@ministerofcope If 'rules are 99% what others do', then as a visitor, your default baseline should be the highest common standard—the actual written law—not the minority who break it. Choosing to follow the bad 1% and calling it 'the real rule' is just cherry-picking to excuse bad manners.
@leeneogeo@CaughtIn4KHQ While some Japanese people also break rules or lack manners, foreign tourists coming to Japan should follow Japanese rules. Justifying not following the rules because others aren't doing so is a meaningless line of reasoning.
