Today we were at an intersection and a building at the intersection was being repaired/painted (something!) and they had an old ojii-san (old man) with his red baton to direct traffic – never mind that both lanes were unobstructed, I guess you have to keep low unemployment figures somehow.
Anyway this ojii-san was quite “dirty” both in the way he looked and acted. Along the other side of the road come this junior high school girl (about 14 years old) walking back home. As she was walking past this ojii-san he must’ve said or done something which she heard and I could see the “determination” in her face – “ugghh what a (adjective) ojii-san” and her right arm was bent and she was making a fist with her hand. Just concentrating on ignoring this old sod – hoping he’d just go away.
You really had to have seen it to grasp the humour, but I thought it was amusing never-the-less.
