Train Taboos Japanese Hate the Most #Shorts

●The other 7 train taboos that Japanese dislike the most

Because of its collectivist society, Japan has many manners and rules for everything, from table manners to how to take baths at an onsen.

Manners on trains are one of them, and among the various rules these are the top three things that Japanese people hate to see someone breaking.

No.3 Getting On and Off the Train

You should avoid standing near the doors if you’re not getting off at the next stop. If the train is too crowded when it arrives at a station, you should once get off to make space for those who actually want to get off. Also to avoid chaos, you must let people get off first, before getting on the trains.

No.2 Sitting Inappropriately

Do not stretch out your legs or cross them, and keep your luggages on your lap or above the luggage space. Never put them next to you on the seat.

No.1 Talking In a Loud Voice

You are basically required to stay as quiet as possible on trains, keeping any unneeded conversations to a minimum. Talking on phones on trains is considered to be bad manners and a train staff or even a passenger might ask you to stop.

In Mexico we do all this, except the last one, everyone speaks with their friends/family, and the vendors scream what they are selling as they pass through

[brenton]

Basically: "How to not be a jerk", applies globally.

[estopheles]

Honorable mentions:

Not molesting children or just people in general.

[XYZdude]

I'd love to take a Japanese tourist on the New York subway. Just to see the culture shock

[ThtSunbreaker]

Honestly that first one confused me initially, I thought it was just like "You can't get off or on"

[wdjllt]

Meanwhile, in ny/philly: "Literal gta lobby"

[theletters]

honestly most of this just feels like common sense, especially letting people get off first thats like elevator/train manners 101

[cjgray]

I remember seeing a comment about how Japan is just one big social experiment to see how many unwritten rules one society can have and I absolutely agree with it

[gigapuddi]

The biggest thing my dad always taught me when we went back to Japan was to take bags off on trains. I was raised in Australia but have since used the learned Japanese etiquette on trains because it just feels polite and right.

[tisbutascratch]

I'm Canadian and we follow all of these rules except for talking loudly, but even then people don't usually talk during their ride on the metro aside from teenagers.

[killua_thecatboy]

It's all about being respectful to other people on train stations letting them go first to get off and on the train and for me, I always follow these rules as a Japanese person.

[fatguywhobreathesfire]

I’m sorry, but the first rule just makes it sound like:

“How to properly use a train in Japan.
Step 1: *don’t* ”

[KuroNekoji]

Train taboos in Japan:
Me: "Thats the same as in my country, nice"

[peachygoats]

Here we follow the first rule as well! Its so annoying when youre trying to get off and you have to push people out of your way because they wouldnt get off so you could leave!

[hibana_oonana.psn.]

NY subways: 💊 💉👹🫦🗣🐀
Japanese trains: 🤫🌺😴😷👨‍✈️👩‍✈️

Train Taboos some Japanese Love the Most: Sexual harassment

[miepmiep]

The first rule def applies here as well and when the train is crowded it's also pretty common to place your backpack at your feet

[ithinkimightbe]

this should be everywhere honestly, i have when people rush their way into the train or turn their cellphone volume all the way up

[FengLengshun]

I see. Where is "not molest the girl next to you, " though?

[pendrablaze]

Learning every day about Japan makes my day. Thank you for your teaching
