Retarded Traffic Lights in Japan

-

There are a lot of awesome things in Japan as well as a lot of retarded things. Here are a couple examples of the retarded.


The light is facing a two-laned, one way street where the only way you can go is straight. The two lanes on the left merge into this street.

You can only go straight so why is there both a red light and a green arrow? Are you intentionally sending mixed signals? Are you playing coy? Are you experiencing some moral-related cognitive dissonance on whether to allow me to get what I want? Cause I’m taking it now you impudent huss.


This one speaks for itself.

10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT JAPAN - Well actually 20 odd things!

The last week has been horrible. I haven't been myself. I have felt horrible, I've had no motivation, I've been sad and really depressed. I don't know what to do. I really don't know if I should stay of if I should go. I have 18 days to decide. Right now I am not happy here. I don't actually know if I would be happy anywhere though. That is the problem. I trying to decided if it is Japan that is making me unhappy or if it's me. I have done a lot of thinking lately, about my life and about my future. I am going to have a rant to see if it makes me feel better. Hopefully it does. 1.  No one speaks English (not that they should). When JTE’s don’t speak English it is very frustrating. How can this country become better at English when the JTE DOESN’T SPEAK ENGLISH? 2.  People that spark up random conversations in the bus stop etc. This doesn’t happen back home – If would be rude and not done. These are the same people that ask “Can I practice my English on you?”...

Demonstrators protest My Number at rally in Shibuya BY TOMOHIRO OSHAKI  With the distribution of the controversial My Number identification code only a few weeks away, hundreds of protesters marched through Tokyo’s Shibuya district Saturday in a last-ditch effort to stop a program they say invades people’s privacy. Chanting “Stop My Number now!” and “No dangerous My Number card!” protesters called for postponement of the 12-digit number slated for mid-October. Organizers put the turnout at 400. The government will start sending all residents in Japan, including non-Japanese, an identification number it says is intended to spare them the hassle of doing paperwork to handle administrative procedures. Addressing a crowd before the rally, Yasuhiko Tajima, a professor of media law at Sophia University, charged that the My Number program is “unconstitutional,” citing its gross violation of privacy rights. The system was initially supposed to be used only for tax, social security and...

Man dead after setting himself on fire in bullet train; woman passenger also dies A man set himself on fire on a high-speed bullet train on Tuesday, killing himself and another passenger as the coach filled with smoke, a fire official said. At least 26 other people were injured, three seriously, mostly from smoke inhalation, Odawara Fire Department official Ikutaro Torii said. The man’s motive wasn’t clear. Police identified him from a copy of his driver’s license as a 71-year-old resident of Tokyo.  The passenger poured an oil-like substance over his head before setting himself on fire at around 11:30 a.m., authorities said. Kyodo News service reported that he used a lighter. Officials said the fire was at the front of the first car in the train, which was in between Shin-Yokohama and Odawawa stations heading from Tokyo to Osaka. “I said to myself, ‘This is bad!’” said Takeo Inariyama, a 54-year-old businessman traveling in the second car. “I saw everyone running toward me and smo...
