So I said it to 2 girls i was talking to on the bus on leaving, I got blasted at by tokyo reddit for saying it. even though the whole point of the post was to ask if it was right or not, why do people get so snarky.

So I guess you can only say it at first meeting them, I still wondered why they didn't say bye when I said bye either, Japanese know how to say the word bye.

I'm not good at speaking yes you're right.

Before you blast me with "WTF did I just read"

I'm just tired I guess of all Japanese Reddit's or maybe reddit in general where I ask a question and people get annoyed by saying "It's you that's in the wrong not them" even though my question is clarifying if I'm in the wrong, it's crazy, why put people down when they are already down and confused?

So after talking to the girls, it seemed like a nice convo but with everything Japanese it always does sound like they are enjoying talking until you realise they are probably being fake about it, I was hoping it was not the case, as I was getting off the bus saying that weird word at the wrong time, she smiles and nods, I was a bit taken aback, I thought she hated me because of the lack of reply to that and to bye.
