I studied abroad in Japan and yes. Its all true. It got to a point where I almost felt weird holding the door open for folks, but I kept doing it out of habit, genuinely surprising the person behind me. I'm originally from Boston and people driving their cars honk their horns excessively as if the dozens of cars in front of them are just going to disappear Bruce Almighty style. I even saw a handicap person in Boston trying to carefully back their car into a handicap parking spot, and angry drivers kept just hoking their horn at them with zero patience. It was genuinely infuriating. Literally wanted to yell "let the poor guy park!" The traffic in Tokyo is so quiet
This is also in rural Milan it's very quite cold (during winter)and very hot during summer like Tokyo and it's beautiful
What does panhandling ?
Tokyo is not the most densely populated city in the world it is Mogadishu, Somalia Tokyo doesn’t even make the top 10 list
I wish I knew what panhandling was…
As someone who used to live in Chicago I can confirm that honking is never going to stop even at 3am HONKING HONKING HONKING
In the US people don’t hold door open in big cities, only smaller rural towns typically. And it’s more so men for women, rarely do women hold open doors. At least that’s how it is in Missouri, every state seems to have its own rules.
I was with you until that last part. Japan definitely has drug problems.
METAPHOR REFANTAZIO AD???????!!!! I WILL NEVER ESCAPE HIM
Imagine you're in an Uber in New York and your driver continously hunk like an ambulance on an emergency mission blowing its siren. Well…that's how they drive Nigeria, complemented with reckless and dangerous driving.
Unlike in the civilised world were about 10% may not know how to drive properly, 99% of Nigerian drivers don't know how to drive at all. Now the question is how do they obtain their drivers license? Don't even get me started on that if you don't want to be shocked.
On Nigerian roads, anything goes, including creating extra lanes where non previously existed, running red light at the ratio at which people stop on red light in the civilised world, doing 80mph in a residential neighborhood, disregarding the presence of pedestrians on a crosswalk etc. Foreiners dread driving here, not even for a mile.
Holding door is the key to German hyperkniggeness
Nee also sorry in Deutschland schaffen wir das doch auch die Tür aufzuhalten egal wie viele Leute da kommt du hältst die Tür auf und dann nächste der kommt hält die Tür für den nächsten auf ganz einfach
I was at manhattan once and did not hear many horns stop lying
Oh, theyre on something, they just do it away from view.
I'm sure there are some parts of Japan where they would hold a door open for you but that's probably just like less populated areas.
Since when western countries know etiquette
The honking one is good because the honking is bearly going to do anything
It might not be common that people won’t hold doors in Tokyo, but in the area I live it’s normal 😮
We don’t even hold the door open for each other it’s only like when like teens or younger people hold the door open for older people
Me who saw a porche💀
You forgot that they don't tip. Just like Indians. They don't believe in it. But I find it real funny that every Chinese restaurant and Dunkin' Donuts has a tip jar at the register. Sorry, did I say real funny? I meant extremely hypocritical. I respect their customs and don't tip any of them. Ever. Being a mover for over 20 years, Asian and Indian people NEVER tip. But they ALWAYS want you to do extra work and expect not to be charged for it. They also wait until the job is completely finished to complain about the service or falsely claim damage was done to their property and/or furniture in an attempt to have money taken off the bill. Without fail.
I stopped holding doors Asian tourists.. funniest time was when the door slammed into a Japanese tourist’s face. She was shocked an upset claiming in Japanese that she thought Americans held doors. I laughed and replied in my sh!tty Japanese that I know they don’t do I won’t for them.
No one thinks Asians are polite. They are some of the rudest people on the planet when it comes to western etiquette.
I fuckin hate when people hold the door for me. I feel like i have to hurry past. Id rather just get it myself. Good job japan
They're less likely to be found cuz of how they're treated. Lol its not a good thing xD
I'd say in the US about half of the people would hold the door for the person behind them. Less so in NYC.
I think I have only heard a car horn in my country a handful of times because it’s illegal to honk without good reason here
I think Hong Kong is the most densiest counties/city in the world…
So that’s why truck Kun thrives in japan
Japan: no honking
India: YOU AINT GOING NOWHERE WITHOUT HEARING LESS THAN 5 HONKS 😭
Japan is just rude
So why were u in Korea for the door thing
Yeah, im from the UK and we dont press the horn unless necessary.
Was unusual when i went to south asia and people would be constantly tooting the horn 🙂
Western edicate says hold door but karens say there strong independent womand and we dont do it much anymore
So the origins of not holding the door open is because of crowded areas, does the practice also appear in more rural areas? Like do people in rural areas tend to hold the door open?
What the hell is pan handle?
pan handlers? what?
Why do the British and Japan have a lot in common
Most likely not on anything 😂😂😂😂 that rang so true
i want to go to japan so bad 😔
I would like for folks to stop holding the door open. It’s so awkward and I always stop to pretend I’m doing something on my phone to avoid it.
For the door thing it's a insult. Evidently it's you basically calling the other person lazy or incapable. (FROM WHAT I HAVE GATHERED)
Nobody anyway except in the USA does honking for no reason in traffic
Look at all the Third World people in Tokyo. Oh, wait… 🤔
