What would you do in this situation?
"may I recline my chair""[smug] no, gaijin""alright" *reclines anyway**seethes impotently on twitter*
Tell the incel in the back that reclining is the exclusive right of the passenger in front of you, universally. if he doesn't like it, he can feel free to jump in front of a train and kill himself.
Earlier trains -- pre N700 -- had tables recessed into seat backs. If someone did a sudden recline and there was a laptop on the table behind then the recess could catch the top of the screen and... toast. The N700 and later have (mostly) flat seat backs (and (as can be seen in OP pic) the table latch is in a beveled recess) so that sudden reclines should push laptop screens out of the way without destructively trapping them in the table recess. Evolution x intelligent design. Side effects small but still turdy behaviour.
>>2062901If that train has a similar seat clearance as an airplane, I would politely tell the guy in front that there's not a jam in the seat mechanism keeping him from reclining, and please stop trying to break my knees. One of the downsides of being tall they don't tell you about
>>2062901fly because shinkansen seats (tokaido at least) are awful. give me my amfleets please
>>2062901turn 360 degreeswalk awayget in the careverybody walk the dinosaur
>tryna put my head down on the folding table and zzz>fat bitch in front of me is fully reclined which would be fine if she would SIT THE FUCK STILL and stop bouncing around literally sitting up and slamming her weight down every two minutes, passengers either side of her also looking at her wondering what the fuck she’s doing taking up one and a half seats and twitching like a downieProbably had McDonalds related back pain
>>2062901i'd have been passed out for hours by then and being much ruder by snoring and farting after too many drinks in the VIP lounges
>>2063055The seats are possessed by demons
>>2062901>>2063064If reclining the seat without asking is such a taboo in Japan, why aren't there any signs warning against it?
>>2063108Because some things are common courtesy. If you do something that negatively affects others, you at least ask them about it.Needing a warning sign for every little thing is retarded.
>>2063113It seems pretty necessary in this case because asking before you recline your seat is simply not part of global train etiquette.
>>2063116Maybe learn what the local train etiquette is before traveling. Being stupid and rude are not good defenses in life.
>>2063117I believe warning signs would be much more effective than counting on the goodwill of tourists who are already violating Japanese norms, but you do you.
>>2063118>Already established norm that you should not recline your seat on an airline without asking.>Hurf durf I am a dumb gaijin pig that does whatever he wants.
>>2063119That appears to be the situation, yes. The Japanese can either tackle the issue by making it an official rule or they can just keep making impotent seetheposts on twitter.
>>2063108If shitting in public is such a taboo in (every country except India), why aren't there any signs warning against it?
>>2063121
>>2063108YOU DON'T NEED TO TELL PEOPLE IF ITS A TABOO! THAT'S WHAT THE WORD TABOO MEANS!!!
>>2063152/thread
>>2063156You know how every accusation is a confession? Well,
>>2063156>at least use sumimasen or arigatou to show you're trying to understand japanese>japanese hearts will relax
>>2063156>Kabukicho is not a place for sightseeinglmfao absolutely delusional
>>2062909This is the way>>2063119The norm is that the you are entitled to adjust your seat as you see fit, provided you don't unduly prevent the normal use of the tray table with unnecessary shaking. Reclining is an intended feature of seats on aeroplanes and apparently these trains, so expecting it not to be used is unreasonable.
>>2063214You could posted>I'm a rude niggerand saved yourself the time.
>>2063223Can't tell if you're shitposting or if you're an actual chigyu.
>>2062978You mean 180, retard?
>>2063064>>2062901Japan is among the most xenophobic and racist countries out there. Of course when you travel abroad you should do your best to fit in and be polite, but also the japanese will still hate on you for absolutely no reason. Japan as a country and a society is so bad they really don't have any lesson to give me.
>>2063064maybe he's talking about how some people recline so violently that they nearly break the seat
>>2063231Cheese gyudon is the best product that Sukiya offers. Funny that it got adopted as a slur by fags that couldn't comprehend anything except their boring ass beef on rice.
>>2063360That's because you have an incel trait
>>2063291You need to be at least 36 to post here, kid
>>2063293Japan is the most autistic country out there more like, their entire culture is centered around catering to people on the spectrum by making it acceptable to be antisocial weirdos, it's no wonder so many aspies want to visit
>>2063360Agreed tbdesu. Cheesy beef on rice is a god-tier combination no matter how you slice it.
>>2063375I don't want to hear that from Asia's Bogdanoff
>>2063156>You can live without a trash can on the street corner...does Japan not have public trash cans or waste bins?
>>2063425there's like one per districtjaps are super weird about trash, you have to sort it meticulously yourself into transparent bags and sign them to be disposed of, otherwise they won't be taken away on specifc days for each type from the dump too and doing that wrong can result in fines. that's one reason why some people have bags of trash all around their house and it's a common depiction in the media/anime.
>>2063441I just put it all in burnable because fuck the rules
>>2063441I’ve seen plenty of trash cans right aside those vending machines, they were everywhere.
>>2063757You're not supposed to throw a starbucks drink or an onigiri wrapper in there. Those trashcans are supposed to be for drinks that you can get from a vending machine.
>>2063108>If reclining the seat without asking is such a taboo in Japan, why aren't there any signs warning against it?better question: if the japanese take such offense to leaning a seat back, why did they include the reclining mechanism in the chair? surely it's cheaper to buy single-piece molds instead, the only explanation is that you are intended to lean back when you desire
>>2062901"I paid for this seat with my own hard earned money. if you don't like it, tough shit, go jump out of this plane."
>>2062901>What would you do in this situation?stand up to check my bag on the overhead,turn cheeks toward gaijinrelease my worst shinkansen bento fart
>>2064087Based and fart-pilled
>>2063152
>>2063108I think it is in most countries. If it isn't at night and you're gonna sleep you're not supposed to recline
>>2063863You're a big guy
>>2062901Between this and the trash sorting thing an anon mentioned in this thread I am beginning to think Japan is an awful place to visit/live in and can understand why those fuckers can't reproduce.
>>2064967nobody in my building sorts trash properly, most people put cans and bottles in the bins but that's it. trash sorting is the least of reasons not to live here
>>2064970Elaborate more if you could.
>>2064975my city has six broad categories of waste and about 20 subcategories that need to be separated. there are four pickup days per week for the different categories, you're supposed to put waste out before 7am on pickup day, not the night before. in reality all of these rules are ignored and people put everything but bottles and cans in combustible, whenever they feel like it
>>2064960For you.
>>2063186The weebs are probably worse than the japs in that regard, they're not throwing rocks in from a glass house.
