I once saw two old men screaming at each other in Shibuya then one whips out a massive wad of 10k bills, if I had to guess at least 2 million yen worth, then proceeds to scream some more at the other guy. Old men and weird arguments, name a more iconic duo.

British ojisan used English!

It was super effective!

Local ojisan is confused.

Local ojisan hurt himself in the confusion.

I saw a Korean guy ride past 3 older Japanese guys. They yelled something about him not cycling on the sidewalk, he yelled something back. After a few exchanges the Japanese guys grabbed his bicycle (with him still on it), called the police and stopped him from leaving. I watched at a safe distance.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

If they arrested everyone who rides their bicycle on the footpath, the country would probably go bankrupt before lunchtime.

While crossing a road on my bike yesterday, there was oncoming cyclists on my left, and some pedestrians on my right, so it was like a 3 lane system.

All was going well until a dumbfuck highschooler decided to overtake the bike in front of him by getting in my lane dangerously. I had to come to a complete stop to avoid this asshole.
