It seems fitting that this guide on how to *not* get accused of being a subway groper comes from Japan. But really, why do it illegally when you could just to to the Train Cafe and partake in a little simulated, consensual grope for US $42 on your Ikebukuro lunch break? Still, a snip from the tips:
“- If you’re standing, grasp the strap with both hands, so they are visible to everyone in your proximity.
– Turn your back towards women standing close by.
– If you happen to bump against a woman, say ‘Pardon me’ in a voice loud enough to be heard by other passengers and change your position.
– Under no circumstances should you stand beside girls of middle school age.” Link.
