Japanese murder ghosts are the most polite murder ghosts. They'll kill you, but they won't waste your time.

And the ghost absolutely won't leave the scene of the murder until their boss leaves first, and the boss won't leave for a long time, even if there's absolutely nothing left to do and everyone knows there's no actual point to staying around.

In other cultures, the victims of children's stories fall prey to misfortune as punishments for laziness, impertinence, greed, etc.

Japan's children's stories suggest that forgetting a gozaimasu will get your rear end disemboweled.

To those who haven't, hit up the Wikipedia article for Japanese ghosts. You'll recognize a lot of stuff from video games.

I think there is one that exists just to trip people getting out of bed.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aka_Manto

quote:

If a person is sitting on the toilet (usually the last stall), a mysterious voice will ask them if they want red paper or blue paper. If they answer red paper, they will be sliced apart until their clothes are stained red. If they choose blue paper, they will be strangled until their face turns blue. Any attempt to outsmart Aka Manto by asking for a different color will result in them being dragged to the underworld. Ignoring him or replying that you do not need any paper will make him go away. ... Another version of the story says that if they ask for yellow cloak, they will have their head forced into the toilet they've just used but they will survive being drowned.

Stay safe, vengeful Japanese piss-bully ghost.

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.
