mina2 6 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Friend of mine had his gloves nabbed from his seat at the restaurant when he was out at the toilet the other day. Nice new expensive ones. The only time I've ever heard anything like that though. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 lovely. Put your sweaty hot hands where other sweaty hot hands have been. Must be like sharing underwear with someone of the same sex. Link to post Share on other sites
XilR8 0 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 The Niseko bar jacket thing is unavoidable really when you have 100 people in a bar that has 30 coat hangers. Mix in a few drinks and you're just glad to have something to wear on the way home. Link to post Share on other sites

banno 0 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 There are good and bad in all races and cultures, where as I have found Japan to be one of the more honest countries I have visited. I hope this doesnt sound to bad but I have found in my many travels around the world that crime is higher in lower societ economies where crime is the only option for some people and here we spending god only knows how much money on wars and there so many people with nothing. However I am big believer of KARMA so hopefully I will be ok Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Banno... Bad things happen to good people too... but I also believe in Karma to some extent. However my obsessively God fearing Father in Law refused to insure anything as he felt he had the Lord on his side.... ....for me God (if you are of that persuassion) provides you with insurance companies so you can adequately cover loss or damage.... It is like the old joke: Man falls over cliff and is clinging for his life. Offers up prayers for the Lord to save him. Short time later a Boy Scout comes past and fashions a rope from what lays around and offers it to him, but the fellow declines saying The Lord will save me. He prays even harder. A short time later an off duty police officer stops and offers to pull him up, again declined. The Lord will save me. He prays and prays for salvation. A third person - a young lifeguard with his gear in the boot - comes and offers his assistance. Again turned away. Of course the man plunges to his death and when he arrives in Heaven he is most unhappy. "Lord I am one of your most faithful servants and despite my absolute faith that you would save me, you allowed me to die." The Lords response? Son, I sent you a Boy Scout, an off duty Police Officer and a blasted Lifeguard! What more did you want? Karma or not, if we don't secure our gear if it goes missing the fault is with us - scumbags are out there in all communities and they take the board or ski's that appeals to them - not the board of the bloke who is the least honourable ;-) Link to post Share on other sites
JA2340 16 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Know where you are going, Mamabear. However, I feel that the Japanese snowfields seem much better in regard to loss. Link to post Share on other sites

thursday 1 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Whatabout stealing from the resort by selling your unused ticket hours ? Link to post Share on other sites
Thundercat 60 Posted February 26, 2009 Author Share Posted February 26, 2009 lol! Would it be better to just toss the unused hours in the garbage? Link to post Share on other sites
s3phis 0 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 My most pleasant aspects of working in here is when people return lost property. Like, a wallet, a watch, a lift pass etc... it's like the biggest relief to see people that will give up the prospect of personal gain to return lost articles. That said, you won't believe what gets lost over the years... and never claimed. I think there's a collection of skis, boards, small articles and a lot of cameras, video cams, DSLRs etc. Link to post Share on other sites
