ANA's customer service line isn't a toll-free number, so you pay for the call, yet they tell you there's a '2-hour wait.' You get charged just for listening to the hold music. And when you try to inquire by email, they tell you there's a '2-month wait for a reply.' Are they kidding me?

I lined up at the counter and when it was my turn I was told that even if it was 24 hours in advance, I couldn't check in the day before, but when I tried the self-service machine I was able to confirm my seat 🤣🤣🤣

Listing verbs ending in 'jiru'—such as 'ijiru' (to fiddle), 'kajiru' (to nibble), 'kujiru' (to crack), 'kojiru' (to pry), and 'hojiru' (to dig)—many of them have strange meanings. If you stretch it a bit, even 'ajiru' (to fiddle), 'najiru' (to scold), 'nejiru' (to twist), and 'yojiru' (to twist) don't have positive meanings. Thinking about why 'jiru' verbs have such odd meanings helps me forget unpleasant things...

I couldn't grasp the hidden meaning from the five characters 'annual plan'—that it starts at 980 yen, but is a 26,000 yen annual plan, and once you sign up, you can't cancel. I regret it.

DAZN is getting a lot of criticism, huh? I'm really grateful that I can watch J.League and international football through it.

I pay 30,000 yen a year to subscribe to watch soccer, but the top-ranked shows are professional baseball and basketball, which I'm not interested in. The internet connection is so bad that it never connects. There are always ads. The app crashes constantly.
