It struck me last week that I am indeed a bit stupid.
For the past year, under the guise of being environmentally friendly, I have refused plastic bags at convenience stores (combinis) with the phrase, "tebukuro irimasen". Which means, "I don't need a bag".
Except it doesn't. It means "I don't need gloves". Fukuro is the word for bag. No combini staff member ever corrected me, instead probably being confused as to why I was asking about gloves. But I knew the word for bag all along.
Which means only one thing:
I am indeed a bit stupid.
