LOL!
People are sheep.
Same thing happens all over Tokyo every morning. And when the next one comes in 4-6 minutes it happens all over again. Funny how nobody thought it was funny when I used to moo I was getting on the train. Ah, maybe it was just too early in the morning.
You never heard of this before? The official name of them is “Pushers”
I think it’s both hilarious and scary at the same time…I mean come on, everyone in there is royally screwed if someone rips ass…whole new look to the term “Dutch Oven”
Actually the smell of cheap cologne covers that up. A little London Gentlemen or Blackbeard’s Delight goes a long way.
That’s insane and kinda scary. I would lose my mind if people were pushing and crowding me like that. I have a buddy who was stationed in Daigu, South Korea and he said when you’re walking through the streets people just walk in your line and ram you if you don’t move, and they just keep walking without apologizing. Think I’d end up slamming someone on the ground after awhile of that shit.

South Koreans are among the rudest people I’ve ever met. Out of all the countries I’ve been to it is the ONLY one I regret visiting. The one thing it has going for it is the food, pretty tasty.
Those subway pushers are pretty funny. You really only see them in Tokyo or Osaka during rush hour. Its pretty impressive how well people respond to being jammed into a train car…tempers rarely flare as its a real “shouganai” (“that’s life”) kind of situation. The first time I experienced it I started laughing uncontrollably. I’m 6’4" and the average Japanese person is like 5’7, so the train car was just a sea of black hair to me.

lol
I’d fit right in height-wise…not so much weight-wise though.
I would abso-fucking-lutely lose it. I do not like crowded areas or strangers too close to me that would be terrible. Also is there only 1 stop? Because if someone wanted to get off they would have a major problem with that…

My buddy said the food and the super deals on clothes were the only things that he didn’t hate. He also said people walk with their heads down and no one makes eye contact. Sounds fucking terrible.

Different place, different culture.
One of my coworkers and his wife taught in China for a bit. On one of the Chinese holidays, they took a train somewhere. There are a lot of migrant workers in China, so on Holidays they all go back to see there families.
He told me one of the train rides was over 24 hours or so, with a couple of stops and train switches. They had to stand the whole time and managed to take turns sitting on their luggage. People would be sleeping in the bathrooms, which they couldn’t get to in the first place, so they couldn’t take a leak either.
Sounds like hell to me.

I was going for ‘subhuman beings’, but I’d like to revise it to ‘sheep’. Thanks for saving my moral compass, dude.
I’ve actually been in one of those trains, packed to the gills during a typhoon when the power went down. FYI, trains in Japan are run on electricity. Imagine being packed in a train, surrounded by soaking wet people, pitch dark. Thankfully, power returned after a minute or two.
Djeez, I would get claustrophobic.

I’ve heard that about South Koreans from 3 other people and from more than a dozen people about what a Hell hole China is.
I’m in Taiwan and it has its weird problems with how to act when you’re in public (it seems there’s a don’t-say-anything-about-other-assholes-being-assholes-and-let’s-just-go-to-work attitude) but I knwo that it must be better than those two places.

I was stationed in South Korea and one weekend we took the train to Seoul. I remember one guy getting his foot caught in the door, then the train started to move. It was panic, but like 6 other guys helped pull his foot into the train just seconds before it would have been lopped off by the tunnel. It was pretty crazy, I thought for sure he was going to lose his foot. The train itself never got really packed so bad that it was like a sardine can though.
When we got to Seoul, it was nuts. People were fucking EVERYWHERE. It was like a sea of people, and yes, walking the streets I got pushed, shoved, and bumped numerous times. BUt I think it was more due to the fact that I was in awe of just how people-dense the city was, and not really paying attention, being a stranger and not really know how to manuver the streets, etc… People are definitely rude there, but I think it’s just due to the fact that there are so many fucking people, there really isn’t a point in apologizing every time you bump into someone. You would never get to where you are going!
The food was awesome though.
