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.
>>2062901 If 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
>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 downie Probably had McDonalds related back pain
>>2063108 Because 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.
>>2063117 I 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.
>>2063119 That 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.
>>2063119 The 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.
>>2063064 >>2062901 Japan 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.
>>2063231 Cheese 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.
>>2063293 Japan 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
japs 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.
>>2063757 You'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.
>>2062901 >What would you do in this situation? stand up to check my bag on the overhead, turn cheeks toward gaijin release my worst shinkansen bento fart
>>2062901 Between 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.
>>2064967 nobody 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
>>2064975 my 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
>>2063156 >a read light district is not for sightseeing wtf? literally the entire point is to go look at titties, posters with titties on them, titty-themed objects, engage with titty-laden interactive media, and then get really embarrassed with a hooker paying them money to keep lapdancing even though you're gay but don't want to offend the homies who took you out for seeming disinterested or ungrateful. how is the point of somewhere like kamurocho not for sightseeing? you literally go to look at stuff. mostly titty stuff but stuff you look at nonetheless. for that matter the reeperbahn is also for sightseeing, and i have actually been there, it's full of people just looking at stuff
>>2068026 Zero, I went in 2019 and 2020, before the 3rd world invasion. I also filmed the entire Yamanote line and parts of the Chuo and Yurikamome lines,
>>2067318 The seat is nowhere near touching him. I fly every month for work and have caught trains in Japan when I've been there. I will always recline my seat if I feel like it, except when food is being served. If someone politely asked me to give them more room, I happily would. But everyone in this thread complaining about muh legroom is a fantasist and a sook. I'm 188cm and I have no problem with people putting their seats back. As long as I'm not slouching like a NEET there is always room even on the shitty budget airlines economy seats.
>>2068600 whats a couple degrees of reclining going to do for you stop fiddling with shit like a kid the fact that there is a backrest is comfort enough or is your back that fucked up just take the sleeper if you want to sleep nigger this isn't narnia
