“Please be considerate of passengers getting on and off”
Yikes! Here’s January’s train manners poster for the Tokyo Metro. Hmmm, now what is the pictured couple doing that they should, “please be considerate of passengers getting on and off”?

Actual train love photo thanks to our reader “Coligny”…
The above poster is one of the monthly series for the Tokyo Metro subways aimed at cajoling the so-called ‘rude’ Japanese public to have better train manners. In previous months, posters reminded riders to:
– The official start of the Japanese Vomiting Season
– Please party on the train!
– “Not torture eyeballs on jostling trains“,
– “Please do it like a Moose”
– “DON’T SWIM IN FRONT OF THE TRAINS“
—”Please no umbrella golf on the platform”

I have a somewhat disturbing picture taken in the nagoya subway were a sailor barefeet sitting on the floor look like she’s giving a blow job… I only I was not drowning under 1.5 terabytes of lolcats or Fark photoshoop threads picture I could show it… but I think it won’t be possible…

Sadly, the “Train Manner” (sic) posters may end with March’s edition. :-(
