| Kelystic 10/08/18 9:52:32 PM #1: | Japanese man strikes sleeping woman in head with his phone after she leans on him in train. video in link https://twitter.com/SakuradaPC/status/1047465965313609729 A needlessly violent reaction to an everyday problem. So here are two things that wont surprise anyone whos spent much time riding trains in Japan. First, trains can get very crowded, so even if you manage to snag a seat, odds are the spot next to you is also going to be occupied. Second, a lot of people take naps on the train, since the rail systems are punctual enough to predict your arrival time at your destination down to the minute, and the virtual lack of theft means people dont worry about someone swiping their bag or wallet while they catch some Zs while riding the rails. Putting these two things together, it should be obvious that oftentimes if youre sitting down the person sitting next to you may be asleep, and the rocking motion of the car might cause the sleeping person to tip over and lean against you as they slumber. Suddenly being cast in the role of a strangers pillow isnt most peoples idea of a fun commute, but since its inadvertent, most people tend not to get too bent out of shape about it (especially since there are a variety of ways to deal with the problem). The man shown in this video from Twitter user @SakuradaPC, however, is not most people, and we have to say were happy that hes not representative of humanity society as a whole.

So deep is her slumber that shes now leaning against the right shoulder of the man in glasses, a face mask, and a business suit whos sitting next to her. After a few moments, the man calmly unzips his bag and pulls out his smartphone. However, hes not pulling out the device to kill time by surfing the Internet, or to send out a tweet along the lines of Dude, this woman on the train is totally sleeping against my shoulder. #commuting_sucks. As a matter of fact, he doesnt make use of the technology at all, because he just wants a blunt instrument to forcefully strike the woman in the head with. Its unclear whether or not @SakuradaPC has, or plans to, submit the video to the police. As such we dont know if the man will ever face the justice of the legal system, but heres hoping that, at the very least, he broke his phone by using it in such a hateful, idiotic way. --- ...
