Japanese policeman stabs self to avoid work
 

Props to thread and a wtf?

And we fake a cough on the telephone...

stating the obvious here, but it's sad seeing a society that puts so much pressure and stress on workers that they'd rather stab themselves than telling their boss that they're stressed/overworked etc.

I'm starting to feel a little Japanese right now...

oh, for fuck's sake. suck it up and use a MAN'S knife you pansy!

this reminds me about Jenn telling me that "Parallel Woman" by Shonen Knife is about office suicide, and rather explict too, not just implied

suprising from a band that sings about choco bars and ice cream
