top ten most ironic things about japanese

10- as obsessed as they are with separating their recyclables, they end up in the same can.

9- single girls pulling out wireless curling irons at coffee shop tables to fix their hair while most married women dress in plaid aprons.

8- excellent public transportation, all of which stops at midnight- why the party rep? i guess that's why you can sleep in internet cafes!

7- you can't book anything online- that would jeopardize the jobs of people who aren't as efficient as computers.

6- there is a form for everything- which must be filled out correctly and fingerprinted or stamped if imperfect. this process can take up to 6 hours to complete because someone has to find the form in a filing cabinet and someone else has to write and stamp everything. (see point 7)

5- but didn't js invent computers?

4- japanese don't have central air or heat because they are worried about effects on the environment- because it's more important for your the environment to be a little less inconvenienced than your sweating or freezing family.

3- ovens and dryers are not standard japanese equipment- which makes housework more tedious, thus housewives more necessary. see point 6.

2- you must take your shoes off everywhere, which is more sanitary than sticking your feet in communal slippers. ( i know a girl who got a foot fungus from that). you can't wear your shoes inside BUT you can wear the slippers outside and come back inside without changing them (?)

1- public bathrooms have either heated toilet seats or you're squatting over a hole in the ground. no soap. no toilet paper. if those things bother you, carry your own. but isn't this supposed to be a sanitary country?
