First off, I ain't a writer and have been awake for around 18 hours so I hope this makes any sense.
Me and my friend (she is Japanese and I am very much not) where heading back from a trip to Hokkaido when suddenly our train stopped at Osaki station and they told us to get off the train and wait for the next one to take us to Ikebukuro. So we wait, train comes they tell everyone to get off and wait for the next. Rinse and repeat for like 3 trains and then suddenly they announce actually there is no more trains coming and they are closing now.
Now I have never seen a Japanese person yell at one another (I know it happens but like I just haven't seen it) until today. Wow they were all angry, as they should be! It wasn't that it was cancelled, they told everyone that a replacement train is coming and then suddenly it was "jk lol no". So the guy kept apologizing and they were all demanding some sort of compensation or like somthing, anything. A lost cause of course. Now my friend she wasn't going to give up. Slowly more and more people gave up till there was only 4 (including me, but like I was basically useless) alas as 3am rolled around the other two gave up as cops arrived on the scene, they were apparently called because the one dude filmed the argument and they wanted him to delete it and he didn't want to. Finally my friend gave up around 4am with no victory.
It was such a strange event and not gunna lie, the shitty wannabe punk in me enjoyed wasting the time after they messed up even tho I probably shouldn't feel that way. And now I got a weird story to tell people.
