8:15 Man

A 38 year old known as the "8:15 Man" was arrested in Yamaoka earlier this week for charging his shoulder into other pedestrians - specifically business men. The reason why "8:15" was because he would do this at just past 8 in the morning.

The 8:15 man later said that he felt stressed when he faced other people and that he chose business men to go after...

I've personally encountered this a few times in Tokyo - some bloke would walk past and purposely hit their shoulder into me - they would then continue to do it to others as they walked on.
I walk away as I don't have the time to waste on people like this.

Has this happened to you in the past? What would you do if somebody shoulder charges you?
