Manners are all well and good coming from gaijin, but good manners are not always shown by the Japanese. Maybe it's just me but on many occasion the local populus have been less than polite, to the point of taking my shopping bag of the checkout and replacing it with their own! prompting the response watashi wa saki desu! people pushing in front of me on the train to be either first on or off! I once stood inches away from the door to prevent anyone pushing in front and by god I couldn't believe it when someone stepped sideways in front of me. Is it just me or have others out their experienced this? Japanese manners in todays society are no longer a requirement and are typicaly two faced.
