If Google image search is anything to go by, basically heavy corporal punishment for a school club's basketball players that resulted in a suicide.

I'm an international student in a Western country and that ingrained habit has caused me embarrassing moments as well. One shopkeeper actually did that Thai hand praying gesture thing after I slightly bow-greeted her because asians rook same.

I wish we bowed instead of shaking hands. I hate shaking hands. It's like a phobia of mine. Maybe because I have OCD and other people's hands are so dirty.

I'm always extremely hesitant to shake hands, people must assume I'm some kind of arrogant dick or something.

None of the above are bows.

THIS is a real bow.

I actually did this for when I took Kendo in Japan, and one time I even did it for my boss at one of the jobs I had in Japan because I really fucked up.

>>10353281
Not generally, no. You only do a 90º bow if you've really fucked up and you're apologizing to someone who is of higher rank than you. Mostly it's just a nod, or a slight bow. Like many things, it depends on the context what sort of bow is appropriate.
