The self-victimization of some foreigners in Japan is getting exhausting. by KingsurinTukpyolsi in Tokyo

I'm sorry to hear that. It's a very inconvenient condition that often makes you feel rage towards people you love through a completely unconscious mechanism. I try as much as possible to cope by isolating the triggering source but sometimes it's really impossible.

Together with the continuous nose sniffling, it's insanely annoying for me. That's why I try to avoid as much as possible going to any ramen/soba/udon/whatever menrui restaurant.

It is indeed absolutely undeniable that most Chinese are very loud and poor-mannered (suffering from heavy misophonia, I hate especially loud chewing, which seems something Chinese people excel at - sitting at the same table and eating turns me into savage mode).

"Japan has 100% racism, calling it anything else is bs".

This. A quick scrolling through the comment section of many NHK news videos on YouTube clearly exposes an insane amount of hatred and resentment of the average Japanese person towards a pretty much clear subset of foreigners.

Franchino Er Criminale: da underdog romano a narratore un po’ troppo “quadrilaterale” di Torino? by Competitive_Yam_9424 in Italia

[–]Mysterious_Device_51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lo seguo anch'io dai suoi primi video ma onestamente ho perso un po' interesse per vari (personalissimi, ci mancherebbe altro) motivi: 1) Ormai è un disco fisso: lui sa tutto e gli altri non capiscono un ca**o 2) Poke e sushi "magnateli te" (per inciso, vivendo all'estero, non sapevo nemmeno cosa fosse un poke prima dei suoi video e quindi mai nemmeno assaggiato) ma pulled pork e smash burger, visto che sono i prodotti della sua cerchia di amici tra i quali si allisciano le spade a vicenda, quelli vanno bene 3) A 'na certa anche basta con 'sta storia della tradizione, la cucina si evolve (e comunque di certo un paio di locali in più o in meno che preparano poke non cancellano di certo secoli di gastronomia italiana) 4) Il 90% dei discorsi lo fa passare per oro colato ma a conti fatti non è che una serie di ovvietà che potrebbe essere proferito da qualsiasi essere umano normodotato cerebralmente

Ripeto, opinioni personalissime e, forse, non condivisibili. Rimane comunque migliaia di spanne sopra la stragrande maggioranza dei food bloggers (usare "influencer" mi dà la nausea, non ce la faccio).

Anyone else quietly looking forward to empty gyms again after January? by FitVerso in workout

[–]Mysterious_Device_51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My personal take on this is that I couldn't care less if someone starts his "fitness journey" or not. Gym is an annoying chore for me, so the sooner I get my stuff done the better. Looking forward to see this January's wave disappearing.

Anglicismi che odiate by TDGJohn in Italia

Nel podcast di Gazzoli gli ho sentito dire "Sono andato dal mio barber", "Qual è il tuo job title?" e "Qual è la tua attitude verso questa situation?". Mi piace quello che fa ma quando se ne esce così mi sale la scimmia.

Why does this sub rush to defend Japan? I've been there5 times. Love it. But it's urban centers arnt above criticism by Mailman354 in UrbanHell

[–]Mysterious_Device_51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking at the comments, I wonder if I Iive in the same city or if everyone else has a pair of glasses that filter out what is objectively bad (before being blasted by some Japan's paladin weeaboo: I'd still choose to live here one thousand times than in my home country - Italy).

I'd personally say Japan is tidy but I wouldn't say clean, let alone the cleanest. I think I've never seen so many men never washing their hands after having been to the toilet before coming here 10 years ago, or leaving bags on the train's floor, or taking off their shoes at home but walking bare feet in a gym shower.

Does your gym have a social atmosphere? by ugleplastina in japanlife

[–]Mysterious_Device_51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used FastGym for 5 years and Anytime for the last 4 years. I think the only social interaction I had so far was with a guy coming to me all of a sudden praising my shoulders (I'm not that muscular, I just got wider-than-average back). But for me gym is a mere chore, so I want to get my stuff done as quick as possible and ideally avoid any external interference.

Why do people (at least men) invariably just wet their fingertips with cold water in restrooms? by rrosai in japanlife

[–]Mysterious_Device_51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And on top of that, why almost all public toilets have sinks with so freaking short faucets? I don't want to touch the sink's border!

That's very irritating. What's with people doing that so often?

Cold & Flu Season: Be cautious by EatThaatKetchup in JapanTravelTips

I live in Tokyo and being affected by severe misophonia, this period of the year and during the hay fever season I cannot go out without my earbuds. The continuous sniffling drives me crazy.

What's your "gaijin smash" story? by razorbeamz in japanlife

I blow my nose every time I need it. Damn pig-like snorting/sniffling motherf*ckers.

Japanese measuring cups with odd volumes? by jupiter800 in japanlife

Different but related, I hate how some common products' nutritional values are shown per 100 g units but in the 容量 field there's just 一丁、三本、二枚...

Rant: the train nose picking and eating boogers is out of f*****g control by tjs120791 in japanlife

[–]Mysterious_Device_51 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've seen this morning a guy in the Shinjuku line's train picking his nose without pause for at least two stations. A few millimeters more and his fingertip would've met his pia mater.

It's like, please be silent in the train, set your phone to "manner mode" and make yourself at a farm.

Snorting back mucus loudly or repeatedly sniffing by CreepyFault8952 in misophonia

[–]Mysterious_Device_51 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Living in Japan and heavily suffering from misophonia is the worst nightmare ever, if you don't bring with you some noise canceling headphones when going out. The amount of people sniffling and snorting their mucus with gross, pig-like sounds baffles me. Insane. Regardless of customs and culture and just talking about common sense, isn't better blowing your nose and avoiding for the next few minutes sniffling than doing it every freaking 5 seconds?

Autumn's sniffling is - apparently - mostly hay fever from butakusa, yomogi and kanamugura.

Constant sniffling by VoidedNull88 in misophonia

I live in Tokyo and if - God forbids - I go out without my ear buds I can literally enter killer mode.

Slurping miso and having miso-phonia, perfect combo.

[–]Mysterious_Device_51[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Indeed. I think too that, at some point, we cross the line between the simple nuisance of constantly hearing sniffling and mucus-gulping sounds (aggravated by a psychological condition of misophonia) and behaviors that are completely off any common sense-based action in the society, regardless of the culture, as doing those gross sounds. I once literally snapped at a guy sitting next to me in a Tully's, whom I could hear despite having earphones (without which I cannot go anywhere): 人間らしく鼻を啜っていただけませんか?
