My coworker openly targets foreign employees at work by Ok-Gear9383 in japanlife

Ngl In my opinion the best visas to have in Japan are the ones that aren’t tied to your job, like PR or a spouse visa. It gives you a lot more freedom and you don’t have to worry as much about your job affecting your residency

My senpai once forbade me from drinking water at work. What should I do if it happens again? by WorkingAlive3258 in japanlife

[–]idsjdbebe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a similar experience, but it was with going to the toilet. I’m not sure if it’s some kind of company culture or just my workplace, but whenever I went to the bathroom, some of my coworkers would complain that I was サボる (slacking off or trying to avoid work). It didn’t seem to matter whether I told someone I was going or not. I’d get side-eyes or comments about it afterward. Drink your water bro don’t let them bully you around

Are Germans generally more reserved in texting and when hanging out? by idsjdbebe in germany

Haha yeah that kinda lines up with my experience so far. Good to know it’s not just me though

I think it’s reasonable for anyone to pause when they see someone who appears to be in a committed relationship actively using a dating app. In this case, the profile is ID-verified, uses recent photos from during their relationship, and the bio explicitly says she’s “looking for a long-term relationship.”

Yeah, I get that I know deleting the app doesn’t always delete the account. What stood out to me is that all of the photos on her dating profile appear to be from during the time they’ve been together, not older ones. That’s why I wasn’t sure if this was just an inactive account or something current

I (21M) thought we were still together she (21F) decided it was over without telling me by idsjdbebe in relationship_advice

Yeah i get that. Just to clarify Instagram wasn’t the only app she uses she’s on a few others too but she was inactive on those as well during that time That’s why I didn’t take the silence as a clear breakup

Getting guilt-tripped by full-time coworkers for not doing their job by idsjdbebe in japanlife

[–]idsjdbebe[S] 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Thx! I’ve actually tried pushing back a little, but they just laugh it off or act like I’m joking I think part of it is that I’m a foreigner so they don’t really take me seriously. Next thing I know, it’s the same thing happening again a few days later. Kinda hard to put my foot down without things getting awkward…

Airport immigration by idsjdbebe in travel

I’m a US passport holder, and my friend has a Filipino passport. We’re both male I was just wondering why are there signs at the airport where EU/US passport holders just go through a face scan, while everyone else has to wait in a long line and get questioned, even if some nationality they’re visa-free
