scouser 4 Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 Yuck. I hate the whole slipper thing. Putting on the things that've been worn by 10000 others in the public buildings. Give me a break. Is that supposed to be clean? Link to post Share on other sites
nekobi 0 Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 you all know the thumbs game? where you have to guess how many thumbs people raise? whenever i play with my friends, the loser has to do a dare- something gross like drinking the dregs of everyone's drink or eating a ciggy or something. i had to drink beer out of a slipper at a hotel. ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww Link to post Share on other sites

Ocean11 0 Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 I thought eating ciggies killed ya? If you soak about 3 in glass of water and drink it, it kills you dead. S'what I heard anyway. In private, I like to stand my chopsticks in my rice just to be naughty. Doing it in front of my wife drives her strangely frantic. Link to post Share on other sites
clairey 0 Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 nooo i commit shoe crimes in japan.. not aussie "In private, I like to stand my chopsticks in my rice just to be naughty. Doing it in front of my wife drives her strangely frantic" heheh i thought i was the only person who did that! Link to post Share on other sites
Dokumanju 0 Posted March 8, 2003 Share Posted March 8, 2003 Standing ur chopsticks into the rice is a practice reserved only for offering food to the dead. Which is why prolly no one in north east asia does it (dunno bout SE asia tho). Quote: go hard slipper boy! ha ha clairey u gotta be an aussie or kiwi. luv it. Link to post Share on other sites

Ocean11 0 Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 I think it's sort of an insult to the person who cooked the food, and also it may represent a curse on the company present. But asking Japanese people why they do what they do doesn't always get you an answer you can understand. Link to post Share on other sites

Doing it in front of my wife drives her strangely frantic. Why is that? It seems to drive J-people mad.? It represents incense at a funeral, and so is an omen of death. The Japanese are pretty cool about it... try doing it in Taiwan! (a country where whole fourth floors are often left completely empty rather than have a floor that sounds like death).
