there, I upvoted you, so now you have extra points in compensation of your lost 12 points.
You can stop crying now, there, there.

I just upvoted you which gives you a a point back - and gives me about 24 more - I think?
...no, just 1 - oh well.

I’m sorry. What do you mean by that?
I'm pretty sure I would not like to live in a world in which I would never be offended.

True, but you may not arrive at your destination on time. Either way, it does make want to visit Japan.

The wife dragged me kicking and screaming to Japan 20 years ago, we went on a small group (12 people) tour and loved it. We have been back many times since, including a road trip in Hokkaido, there is an entire story about the GPS in that car.
I now take my grand kids there to ski, Furano was excellent last year.

You will if it's later than the connecting train you're trying to catch.

The Japanese rail system is amazing, on the Shinkazen, bullet train, you have a set time, 30 seconds I think, to exit the train before it leaves. If you are slow you get to exit the next station which may be 100 km away. Why - scheduling is so tight there may be another bullet headed for your rear carriage at 120 kph
Do NOT remove your shoes on the station. A favoured method of suicide used to be to leap in from of a bullet train travelling at 120 kph. Japanese remove their shoes before jumping.
There is also a 1m yen fine levied on the FAMILY of the suicide, as I said used to be a favoured method.

Is that anywhere in Japan or just in the train station? Paying approximately 10 grand USD so someone you know can kill themselves is kinda... um... um... .

Wow - it is actually scheduled to leave at the 40 second mark. That is pretty impressive.
It says the riders complained. Wonder how they even knew? Some of them must schedule their walks that precisely also.
Tough. They should just plan to get to the station 20 seconds early. Or for that matter even 40!

Sometime you should take a look at the layout of the Tokyo underground/local network, you may need to change trains 2,3 or more times to get to work, scheduling matters.
