Daily Japanese study :p

This is a public elevator. Please use carefully. (Please use with care)

1. Please don’t exceed the capacity. (“Let’s protect the capacity” would be word by word translation)

2. Please don’t drop gum, cigarettes or small rocks (小石？) on the sliding door gap.

3. Don’t rush, or jump inside.

4. Please don’t press unnecessary buttons.

5. Please don’t open the doors by force. (If you have a better translation for muri I’m happy to hear)

6. Don’t let small children use the elevator by themselves.

7. If the door doesn’t open by itself please make a contact with someone outside by inter phone (phone). Please don’t panic and wait. (Please wait without panicking? Please remain calm and wait? I’m not a linguistic major haha)

小石 is closest to pebble I guess.

But why have they installed unnecessary buttons in the elevator in the first place?

In this case having a better translation than "force" is muri. Though "Please don't force the doors open" sounds better.

That is not exactly some low quality beef. That’s some high grade stuff. Besides, the bike I bought was about 20 years old, and was in need of work. So...fair trade

actually I’m jealous . My offspring just gave me a lousy shirt with horizontal and vertical stripes like in 70s sitcoms or something. I use it mostly to get the trash out

Horizontal and vertical stripes on the same shirt? Is that like dazzle camouflage from WW1?

I've never understood why Japanese find it so adorable when little boy statues are pissing into a river, and then look so mortified and outraged when I do the same at Ueno Park or Kanda River.

Fucking Kanto prudes think their shit don't stink. Back in Osaka it's a prefectural pastime to piss in public waterways...for the men, anyway. The women piss in storm drains and shotengai gutters. The classy ones, that is.

They’re not the same color, apologies if you’re offended by inter-racial jellyfish couplings

I'm guessing by your pictures that you live somewhere in that region. Hope you don't mind if I ask, but how in the hell did you end up out there??

I only ask because my great-grandfather grew up not far from that area, about thirty minutes south of Yonago. Buttfuck middle of nowhere up in the mountains. Before I relocated back stateside I promised myself I'd go see the area where our family farm was so I waited till a long weekend, booked myself a couple of nights in hotels at Tottori and Yonago station and made the trek out that way from Osaka. I must admit the landscape was nice out there but I would seriously drink myself to death if I had to live there. Yonago itself wasn't too bad (met a cute chubby waitress there) and the women in that region have pleasant faces...small faces, sharp features, pretty dark eyes...but I don't recall seeing a single white person the entire weekend.

Always meant to make my way back out there one day. Wanted to visit more of the onsen spots and visit the family grave again. Getting old, I suppose.

I actually live in Yamaguchi, just as inaka. I drove up to Sakaminato just because. On the drive there and back I came across houses that were in the deepest reaches of BFE. Not that far into it because you could be in a decent sized town/city within an hours drive or so. It is not like BFE is Wyoming, Montane, etc. Maybe it seems much more isolated than some places in the US just because heavy urbanization is not that far away.
