:clap: :bowdown: Taro, nice "find", as always when it comes to this series of posters.

I actually find this poster inspiring. This is one rule I am going to try to break. The manners police be damned.

There were a few other station signs in this thread, but I don't think I saw this one. I love it when literal kanji meanings and English transliteration intersect, heh.

:rofl: Nice find. Damn, are there other cases like this that I've missed? (by the way, for the up-and-coming kanji readers, the two kanji characters in "Shitte" can be interpreted as "ass" and "hand")

That's a classic.
Mr Kobayashi: First, I experienced a sort of overpowering feeling whenever I was in the room with foreigners, not to mention a powerful body odor coming from them. I don't know whether it was a sweat from the heat or a cold sweat, but I remember I was sweating whenever they were around.

And I thought I was the only one who appreciated "Shitte" and also the only one who carried a deep disdain for "Noborito", as those folks clearly are anti-Mexican food.

Long ago, I used to work a few stops from there. I asked my J-coworkers how that name came about, but nobody had a clue.
