How would you describe Japanese people?

Some Japanese people know that Japanese women, regardless of their age, take a longer time in the toilet compared to those in other countries. It's not because of winter, but it's all season. One of my friends who used to work in China decided to get married to a woman because she doesn't take such a long time in the bathroom. He also knows about the washroom problems of Japanese women.

1. Rewrite to make the meaning clearer.
That's an interesting observation! Do you think there's a specific reason why Japanese women might spend longer in the bathroom?

After checking online, I found that many Japanese people were annoyed with long-occupied toilets. I couldn't come up with the reasons because I have a slight claustrophobia and can't be shut up in the bathroom. It is said that the primary reasons for barricading the washroom are using a mobile phone, playing games, and taking a rest. The minor reasons are eating food, applying makeup, and changing clothes.

The minor reasons are eating food, applying makeup, and changing clothes.

1. The phrase is more precise.
2. Rewrite the sentence for clearer meaning.
3. Use ''they'' to refer to women.
4. Use ''will be'' to indicate what that will be doing.
It seems like there could be various reasons behind this phenomenon, from cultural norms to personal preferences. Have you noticed similar trends in other aspects of Japanese daily life, or is this unique to restroom behavior?

Nothing can't be seen as similar to the restroom behavior. Instead, Japanese people tend always to hurry unnecessarily. They often rush onto the train. I used to be forced to be rushed for nothing when I worked for a Japanese company. Besides, they require me to have a hypersonic speed of procedure, which is impossible with human power. I could take it easy at my job with higher pay in an American company.

There is nothing similar to restroom behavior as Japanese people are always in a hurry unnecessarily. They often rush to get the train. I used to    be rushed for nothing when I worked for a Japanese company. Besides, it requires me to have a hypersonic speed of procedure, which is impossible with human power. I could do it easily if I get a salary increase. 

1. Rewrite to make the meaning clearer.
2. Use ''to get'' to refer to where someone rushes.
3. ''be forced to'' is not necessary.
4. Use a singular pronoun for a company.
5. Use a singular verb as the subject is singular.
6. Rewrite for clarity, the reference to an American company is not clear.
