What Japanese folk doesn't really understand is.....
well, many things
but one of them is
First, they firmly believe they are the most polite & humble people in the world
(though this notion itself is nothing but pure arrogance, which is totally opposite to politeness & humbleness)
Second, they think "Japanese politeness" is the only politeness that exists
(though an idea of politeness depends on the culture & it varies a lot)
Third, "holding the door open for others" doesn't exist in their politeness concept
(So that, whenever I keep the door open, they always deeply appreciate my gentleman-like behaviour so much🤪)
