>"I just reclined my seat on the bullet train and the highball that the person behind me had placed on the table spilled out..." On July 10th, author Keiya Mizuno posted a story on X that began with the above.>According to the post, Mizuno asked the person in the back seat, "Are you okay?", but was told, "I'm not okay," leaving him with no choice but to apologize.>Mizuno also questioned, "Who was it that said you don't need to ask 'Is it okay to recline my seat?' when you do?">In response, comments on X included "I always announce when I recline my seat" and "If you recline the seat slowly, their drink shouldn't spill even without announcing it." >If someone sitting behind you spills their drink, there's are risks like a laptop being damaged or clothes getting stained. In such a case, would the person who reclined their seat have a legal obligation to pay for repairs or cleaning?>According to lawyer Kaori Arakawa, who is knowledgeable about civil law, whether or not the person who reclined the seat is liable for damages depends on whether or not there was "negligence.">Article 709 of the Civil Code stipulates that a person is liable for damages caused to another person through intent or negligence.>Therefore, if the incident is due to negligence, such as "suddenly reclining the seat" or "reclining the seat forcefully," you may be obligated to bear the cost of repairing the computer or cleaning your clothes. >"Ultimately, the decision will be made based on factors such as how the seat is reclined and the surrounding circumstances," says lawyer Arakawa.>In general, neither JR nor the law mandates passengers to "speak up" to those behind them on the Shinkansen. However, JR does ask passengers to be considerate of those behind them. Furthermore, in the event of a legal issue, the degree to which the person who reclined their seat was paying attention could be an important factor in determining the degree of "negligence."https://www.ben54.jp/news/3719

Food tastes better when you are 40,000 feet in the air..
Not that retarded jap shit again from the maymay flag nigger.
>>539223801
>>539224075Americans and their retarded measurement system lmao>want to think about good food>forced to think about forty thousand feet instead
Japs losing their mind over reclining chairs is the funniest thing to me, like if you hate it so much why even make the chair reclinable?Thank God none of these autistic retards want kids.
Japs are stupid little bitches.The chairs are made to recline for a reason.Can't believe I used to respect them.
>>539224466Now I just see an entire race of spoiled Karens freaking out over normal every day things.
>>539224000Motorize the seats so they can only be reclined at an appropriate speed. It's Japan they motorize their toilets they can figure this out
>>539223801>first world problemssomeone spills their highball on a japanese train and everyone loses their shitmeanwhile americans are getting stabbed to death and set on fire by niggers on trains in the usa and nobody does anything.
>>539224075>40000 feetHow much is that in BBCs?
>>53922487440000
>>539224836it's not "1st world problems" but civilized country's problem vs. nigger country problems, which the burgers caused themselves, by getting all those monkeys to work on there tobacco and cotton fields
>>539227505can Japanese really have such a vintage cadence and style to it, or is this simply due to machine translation?
>>539223801fuck you , i am chicken!
>>539224100These fags keep posting this shit over and over trying to make it look like japs hate all tourists. It’s always the memeflag probably from greece again.
>We Japanese make something and it has a seemingly obvious purpose just by looking at it but the truth is that we included the thing because the purpose of it is to not use it for that seemingly obvious purpose>But I wouldn’t expect a baka gaijin to understand our waysWhy are they like this? They just make up bullshit for the sake of “Oh, we Japanese know it but you don’t haha”It’s like the kid on the playground who makes up bullshit rules to a game because then he’ll always be the best because he knows the secret rules>No you see you can’t hit the tetherball with your right hand the tenth time it comes around. I wouldn’t expect a loser like you to understand Double Dog Triple Infinity Plus 1 No Takebacks or Erasies Reversal on 10 and 12 tetherball rules
>>539223801So why does the Shinkansen even have reclining seats?
>>539223801Only an idiot would see liability damages from a single, piss-poor, seat-reclining slob. The meat of the tort is the manufacture of a seat which is dangerous by design. And the deep pockets you want to sue are flying around in private corporate jets like gods, not crawling on the ground like dung beetles.
People always recline when I sit behind them.
I've said it before, Japcucks are the lowest test insectoids on the planet>more than half of their men are herbivore men>virginity skyrocketing fertility in the dumpster>subhuman Takeshi is concerned about gaijin reclining chair built to be reclinedShouldn't you touch a vagina first before complaining about such non-issues? Country wide incel rage
>>539228686Shut the fuck up, gypsy.
>>539228897Dumb virgin faggot cry about a chair
>>539223801If it's such a bloody issue for the nips why dont they just make chairs that don't recline?
WHYDON'TTHEZIPPERHEADSREMOVETHERECLININGOPTIONONTHESEATSSOTHE"MEN"STOPWHINGINGLIKEROASTIESHow is it the rest of the worlds fault that your Shinto Buddhist Kamikaze Sun God worshiping of Emperors kept your children poor and malnourished on proteinless rice slop fish head gruel for generations so now you have the height and penile development of a Pygmy
>>539229062We want to recline it you dumb fuck. We just don't do it if doing so would bother the person behind.
>>539229210Salty sushi posting
I'M GOING TO DO IT
>>539223801i mean if you make me spill my drink on a 500$ laptop, thats pretty fair
I always pre load. Find something I can jam my feet up against, create maximum force, and then pop the button to recline.
>>539224000subtly make your life hell when you visit
>>539224764>Japan they motorize their toiletsIn what way?
>>539224075It actually doesn't hence why they add a shit load of salt.
>>539223801Japs whine about everything
>>539223801>crying over a spilled drink
If it's such a huge cultural taboo and japs have a stick up their ass about it, why not just build seats without the reclining option? Are they stupid or something?
>>539227810they have regional dialects and some are often compared to things like a country or southern american dialect/accent by translatorsit seems nips are pretty autistic about language and its heritage
>>539237797If an actual gook is cramped on these seats how fucking close together ARE they? jfc, I can't imagine going there.
>>539224874About 7
>>539223801The problem is you goyjin and niggers and poojeets don’t respect the culture. You goyjin are all overweight by BMI on average while Nips are lean. You’re not supposed to recline and if you do you’re not supposed to go back all the way. Fucking cattle
