It's not just Japan. There's an old joke here that goes how do you know you're from Nova Scotia? When you find myself waiting for the light to change and there's no traffic in sight. At 3 am. On Sunday night. In the rain.
Disclaimer: I am from Nova Scotia. I have actually done this.
That's different, Japanese people don't do it because rule. The newfie does it because dumb.
Pls don't kill me!
Where does Newfoundland come from? Capers throwin' rocks at the shithawks.
So where do the Newfies come from? The ones who was too dumb to let go.
I'm a bad person.
Nothing wrong with being honest
