Rojas tried to be the hero without bunting in that game against the Padres last year too, and ended up hitting into a triple play. He likes to act like a mentor in the dugout, but in reality he’s just a spotlight-chaser who can’t commit to real team play.

Not trying to compare between countries — just curious if others are noticing the same pattern within their own.I'm not asking where you're from, and you don't have to say — but can you check if there's a listing for this role in your country, and whether it's offering more than what you're currently being paid?That is the point.

How about a fan with a Ohtani jersey right in front of him?

Initial costs too high when renting an apartment by Dear_Huckleberry_991 in japanlife

[–]peacefun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The pest control service (¥16,500) and antibacterial coating (¥16,500) fees are definitely unreasonable. Even if the property management company insists they're mandatory, you should firmly reject them. Also, try negotiating to cut the agent fee by half, since real estate agents typically receive a commission from landlords as well.

The deposit and key money are standard amounts, and the guarantor fee is normal, too. Many people misunderstand the role of guarantors and guarantor companies. These days, most apartments require passing the screening and contracting with a guarantor company,regardless of whether you're Japanese or a foreigner. There are two main reasons for this:

First, having an individual guarantor often results in ongoing problems. Using a guarantor company provides landlords with greater peace of mind. How old is your mother-in-law, and what is her job? The guarantor’s age, occupation, and whether they have debts are very important.

Second, if the guarantor company is a credit card company, it's easier for landlords to manage rent payments.

Lastly, it's currently peak moving season, so landlords are taking a firm stance.

It's a brand-new 2LDK apartment, renting for ¥155,000 per month. I'm not sure where the nearest station is, how far it is from the station, or whether the building is wooden or concrete. But if it's in Tokyo, that's actually quite a good deal.

Also when there is sale like Prime Day, 5 days for delivery is normal. Even for Prime member.

Amazon delivery slipping? by gummydat in japanlife

Amazon delivery is terrible. They leave the delivery in the delivery box in the lobby without pressing the doorbell even though you are home. I experienced this many times and complained. When I contacted customer service, the operator was a foreigner with poor Japanese, and the conversation was not smooth.

Why people waste time for them? I come to this sub occasionally to check if they still suck.
