Some people just want to be done with life, but there are no humane options. I hope for legislated change in this regard.

Ah, 'construction worker'. That ol' euphemism for occasionally working chinpira. ...and throw away the key.

This article is wonderful, if not for allowing all of this lived experience to be added.

Did this not win an Ig Noble prize? Old news?

Go Mei!!

So many haters. Give it a try. It really is a hoot. And dangerous AF.

...the first thing that hit you at Narita when you walked into the main area, was the faint smell of stale smoke...

That's what it is! I couldn't put my finger on it.

Yep, back in the day, the Joban Line was all smoking. And drinking. And fishy fish stick eating. Ahh, the good ol' days. Except for the smoking, of course.

Correct, Fightos様, that is also the case for the yakuza.

BTW I work in the waste industry. I am both amazed and appalled at the dumping/recycling ratio in my 'progressive' region.

Parenting in moderation, Herve? You, my fellow human, are a genius!

OMG! They live among us.

Imagine for a moment that you are poor Kuroki, in your little sedan, parked nose in between a highace and an elgrande, that weren't there when you parked up. You start reversing out slowly and you hear/feel a slight bump.

Imagine for a bit longer that you are a mum walking through the carpark, bub strapped to your front thereby creating a minor blindspot as you crane your head to talk to your precious cargo. The next thing you know, your knees has been taken out and you collapse on the ground on top of baby...

There was no malicious intent and you could easily transpose someone from any gender or age into this position. Unfortunate all round. RIP little one.

I'm sure the local surfers are elated that it 'ended safely'.

Perhaps it's time for Japan to treat alcohol the same way as other recreational drugs. Didn't think so.

It was the discovery that my hard-earned plasma was being sold with no compensation for me other than a cookie that stopped me from making any more donations.

There's another one to add to the 'dangerous creatures of Australia' list.

RIP fellow mariners.

No link to highlights?

Or buy a raincoat and stay dry.

Available in two sizes- not big enough and nowhere near big enough.

Step one, wear your helmet like you want it to save your life, not look 'cool' on your corpse.

Garypen, now you've got me interested in his employed status.

I'm willing to suggest that two isn't even the actual number of incidents. He should swing as an example to other cops.

It's a good idea. Now if they can only prevent the sound of screaming kids from entering the restricted zone...

I'm not sure that the starving masses are impressed.

It turns out her husband was hospitalised last year and placed in a coma after becoming very ill. She's clearly tried this before.

"Police said they are questioning the victim about any possible reason why her acquaintance stabbed her."

I feel doubly sorry for her having to endure both the stabbing and the J cop inquisition.

0.019grams? That sounds like half a seed. You know you can buy hemp seeds to feed your budgie with? Maybe some spec of a leaf had blown through his window and landed in his dorm. The 'stimulants' on the other hand? Not cool.

At least the clerk didn't let him leave the store then call the cops claiming that the customer had stolen the beer. No receipt to prove his purchase.

Those Taipans have had a lot of issues. R.I.P.

They'll get their comeuppance in prison. Oh, hang on...
