The travel agency representative was worried about the bus accident in Niigata and was trying to assure everyone that their buses were safe!
Wait, more importantly, aren't you the tour company involved in that capsizing accident in Okinawa? Why are you just ignoring that? And on top of that, you're offering private accommodations?
That's what I thought, but since no one else commented, I kept quiet too...
A review of a ryokan (Japanese inn) stated, 'I threw away the water in the kettle provided in the room because it was disgusting. This is the first time I've stayed in a hotel that doesn't provide bottled water.' - Togetter
A story about a person working as an exhibitor at the University of Tokyo's May Festival who encountered a mother who looked apologetic and shy, and her elementary school-aged daughter who was an incredibly quick learner, is wonderful... but there's one thing that bothers me - Togetter
In the robbery and murder case in Tochigi Prefecture, some speculate the perpetrator was an 'invincible person,' but it's more likely he was deceived by the ringleader who told him, 'Even if you get caught, being a minor won't mean a serious crime.' - Togetter
A friend who grew up experiencing violence from their parents told me they were worried they might end up being violent towards someone in the future. I replied, 'People who can control themselves will be fine,' but then I teased my friend and got punched hard in the stomach. - Togetter
According to an author often criticized for 'depicting the enemy as too foolish,' there is always a reason for the defeat or the inability to achieve a decisive victory in history. 'There are inexplicable victories, but no inexplicable defeats.' - Togetter
At my son's high school trip orientation, the travel agency representative was concerned about the Niigata bus accident and tried to assure us that 'our buses are safe' → There was something else that bothered me more, but no one else pointed it out, so I kept quiet too - Togetter
I was demanding compensation from a major home builder, but they treated me like a mere troublemaker. When I sent them a copy of the meeting minutes, they replied, 'The minutes in which we agreed on this compensation were lost within the company.' I will never forgive them. - Togetter

I run a day care service, and one day the police called and said, 'We're looking after a client who can't get home, so we'd like the care manager to come and pick them up...' This is clearly beyond the scope of a care manager's duties - Togetter
While attending a drawing class for working adults, one day my perception of light and shadow suddenly changed, and I thought, 'I've completely awakened...!' but it turned out to be something completely different - Togetter
This is a strong opinion of mine, but does anyone understand? I think the best seafood bowls are those made only with local ingredients... I get really disappointed when they have salmon on top - Togetter
In the robbery and murder case in Tochigi Prefecture, a 25-year-old woman was newly arrested. It was also revealed that she was married to the previously arrested ringleader and had a child. 'Not a 'shoplifting family,' but a 'dark side job family'?' - Togetter
The fact that Japanese A5 Wagyu beef isn't selling well in markets in Australia and Melbourne... In some countries, the culture of thinly slicing meat doesn't suit them, and some Japanese people might even consider it strange - Togetter
'Has the demand finally been understood?' A 'foreigner burger' sold at a festival at Yokota Air Base is making headlines; the meat, grilled with such intense heat that the fire truck in the background seems almost ominous, looks incredibly delicious - Togetter
