    Haha, love the casual disregard of the No! Smoking sign. I guess the emphasis was not sufficient.

      I know eh? Perhaps one more sign would have done it!

    I’m not a fan of smokers but gotta admit this is pretty funny! šŸ™‚

      Yeah, his nonchalant disregard is really something.

    Film noir method actor?
    Let’s hope those doors don’t lead to a room of flamboyant Rococo cleaning product.

      Yeah, he does have the right look, doesn’t he?

      Or perhaps a room full of more, utterly ineffectual signs.

    What can you say about Japan? Just do what you want until someone stops you. Sign says no smoking, so just go ahead and completely ignore it. I live in Suginami and the ground is plastered with no smoking signs, but it doesn’t stop anyone from lighting up.

      It’s a weird one. In so many situations people tend to follow rules no matter how pointless they are, and then in other circumstances (like the one above) they completely and utterly ignore them…

    Seems like the “No graffiti” sign did work though. After all, there’s no graffiti on that one panel šŸ™‚
