The Accidental Apology Bow Legend

I stumbled across this Reddit thread where a guy accidentally became a local legend in Japan because

he kept bowing wrong. Turns out he was doing the apology bow at a ramen shop every single day

for six months. The owner thought he was deeply sorry about something tragic.

Plot twist: the whole neighborhood started leaving him gift baskets thinking he lost

someone. When he finally learned proper casual bows, everyone was confused

why he suddenly seemed happy. The lesson hit me hard though. Sometimes our biggest

social mistakes create the most genuine human connections. That guy now runs that ramen shop

because the owner retired and insisted he take over. Wild how being completely wrong about something
