faithless 0 Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 We had a whole load of fire sirens going off at 6am yesterday morning. Yes. That's right. 6am on a Sunday. For a fire drill. No fire. Why on a Sunday..the only day I can effectively sleep in. Link to post Share on other sites
echineko 1 Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 I don't like that too. It's too early for siren testin I think. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 Do you complain about it? I bet you don't... There used to be regular aerial bombardment of commercial messages by small planes flying from Matsumoto airport. By complaining to the advertisers, the city hall, the governor etc., this weekly stupid harrassment has now become just a very infrequent and mild annoyance. Remember, these people are morons who also happen to be immersed in a 'context based culture'. Unless you tell them they're being berks, how else are they to know? Link to post Share on other sites
faithless 0 Posted September 11, 2002 Share Posted September 11, 2002 Complained? Yes, to myself, the girlfriend and neighbours. Formal complaint? No, of course not. It will do nothing. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted September 11, 2002 Share Posted September 11, 2002 faithless, how do you know that until you've tried it? I find that complaining often brings changes, often surprisingly quickly. These people are genuinely surprised to learn that not everybody gets up at the same time, and that there are less irritating ways of achieving the same ends. I'll bet if your girlfriend is Japanese, she'll urge you not to complain, but ignore her, she's just being stupid. Link to post Share on other sites
faithless 0 Posted September 11, 2002 Share Posted September 11, 2002 I'm sure you are a rather unpopular trouble-causing gaijin then in your neighbourhood. I'm not saying that that is correct, just probably true. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted September 11, 2002 Share Posted September 11, 2002 There's ways of doing it. And what you perhaps forget is that the silent (sheeplike) majority may not like the offensive behaviour much themselves, and are only too glad that someone has put a stop to it. And who cares? I'd rather be a gaijin than a naijin. Link to post Share on other sites
