Social Faux Pas? -

What are some basic things, mannerisms in Japan that should be known?
What things should you do, not do, and be aware of?  I'll bloom as the poison flower and become the flower that blooms again.

I know I'm probably breaking a rule by doing this, but since it so well applies, in the link i have in my signature there is a customs catagory. I live there and have broken plenty of the rules, so I'm writing about them now. It's still a work in progress but there's definitely some content up. Check it out if you like. (Sorry for the self-advertisement, but it applies. If it's a problem let me know and I'll delete it.)

Not sure if this is a faux pas, but I have noticed that I get stink-eyed when I eat outside (hell, I bought mitarashi dango from 7-11 and I had nowhere to eat it). Does anyone know if this is rude?

For the older generation, eating is a more sacred act than it is for younger people, simply because many of them lived in a time when every grain of rice was a true gift. Therefore eating and walking is considered rude by older people.
