Hi,
This one is a bit difficult to explain without getting the “everybody does that” response; however, there are levels to everything. As long as I’ve lived in Japan, I still don’t understand why the majority of people are almost frantically in a hurry. An example: I’m in a convenience store and ask the girl at the register to heat something up as I’m paying for my items. I quickly step to the side to allow the guy behind me to step up as the cashier calls him forward. He transitions from rocking back and forth impatiently to taking a gaint step to the register and slaming his goods down as if to say “hurry up” to the cashier via body language despite the fact that she’s moving as fast as she can. This is not an isolated incident. I see it daily and wonder what compels it.
