I don`t doubt or question your experiences either - but believe that you were just really unlucky.
In the work environment, it really does have to be something to the level that makes a person "snap" in order to show emotions - because in general it`s not professional to show them otherwise while you`re working. But if it`s something so bad that you actually get angry - as work - then it shows the issue is SERIOUS. So it`s almost accepted in that way. Bringing up all the smaller issues is also something that is considered pretty normal. "I was willing to forgive all these smaller things, but now that I am angry enough to complain I will not!"
The events at the school sound really horrible, but I honestly don`t think they are a good representation of the rest of the Japanese population.
