This turns out to be similar to the Japanese view. Following a fender bender, according to a Times article, the Japanese typically get out of their cars and bow, each claiming responsibility. In contrast, Americans are instructed by their insurance companies to avoid admitting fault. When an American living in Japan did just that—even though he knew he was to blame—the Japanese driver “was so incensed by the American’s failure to show contrition that he took the highly unusual step of suing him”.

　　The Japanese driver and I are not the only ones who are offended when someone obviously at fault doesn’t just fess up and apologize. A woman who lives in the country told me of a similar reaction. One day she gave her husband something to mail when he went into town. She stressed that it was essential the letter be mailed that day, and he assured her it would. But the next day, when they left the house together, she found her unmailed letter in the car. He said, “Oh, I forgot to mail your letter. ” She was furious — not because he had forgotten, but because he didn’t apologize.
