I imagine you may not be the only one.
Ok so now I will attempt to explain this video.
Professor Himonya has a series of these videos posted on the net (most dubbed over with someone's music however) and I still don't know whether they are being serious or not.
Mostly they deal with illustrating the BIG NO-NO's of Japanese office/business etiquette or so it seems.
In this one, he asks his assistant to take a business card and to
pretend it is
her business card, and that they are meeting for the first time.
(you can hear her say 'Hajimimashite',which literally means 'I am meeting you for the first time')
She presents the card to him and introduces herself.
Then he pretends to start reading 'her' card and crushes it.
Ok so THIS is the confusing part and what I need to explain:
In Japan, it seems that business etiquette is taken in
extremely high regard and its protocols are as
commandments.
To do what Prof. H. does in this video would not only be a confidence-crushing affair for the young lady, but would also be a
terrible insult to her company.
Unforgivable! UNFORGIVABLE!
I hope my English is good enough to explain it.
Sometimes I can't understand my own posts.
