Me, non-Japanese: Adjusts bags so one is front and the other behind me to make room.

[Mr__Beef]

I would simply jump off the balcony to avoid the interaction entirely

Non-japanese: Walk sideways like a crab

The “walking apologetically” is so accurate. 😂

[silkylounge]

The way they subtly apologize to each other for existing always gets me

[gaspault]

As a Malaysian, I'm also taught to walk apologetically or bowing a little/nodding when you pass someone at such an alley. Not sure it's because my upbringing was similar to that of Japanese but I feel it's just a sense of respect.

Don’t let these guys fool you. They are Japanese in all three of the clips, including the non-Japanese ones

[ichiliebe]

Midwestern Americans would be like “I’m so sorry, let me just sneak right past you. So sorry.” And just crabwalk sideways while looking embarrassed and sheepish 😂😅

[nicolaomalley]

I love how the guy walking towards the camera intentionally speeds up when he sees the other guy in the second part. 😂

[私は愚かだ]

Introverts trying to let another introvert pass him

[bananamanchester]

British: both go left, both go right, apologise profusely, be embarrassed for the rest of our lives.

As a Canadian, my solution is to immediately throw myself against the wall and let the other person to walk past, even if I'm the one holding the bags

[justinthompson]

I love Japan’s culture! So much respect for others.

[Rakib-usis]

How to be a japanese: 1 always be hesitant about everything but do it anyways.

[KITTYkatWATSON]

Japanese is basically Canadian without the "oop!" And "sorry!" 😂

[Papayaa_]

When people bump into my shoulder i feel like saying
"HEY watch where your going or we're gonna have a problem"
but i dont let my intrusive thoughts win😭

[Blaidd]

British: both people go the same side and end up doing an awkward dance while saying sorry to each other.

[babyree]

I’m from America and I think it’s rude when people aren’t considerate of others passing. I think many others think the same too. Some people just aren’t taught manners growing up

[savingeric]

Been to Tokyo and Yokosuka Japan several times. Some of the nicest people on planet Earth. ❤
