[...] the type of behaviour that is not tolerated on Tokyo’s subways. Yet every year continues to find perpetrators who blatantly ignore the “good manner” [...]

Come on! The gentlemen simply had a very pleasant evening and needs a little rest while riding on the train. Have a heart.

At least the guy was kind enough not to be spilling a can of beer! There is hope!

Indeed I am.
I should have read the health warning on the wrapper of those whale burgers before I had one. http://www.loneleeplanet.com/2009/10/hamburger-lucky-pierrot/

YoMama, you’ve been known to do a few ‘pullups’ on an empty train, haven’t you?

nunnster, i thought that you were living testament to the link between a body’s decomposition and healthy defecation.

reesan, congrarulations on getting a mention in the Japan Times under the heading:
Tokyoites foot bill for Metro finger-wagging.
Yorifulji (the artist who creates the Manners posters) sounds like a sick pervert who is acclaimed as a genius. From the Japan Times; “His books reflect a range of topics from the body’s decomposition in “Catalogue of Death” to healthy defecation in “Uncocoro.” Yorifuji has won prestigious awards….”
WTF?

Pity it was just your name and not your picture like Keiko Suzuki, 67, Retired, who is quoted as saying “Young people should know better than to use makeup on the subway. We don’t need manner posters! I only once saw a man doing pullups on a train in the 1960s, but I haven’t spotted it since.” I mean if you have to wait 49 years for an offence to complain about, you deserve your face in the paper.
