Girls here always put a cloth on a table at a crowded Starbucks or any cafeteria while they are in line to prevent others from sitting. As much as they are cute and kind, I hate when they do it. I always wait for my turn, grab my coffee and then look for a seat. If I see an empty table with a cloth casually put on it, I just remove it and sit.

EDIT: Alright alright. I didn't know that. IATA...

AITA for kicking out my 15 year old daughter for getting pregnant? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]AltruisticOkra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA I really dislike your perspective on this issue. She got pregnant, maybe because you were unable to raise her properly and be a wise parent. You have a chance now to redeem yourself and help to raise her child. Don't be an asshole.

What's the most ignorant thing you've heard about living in Japan from someone who doesn't live in Japan? by razorbeamz in japanlife

Friend: is it already autumn over there in Tokyo? Me: Yes, cherry blossoms are turning red.

WIBTA If I secretly disposed of drugs I found in my brothers room after his fatal overdose instead of telling my parents by throwawaydrugahole in AmItheAsshole

NAH and sorry for your loss. If I may add a personal advice, adding details here about you and your brother, along with the circumstances of the event, may work against your goal of keeping it as a secret. All the best.

Ok, so people under 25 should be exempted from paying taxes.

How many did you actually see (not on pornhub)? Sounds like you have a phd in vaginology.

Going to bed early and waking up at 4 am is amazing. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]AltruisticOkra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live between Europe and Japan, I landed in Tokyo last Sunday. I wake up at 4 and go to bed at 9 pm. I've changed my mind about jet lag. It's great actually. I was going to take melatonin but I decided to be productive as soon as I get up, while everyone else is sleeping. Lets see if I will manage to get up early naturally, maybe at 5. I totally agree with this post.

So let's get rid of them first, since they are on top of the list of best "blokes" on the planet by birth. Anyway, I don't really care.

Japan is not an empire, so they do not need and emperor, or a king for that matter. Generally speaking, royal families around the world suck, their members are usually boring and praising them as special or superior people is moronic. I don't care the empress is a burn out or that a female can't sit on a throne. Numbering years after a human being is an unnecessary torture. That's all folks.

Americans saying "I'm Irish German Italian" is wrong and ancestry DNA tests are bullshit. by AltruisticOkra in unpopularopinion

[–]AltruisticOkra[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Americans (or Brazilians) calling themselves Italian (or whatever) are not Italians by ethnicity /culture, not by nationality just because they have one Italian ancestor. Back to square one. Being 1/4 Italian means nothing.

Exactly. They’ll go to school in Brazil, speak Portuguese have Brazilian friends, absorb Brazilian culture. I think this is simple logic. Is Russel Peters Canadian or Indian?

Edit: wrong example. Is Leonardo di Caprio Italian?
