You have a vastly different experience and interpretation than me.<p>First off people will stop during rush hour in Tokyo to help people. Happens all the time. Tokyo is not cold. I&#x27;ve never seen anyone have trouble getting someone to take their picture, ever. I&#x27;m not denying your experience but I&#x27;m going to claim it&#x27;s not common.<p>Second, while it&#x27;s sad people feel the need to take their own lives it is arguably the height of selfishness to do it by jumping in front of a train and putting out 50k+ people. I see no problem with recognizing that and being annoyed by it. Especially in Japan where putting your problems on someone else is the height of rudeness.<p>And I&#x27;m sorry if you think mothers on strollers aren&#x27;t a PITA on public transport in a city as busy as Tokyo. That sounds like a fully western (or maybe American POV). F everyone else, I have my needs and F you if they inconvenience hundreds or thousands of people.
