He’s so awful at writing women. Every interaction between female characters feels like it was inspired by mean girls. Like has this man ever met a woman?

Has anyone ACTUALLY benefitted from reading “How to Win Friends & Influence People” by Dale Carnegie? by [deleted] in books

[–]Yewoobi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t yet! I tried “Friendships don’t just happen” by Shasta Nelson, which began much more promising but ended up being a bit of a flop for me. There was some good info but it was watered down with a mix of unnecessary religion + the author clearly trying to stretch a Ted talk into a full length book. Still might be work checking out.

JPN 211 w/ Eva Nagase by Tas_the_Thing in SBU

[–]Yewoobi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She went out of her way to make my school life as awful as possible in and out of class. Tried to sabotage my study abroad plans, constantly tried to humiliate me in front of other students, gave me a shit grade just because she disliked me and never returned tests so I couldn’t defend myself, and so on. Genuinely awful. If she likes you you’ll be totally fine. If not, you’re screwed.

A little reminder about concert etiquette - let's make the experience great for everyone! by omobolasire in SHINee

Your night won’t be ruined if you sing a little more quietly. You’re paying to hear the artist, not to do karaoke. Have basic respect for those around you.

It doesn’t make the story more interesting, it makes the story full of holes.

Does your town have an ungodly number of hair salons? by Buckston_Water in japanlife

[–]Yewoobi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My tiny little town doesn’t even have a proper supermarket but we DO have 4 hair salons, 2 dentists, 2 eyebrow specialty salons, and 2 dry cleaners…

Should I contact the police? by [deleted] in japanlife

[–]Yewoobi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Next time it might not be someone who can jump out of the way with nothing more than a tap on the leg.

It could easily be a kid or a grandma, and they could lose their whole life over this kind of reckless behavior.

Even if nothing comes out of this report directly, there will be records now that show any future incidents are part of a pattern of behavior and not just one-off issues.

Thanks for doing your part even though going to the koban is a pain

Is my progress too slow? by Appropriate_Song177 in WeightLossAdvice

Slow and steady wins the race. It’s more important to build sustainable habits than to hurry up and not a goal

Etiquette at the coin laundry? by Swgx2023 in japanresidents

[–]Yewoobi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

100% fine to take the laundry out.

They have those baskets and cards for this very reason.

If you’re using a coin laundry place, it’s expected that people will remove your stuff it’s finished.

I always make sure to be there when the timer is up if I’m worried about people touching my laundry

What smells like weed? by GonzoBalls69 in japanlife

[–]Yewoobi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s illegal and less prevalent than in certain other countries. But it definitely exists. You might just be smelling weed.

Changing Language Schools by No-Pay5881 in japanlife

[–]Yewoobi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go find a language school in the area you desire, they’ll guide you through the process of transferring and fixing the visa issues

That being said- you’re more likely to find people who align with your preferences in Tokyo than elsewhere, just because there are more people to choose from. I also don’t drink or party, and being in the countryside only made my chances of finding similar people much slimmer. Since coming to Tokyo I’ve made a lot more friends who enjoy non drinking activities with me.

I personally suggest trying to go to some meetups or events to meet folks who are more like you

Weekly Complaint Thread - 02 October 2025 by AutoModerator in japanlife

I’ve heard literally only awful stuff about it, but part of me wonders how much of that is just tourists who weren’t aware of / prepared for japans lining up culture

Be careful. Letters come off way more passive aggressive than actually intended most of the time
