>"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
>>539393603Why does the seat recline if it's a problem?
>>539393603Holy moly, I thought women in the US were painful to be around but this is something else, do japs have nothing better to complain about? Is this the worst shit that happens in their day to day life and yet they still feel compelled to bitch about something? Wtf
>>539393949It's only a problem when it's for tik tok shit. It's just anti white propaganda. Nips are subhumans.
>>539393603Sounds like you have a good case against the train designer. Imagine someone designs a seat that if you recline it back you can strangle the passenger behind you, you are not liable since you are using the feature as intended, but the designer created a faulty and dangerous seat. The only solution is to force train manufacturers to have all seats fixed in a 90 degree angle.
Asian houses smell funny their trains probably smell even worse.
>>539393603they made the seat reclinable, so therefore they fully must compensate the person that got damaged not the one using it.
>>539394516lol
>>539393603Gulity.Before reclining you chair you always check with the person behind you. Common curtesy.
>>539393949Nips have this weird concept that it’s ok to get hammered and to permeate the whole carriage with their stinky fish bento but it’s not ok to recline your seat without asking. They’re weird man. They’re all autistic really. Last time I had to go recycle an old powebank that had bulged. I went to the recycle place of my city. It was a dimly lit building, almost totally empty. I find the second floor counter where im supposed to drop the powerbank. There’s like a long corridor and two doors approximately 30 meters from each other. I enter through the first door and I see it’s just a giant office space and the door that’s further also leads to that same office space. I asked the first person that notices me where to return the powerbank. He tells me to follow him. We go out the room, and to the other door that opens on the same fucking office space through the corridor. Near that door there’s a small counter with nobody manning it. The dude goes around the counter, and extends his two hands so as to receive the powerbank “oazukariitashimasu”. Like wtf dude you couldnt just take it from me when I entered the office space through the first door and stumbled upon you? They’re weird as fuck man. Been living here 14 years btw and I find them more weird than when I arrived.
>>539393603You must be a real low IQ if you think this reclining complaint is Japan exclusive
>>539395533Autism the country I would say if I didn't see Japanese autists say that's a high context society and a hell for local autistic people
>>539394194Have you not been on social media? If you have good, stay away. But if you have you'll notice Japs are insufferable cunts and now that translation is backed into these apps its easy for everyone to see how much of a little cunt these slanty ass bitches are.
>>539393949>>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.because japs aren't sub-human niggers who have no curtesy for others and try to push others to their absolute limit, basically american niggers will push until they are in prison. This is incompatible with Japan or any civilized country.
>>539394523So you're saying weapon manufacturers are liable for killings and injuries done with their weapons?
>>539393603>could lead to "liability for damages"...>you may be obligated...>the decision will be made based on [...] the surrounding circumstances...>neither JR nor the law mandates...if you're not from a country which uses indirect communication, you might make the mistake of taking this literally, but see:>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedge_(linguistics)it's language designed to nudge behaviour, and designed to appear as though action is being taken when actually nothing has changedin reality it's just a suggestion phrased in a scary way; nothing will actually be done
>>539397014Tell me this chief, how are you going to prove that the Jap drinking a highball didn't spill his own drink.
>>539397197My lawyers will be in touch.
>>539396504Brother she just wanted to post herself making her 'cute outraged' face. The dude in front had nothing to do with it.
>>539393949Every train car I’ve been in on Japan, the seat moves forward and the tray on the back stays pretty much stable. Sounds like a bunch of bullshit to me
>>539393603I should sue as a visiting American that is over 6 and half feet tall, I constantly bump my head on things because all Nip men are manlets. Should I sue for injury?
>>539393603HOW CAN HE RECLINE
>>539397197>>539394523How can you do this to Takeshi, German bros...
The seat reclines backI still have space, yet I cryMt Fuji flies past
>>539397014/pol/tards will support an infinite level of governmental intervention as long as it's in the name of social cohesion. You faggots are cheering for digital IDs and social credit scores now. I despise you all.
>>539396504I didn't think seat reclines were a big deal until it actually happened to me on a flight.
>>539393949Fpbp
>>539398862if everyone reclines, nobody does-drg
Japanese problems>the guy in front of me reclined their seatSpanish problems>the high speed train crashed again
Do you ask the person first? Going to Nippon in the fall
>>539395533Normgroids just don't understand there's a place for everything, and everything should be in its place. The place for him to accept your powerbank was at the counter.
>is he...RECLINING HIS SEAT!!
>>539395533You're supposed to throw your used batteries in the ocean
>>539400907That's how Godzillas are made.The government does not want you to know this.
>>539393603it's simple what the japanese are asking forthat's for you to simply ask the person behind you if you can recline a bit so that they're awareyeah it's funny watching japanese nerds get blasted on twitter about it but seriously, just turn around and ask them
>>539400907it'll end up in the ocean anyway when a tsunami comes around
>>539394194Dude, life in Japan with Japanese is hell.
>>539399078pottery. also >dat flag
Fallacy of Compositionreclining your seat, talking on speaker phone or watching fuckin soccer on the bus without headphones... if you fail this test you should be culled or ensalved.
>>539393949Because people who arent niggers dont need engineered restraints to act civilized.
i like japan more and more.
>>539393949So nips have something to scream internally about
>>539393603>1pbtid memeflaggot >It's another "reclining seat" threadJeets and jews are right about you retards, they've found out what works on you and it shows.
>>539398862Bro still had miles of leg room and everything.
>>539393603I want to live in the kind of country that makes a problem out of reclining seats
>>539396752Wonder why that cunt doesnt say shit but keeps filming from the cuck chair.>>539398862strange how the vid sets in just when the reclining is happening.
Anyone who puts their drinks on the tray table rather than holding that shit in their hand or having a closable bottle on a train or plane deserves whatever the fuck happens. Shit slides around all the time. Last time i was in japan i was the only motherfucker in the green car, and i still open/drink/close my bottle of drink rather than put shit on slidy ass tables where
>>539399078SOVL
>>539393603>japs being invaded by indians and niggers, their temples being burn by jews and somalians and their politicians becoming sock puppets of any regimen that touches them>deflect it by making reclining seats the top important news of the countrythere's no amount of bombs that can cure this level of pussyfaggotry
>/pol/ - Politics and literally anything that happens in Japan
>>539408407go and start doing something really stupid and cringe and your country will get their own threads
>>539407027Oopsies
>>539393603Is it OK, Tone, that I recline the seat I fucking paid for? Can I do that?
>>539393603>Liable for paying for broken electronicsCompletely understandable>Liable to pay for the dudes clothes to be washed.Nigger thats retarded, whats he want like 50円? Suing someone over pocket change.
>>539404757This, it may be a problem in the economy class of a plane but not the fucking Shinkansen, especially with the tray folded
>>539393949/thread
>>539400833HE IS NOT CHICKENFUCK YOU!!!
>>539407027Gee it's almost as if international kikes have a stranglehold on Japan's media and news outlets that prevents them from saying anything about the genocide via replacement, just like what happened in our countries. Blaming the victims for what the kikes do is peak golemancy.
