muikabochi 208 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Oh yes it is common. Neighbours, the newspaper person, someone collecting the neighbourhood fee etc. What really bugs me the most perhaps is when they actually ring the bell first. Then wait a while. And then try to open the door!! I sure don't get that one. Link to post Share on other sites
Chriselle 158 Posted June 5, 2013 Author Share Posted June 5, 2013 I joked with my wife saying that I'm going to make a little sign that says .. You will be shot if you open this door. She laughed, but nixed the idea.. Ya, Muika...the newspaper lady... She'd receive the first round of buckshot. Hate that douchebag. Link to post Share on other sites

brit-gob 9 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Our little neighbourhood has a code to screen out unwanteds. Ring 3 times and we know it's each other. Link to post Share on other sites
JA2340 16 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 And, now you've told the world about it, you'll have to change the code or shoot everyone that uses it! Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Maybe they have tried to come in then but my door is always locked. They perhaps have rung the bell as well but I've probably looked at the camera thingy and just rubbered answering the door!! A bit anti-social, me Link to post Share on other sites

pie-eater 207 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I remember when I first came here. Doing the "teaching" thing. Room full of kids. Mid summer. I didn't know how to control the heat, wearing t-shirt underneath shirt. Very uncomfortable. Very sweaty, and at times I could even smell it myself. No doubt I had a reputation of being a smelly gaijin there. Link to post Share on other sites

nagpants 1 Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Why do my Uniqlo keep cool vest things not keep me cool. Sounds like something for the ponder thread. Link to post Share on other sites
Chriselle 158 Posted June 7, 2013 Author Share Posted June 7, 2013 Class action lawsuit Nags... At least Uniqlo has started to make their XL size shirts a little bigger recently. Link to post Share on other sites
HighlyTrainedNovaTeacher 2 Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Thats good to hear. I bought a t-shirt that was XL last year and it wasn't very extra large at all. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 usually the t-shirts are fine for me but the trousers?? pfft.......Japanese guys must have thigh girth of a sparrow!! Link to post Share on other sites
Chriselle 158 Posted June 7, 2013 Author Share Posted June 7, 2013 Maybe I've shrunk...that tends to happen as years pile up. Last week I was pleasantly surprised by the shirt sizes. I buy pants there from time to time and was in getting some jeans... but about 5 or 6 years ago I was trying on shirts and the XL was pretty snug for sure....so I don't know when the change happened.
