A pretty pointless off my chest story, that I wanted to get out, cause I feel that I overreacted and acted like a dick.
Me and my fiancé were in a temple, and as we were walking around we saw a European couple washing the sweat off their faces and hands directly in the chozubachi. I was like bro the ladles are right there, they’re quite obviously there for a reason.
I confess, I freaked out and started hissing “NO! no no no no no”. They heard me and turned around and I smiled at them and pointed to the ladles and said: “just in case you’re supposed to use the ladles”.
And as I walked out, my fiancé kind of made a point that they’re foreigners and I shouldn’t have hissed at them. And I’m only half Japanese, so I should know the struggle.
So, dear couple, If you’re reading this, I’m sorry I hissed at you like a snake, I could have definitely handled the situation better.
