molested... my first choice gave me that disappointing conclusion

[FG Lurker]

Looks like common sense to me.

Rough translation of the text on the page:

"You enter an empty elevator, and before the doors can close a man you do not know enters. Where would you stand?"

[Taro Toporific]

You can hear the "best" elevator molestation stories from elevator girls who work in department stores. Several times they have told me taht they are under strict orders to never report molestators unless it causes any discomfort the other store patrons in the elevato. Supposedly, the worst elevator girl job getting molestated was Kinokuniya bookstore in Shinjuku. Although the Kinokuniya elevatoris now automatic, pervs say that's the "best" one in terms of crowding.*

*Kinokuniya Shinjuku's elevators violate most all of the present-day Japanese building and fire codes. I suspect that in the late 1960s when Kinokuniya Shinjuku was built, the building was not up to code either.

Well come on Taro! You can't just drop teasers and run! Share share!

If you use any common sense, the only position that would actually be "abunai" would be C, or A and B if you're facing toward the door.

D and E would be good since you can't be approached from behind, unless you're incable of keeping someone in FRONT of you from molesting you, or there are more than one molestors.

C on the other hand would leave you open since it would be a strange face someone behind you when you're in the middle of an elevator. Facing in a direction where you can watch everyone on the train would look the least strange in D or E, just a little wierd in A or B, but just plain strange if you were in C.

From a tactical standpoint at least

LMFAO!! MAN I THOGUHT THAT WAS FUNNY!!!

[FG Lurker]

From a tactical standpoint at least

You need to brush up on your tactics. "B", facing inwards towards the centre of the elevator is definitely the strongest point.

Why? Three reasons:

1. Close to the door, easier to get out when they open.
2. In a corner you can see exactly what is happening in the elevator.
3. Most importantly: You are standing next to the control buttons. Here you have both an alarm button *and* a telephone.

Have to consider the "weapons" available when evaluating tactics.

[Kanchou]

Yes, I know it's the strongest, but I don't think the other ones are nessicarily "abunai." And when I suggested A I meant that the person would still be in the corner like shown in B. Just use your purse and throttle that bitch (refering to the molester of course :P)

(Although what good will a fire arm help you if you're being molested? At least it would probably get the arrested, but it wouldn't nessicarily stop someone.)
