Japanese foamers are so rude

I am currently travelling in Japan, decided to go to Odawara to photograph Dr Yellow because it would be pretty cool to have a photo of it as a souvenir given this is pretty much a once in lifetime thing for me. Immediately there are a billion gunzels lined up at the platform with huge telephoto lenses. I ask a fella "Hey do you know which direction Dr Yellow is coming from" to which he straight up lies to me and points in the wrong direction. I figured out pretty quickly where it was coming from. Dr Yellow rolled in, I was mindful not to step too close to the yellow line, or get in the way of people's photos/videos. Then afterwards, same asshole comes up, kicks me in the leg, and starts swearing at me in Japanese as if I could understand. Shows me his photo - my head is partially in the way of the foreground, not even blocking the train. What a disgraceful chopped guy.

Now I understand exactly why 'Toritetsu' people are looked down upon and I have to agree with the majority. If this is you, I am very sincerely sorry my head was 5% blocking the foreground (which you can edit out using Lightroom or crop it out easily) and get a blood grip mate. Regardless - I'm pretty happy I got to see Dr Yellow
