While Japan¨s train system is universally lauded as punctual and convenient, there¨s always that one person on the daily commute that ticks you off.

How many times have you stood on a crowded train with elbows jabbing into your back or a drunk businessman falling asleep on your shoulder?

It¨s tempting, but I don¨t recommend 弦を羨てる (hara o tateru, losing your temper) or かっとなる (katto naru, blowing your top) while riding the train ! the troubles that could result from a public かんしゃく (kanshaku, temper tantrum) are legion.
