Don’t know what to say but everyday I see very angry japanese people, younger or older but extremely nervous in normal situations. Yesterday it was a fight between two middle-aged salary man, the cause…a seat in the train.It was curious because the train was not crowded at all.
Another weird thing happened two weeks ago. A 60 something years old man start yelling in the train because a group of young students talking and laughing. Every people from the train was shocked because the old man became so nervous, yelling, spitting and hitting all the things in his way.

I’ve seen similar problems happening more frequently as well. In fact, I’ve even been pushed from a stopped train and yelled at by an elderly man for playing my PSP (not in the priority seat section, just by the door). I can’t put my finger on the cause, but I think it’s a combination of lack of communication and a strong emphasis on the “be courteous” campaign that you see in trains all the time now.
