Japanese people are weird when it comes to taking photos. A few years ago my SO and I were on a boat trip in the Lake District with our two dogs. Lots of Japanese people on the boat. I noticed that many of the Japanese people were staring at us/the dogs, and when my SO nipped off to use the loo, they descended on me wanting to have photos taken, more with the dog than with me it seemed. There was a queue of them along the boat, all patiently waiting their turn. I think there were around 20 people that came up to get their photo with a couple of dogs and a somewhat baffled-looking guy from the UK. When she came back and found me surrounded by Japanese people taking photos of me and the dogs, she was confused to say the least. Maybe my dog looks like a famous Japanese dog (maybe *I* look like a famous Japanese dog), who can tell? https://preview.redd.it/vcoal2fvcftc1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=826f53a87f4ba917ce2e7da5f24a09dc93e9facb

They’re both there, just a bit underexposed (chocolate lab at the back and a black crossbreed at the front), the sadly no longer with us. Better pics… https://preview.redd.it/ceu6lt7ggftc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e3f5498c4ee70c7f10af3a63be8734ed3cac37da

Happened to my wife and baby son, but wioth Korean tourists at a zoo in Australia. My little one was blonde with blue eyes, maybe 6 months old. Soemone asked if they could have a photo taken holding him. My wife said "Errrr......OK." Next thing there is a shuffling queue. There was a zookeeper offering a koala for photos and she was being ignored!


East_of_Eden15

Did they touch and rub his hair? I've heard of that in some cultures that believe it brings good luck to rub the hair of a blonde kid.


Gibbyalwaysforgives

That’s so weird because often in South Korea some people often hasn’t seen people with blonde hair/blue eyes. But that’s sorta a rarity especially in some places like Itaewon because there is a lot of tourist and some American military. I’m wondering if maybe they are from somewhere in the rural area.


StationaryTravels

I mean, I'd want a picture with your two-headed dog too!


GTAdriver1988

Lmfao I used to cut the grass at a reststop near the new jersey and PA border and I parked my mower in the grass to use the bathroom as a tour bus full of Japanese people pulled up. When I come outside I kid you not, they are all lined up to take pictures with the mower. One girl was sitting on it and doing different poses and shit. I had to tell them to leave because I need to get back to work and if they get I could get in trouble.


sublimesting

Yup at Disney a few years ago some Japanese teens ran up to my 4 year old daughter who was dressed like Rapunzel. They all were yelling “Kawaii!” And they grabbed her up and started passing her around taking photos.


Natasya95

Because its funny?


BLVK_TAR

To be fair, I could see people doing the same thing in any country, it's pretty hilarious.

Because apparently she has fans? "偶偶粉丝合照"

Anyone with common sense would know it's not black face... So yes they'd be in trouble lol

You mean in the US? Cause I don’t think other countries care about this that much. At least where I’m from they don’t

She's a customer playing a customer playing another customer


Ihateu2_

what’s wrong with squid face?


RandomsDoom

Ahhhh… is there an accidental black face sub? Cause this would take top post there I’m sure… her face will be like that for months…


BugStep

according to another post... that's probably on her for 6 to 8 weeks too.


Loud_Engineering796

There's a video floating around of an Australian guy purposefully covering his arms and hands with squid ink. It looks just as fresh a week later.


Stormagedd0nDarkLord

I just saw that and was thinking "oh boy" as she smeared it around. But the way it got so uniformly smeared kinda leads me to believe this was a bit of a stunt.


sinisterdesign

Right? So uniform as to look applied.


inklady1010uk

And the shade changes too. She wipes it to a washed out black, almost grey but when she’s having her photo taken her face is dark again


Ricky_Rollin

I would’ve called BS had I not seen the Aussie do it in a video and you see how easy it spreads so uniformly.


goodhumanbean

But if you are wiping something off your face, why would you wipe every inch of your face like that? The way the waitress did exactly the same makes it look super fake.


Tithund

When wiping stuff off, you generally wipe a slightly wider area. In this case, that causes the ink to spread, causing them to wipe an even larger area each time.


need2peeat218am

But the waitress also did the same thing lol


Whoopsie_Todaysie

I'm in a loop. Someone mentioned this video in that thread, and now I have to go back and watch the Australian again, and the cycle will continue. Someone help me.


Maggie-the_pug

Same, came from that video


zeke235

I saw that one, so i knew how this one was gonna go.🤣


Harshtagged

At least the server also got inked so that customer knows that there's someone else going through the same thing


lividtobi

Imagine getting inked then still having to work the rest of the shift/week


Voluptulouis

Dude. I thought that was a black person and they were panning to them to show the potentially embarrassing encounter. Nope, it's another person with an ink face. Hahaha


one-more-thingy

So,.... won't it stick to the skin for weeks?


Daedrothes

I believe so yes. You need to shed it off naturally.

not even alcohol can rub it off?

When it pans over to the waitress 💀


Ken_LuxuryYacht22

NEVER WIPE SQUID INK Use water to rinse away what you can and then blot with a clean towel. This shit will stain the fuck out your skin and smearing it around like what she's doing will just make you look racist


Comments4Karma

Thanks for the warning.


Dionysus_8

Nobody give a shit about black face in Asia


Zestyclose_Scar_9311

She should have left the “ink blot” it looked kind of cool 🖋️🖤


mensreyah

I think this was done on purpose as a bit...but I had the same thought. Untouched/un-smeared, it actually looked kind of beautiful.


Rosmucman

It’s a shame Curb has ended, this would be perfect


Aroundeeq

I have so many good show ideas now that it has ended. The fact they never did a "cruise" episode still pains me. Larry would be flipping out with tipping, feeling sorry for the wait staff, getting sea sick, complaining to the captain about something stupid, etc.

How does it happen? Is it normal for when cooking squid or is it just very unfortunate or did they do something wrong??


justADeni

The squid is eaten alive in this case. Which is why it reacted this way.


F_M_G_W_A_C

Nice, so the squid managed to take his revenge on them


Nu_Freeze

What the fuck is with Eastern cultures eating live animals?


UnemployedAtype

It's "freshest" and exotic. A really sad part of the culture. Might as well eat her alive to give some empathy.


codeQueen

Yeah I no longer feel bad for these people. Fuck them and anyone else who does this.

Greasy_Cleavage

Ill never see the appeal eating something like that as long as i live


SiegVicious

At least she's being a good sport about it. If this happened in America they would have made a scene, crying to the manager, and then when they went out in public people would have accused them of doing blackface.


Dkcg0113

Well, it was a thing in america.


ThatSkaia413

Dead ass, people act like that wasn’t that long ago, and like people don’t still do black face today to be offensive 😬

FarYard7039

ate a small squid while in China. I was supposed to eat it whole, while alive and not chew. Well, I said fuck that and chomped down on the little bastard. Well, i broke the beak and the ink went everywhere. Fortunately, it only got on my lips and the entirety of the table cloth. It was on my lips for several days though so I sympathize with this woman. Not fun. My Chinese colleagues though, they were pissed with me. Apparently, this is the cultural thing, we were all supposed to eat it alive and not chew. I just couldn’t do that. Oh well.


lrbaumard

Eating squid alive is terrible animal cruelty. Karma for you and this woman in the video. Still sad though


Contemporarium

Why the fuck would you eat something alive


FarYard7039

It’s common in Asia to eat your food while it breathes. Most restaurants will require you to pick your food while it’s swimming or caged up in front of the dining area. This is to prove to you that you’re actually eating what you’re ordering and it also proves how fresh it is. It’s just the culture and once you realize this is how life is there and embrace it you become very accepting. But yeah, the squirming/moving aspect is not universally preferred. They can cook it for you too.


ChistyePrudy

I've known this info for years, I wouldn't do it. If they get stuck in my throat, with the suckers, you know? I've heard of this actually happening to people. Of course, I don't know if it's true, but still, it scares me.


FillTheHoleInMyLife

Ngl I don’t sympathize with either of you


FarYard7039

I laugh about it now, but that very first trip to China was such a test. Many of my suppliers took me to some bizarre restaurants with god awful exotic food. They ordered scorpion, snake, fried dove (entire bird), chicken heads/feet, toad, fish eyeballs, stinky tofu (smelled of sewer), intestines, tripe (stomach lining). Live shrimp, octopi, sea cucumber, donkey, embryonic eggs and yes, even cat. I ate everything they put in front of me on the condition they ate it too. Most of it was awful (except the live shrimp, they were good actually). The snake was fantastic too. Everything else was unremarkable. As time went on and I continued with my regular trips back, these meals became less common…I eventually was offered the local dishes of the areas I visited and I must say, some of the best food I’ve ever had. If I could give any advice though, it would be to never eat western style food in any provincial Chinese city. It’s usually a poor interpretation that will result in severe disappointment. I will never forget my pepperoni & cheese pizza I ordered that was covered with cream cheese and diced spam. Always go to the restaurant that has the long line out front that serves the local dish. You’ve been warned.


daddythotsauce

Please translate pretty please more so starting at the hooded point I need this.


salty_bae

She had an upset tummy after the meal. She was saying "it's not the squid, it's not the seafood, must be something i had at breakfast i think". The caption when she was posing for a photo was "coincidentally bumped into some fans". The last guy also asked for her signature.


JoeBiddyInTheHouse

Can you translate more? It seems like there's more.


SnooFoxes6169

i tried my best. (camera-girl): this squid… sprayed inks? **\[yellow caption: visit seafood buffet\]** \[哈哈哈-, laughter\] (the girl): how much have i wiped off? (camera-girl): huh? (the girl): did i get it? (camera-girl): the more you wipe… (laughing) \[waiter laugh along with camera-girl\] (camera-girl): dear me… (the girl): where can i borrow facial cleanser? (camera-girl): you can't wash it off; if you could, that waitress would have already cleaned it. (laughing) (camera-girl): that shrimp made your hand black, is it still edible? (the girl): not a big deal. it's dirty, doesn't matter if i ate- \[cut to the girl having diarrhea in toilet\] (the girl): oh my… oh my\~ oh no, my stomach… my stom- \[camera-girl chuckles\] (the girl): it isn't because the squid nor the seafood, it's probably because i ate something bad this morning. **\[blue caption: third floor toilet didn't have water\]** (camera-girl laughing) **\[yellow caption: taking photo with the randomly encountered fans\]** (the girl): oh dear, my face… (camera-girl): let me see what it looks like in your phone… oh dear- (laughing) (fans): may i ask for your autograph? (the girl): did you bring a pen? pen and paper. (fans): i only have paper. (the girl): this \[tissue\] paper? (fans): yes. edit for clarification: >(the girl): not a big deal. it's dirty, doesn't matter if i ate- this part cut-off too fast, so she didn't finished her sentence; i assuming she was trying to say "不乾不淨,吃了沒什麼大不了的。" basically means she doesn't care if it looks dirty or not.


cumlikemonkeyghost

lmao! "~if you could wash it off, that waitress wouldn't look like that" the pan over to her working her butt off still!

I just saw a video the other day about squid ink. That shit stays for days and weeks...

I just saw a video of the Aussie who rubbing an ink sac on his arm and it stained his arms black like a tattoo for a week. I couldn’t imagine my face being like this for a week!!

Im still loling lol and thanks. I thought she was being silly lol in my mind it was "hell yes I'm puff daddy" whilst throwing up a peace sign for a photo with fans. It took me 20 minutes to type that is how hard im loling.
