I hate the Tobu Tojo Line

When you finish work for the day and are about to head home, until you find out that your train line has been suspended due to "accident causing injury or death" (人身事故)

Usually when they cite this, there's a pretty good chance it's a suicide. Most stations try to minimize this through the means of electronic gates that open and close only when the train doors themselves open and close so people won't fall (or jump) on to the tracks. The problem is not all stations have this set up, including the Tobu Tojo line. And since I have to go to and from Ikebukuro every week, the suspension of the train line makes commuting home an even bigger pain in the ass. 

Fortunately, I was able to take another train line to get back, which took me to Omiya, where I changed lines and took the Kawagoe line to Kawagoe station, and ended up taking a taxi home, as Tobu Tojo was still suspended more than an hour later. 

Japan is known for its trains always running on time, but that isn't always the case. Train delays happen more often than you think, especially during rush hour
