Bemmu, is your wife Japanese? I'm willing to bet that if you did an A/B test, with A=Bemmu and B=Bemmu's wife, you'd get more yes answers with B.

(I'm aware that this might sound cynical to some, but it's pretty much common sense if you have lived in Japan for some time.)



Yes, but I was trying not to jump to that conclusion as I have no particular reason to think that. It probably has more to do with the office she happened to visit, it was the same one that gave me a nonchalant "yeah, whatever" -answer before.


Ah, you hadn't said it was the same post office...

In any case, I'm not saying being Japanese is the only factor. But it's very likely a factor.
