I didn't get kicked in the face but yesterday, on the subway, I looked to my left and found out that the man I thought was talking on his phone (I had earphones and could barely hear him) was ranting at me. This had been ongoing for ten minutes when I noticed and continued for ten minutes more as I continued not to notice on purpose. I turned down the music a little. He had to have been mentally ill and he did not like Americans.

I like how when something like this gets posted here, all the internet tough guys come out with their typical "If someone was doing that to me, I'd..." comments.

Sounds like another case of drunk and stupid meets the internet.

Yeah, that Chinese guy got pretty lucky. If some guy kicks me in the chops, it's on. Granted, that foreign guy was acting like an idiot, but kicking someone in the face and and you being outnumbered 3 to 1, hmm. If it hadn't been in China or wherever, I doubt that guy would have cajones to do that. How the heck can you walk away after being kicked in the face? I guess we'll never know Laughing


You guys are forgetting the about the guy by the door wearing glasses and cap. He looks like if it becomes a 3-1 fight. He will make it a 3-2 fight.

I don't think for a lot of people it is being a "tough guy." It is just common sense. What would you do if someone kicked you in the face? Walk away? I guess in your case we know the answer.

I have enough common sense not to do something to provoke someone to kick me in the face. If they were drunk and talking smack, I would just ignore them and move on. The only time hands should fly is when your life is on the line.

That was Japan. The weigooks were saying "we're your friend" and the Japanese guy was saying "no, we ain't", then let his foot do the talking.

Foreigners having fun humiliating a local. Wonder where they picked up that behavior?

Right, Japan. The gaijin holding the Kirin Beer in his hand is saying, "I'm not your friend...don't touch....don't touch!".

If that Asian guy is in fact Japanese, I'm surprised. But he could have been very drunk or had mental problems also.

Yeah. And Samurai are walking all over Edo these days.

Going to go meet with my Geishi this evening. Should be fun.
