I am not really a very strict person but I guess some of the Japanese cultures have rubbed off on me after working there for several years.
The practice which stood out the most to me was their respect for each other when riding in public transportation vehicles such as buses and trains.
The respect that I am talking about is being as silent as possible to avoid disturbing other passengers by talking in hushed voices and using earphones when listening or watching something.
Nowadays, it became my pet peeve when my fellow filipinos are talking loudly or having their phones on loud speak mode when inside the buses, trains or even just inside the company premises.
It's so annoying to be honest. You get to hear whatever they are saying and can't concentrate on what you are watching or listening because of their loud voice.
I hope that more people would realize that it is important to behave accordingly when in public so as not to disturb others or brought shame to the country where we come from considering we are now working abroad.
Let me add the smoking in non-designated smoking areas. That's being too inconsiderate and could result to serious health condition to non smokers :(
How about you guys, what behavior in public do you find the most annoying?
Please feel free to comment so we could discuss about it.
