Boarding a moderately crowded train with my kid and we're heading for two empty seats when this obachan deeks between us and grabs the second seat. She immediately becomes very interested in her phone in a way that suggests that even if it wasn't on purpose, she now realizes what she's done, but damned if she's going to give up that seat.

I wouldn't have accepted it anyway, it's not a big deal, but it would be nice to see a little acknowledgment that she done us dirty.

On my way to Atami for family holiday. Got the green car on the Tokaido line for a little extra luxury. Only one choice where I can sit with my kid and the guy across the aisle is loudly drinking beer and chewing dried squid at a volume that would embarrass a fireworks display. Oh. And he just burped like a cartoon character. 😅 #realjapanlife #daydrinking
