Almost like saying "Ha! You lost!"
Soon after arriving in Japan I gave up my seat for an elderly woman. SHe thanked me, then plonked her grandchild down in the seat I had vacated!

timorborder - for those who was raised in certain societies/countries (something we share, I believe), we're taught that pleasure can be gained by doing such favors. However, in other societies, other values are taught. I like the fact nowadays people often talk here about 'common sense' which may be 'common sense' from their own culture, but not from another. From my upbringing, it's 'common sense' to check to see if someone is behind when you walk through a door, and if there is, hold the door for them. Now, for most people, that's not 'common sense' here, as I can attest from the number of times people have let doors slam in my face.
As others have written here, in Japan, if you have no relationship with a stranger (or no potential relationship), why show them any regard? It's just a waste of time, isn't it? ;)

Much enjoyable this 'football' game of which you speak. Yet little contact of ball with foot. More passing by hands of the ball. Confusing.

My guess is that Yukie Nakama is in 'Spring Fashion' to match the Spring season phone models. Not though she ever does anything for me. She's Ms Bland in my books, and I cannot fathom what others see in her.
