Word of the Day: Arigata-meiwaku

ありがためいわく   : Arigata-meiwaku (Japanese):    An act someone does for you that you didn’t want to have them do and tried to avoid having them do, but they went ahead anyway, determined to do you a favor, and then things went wrong and caused you a lot of trouble, yet in the end social conventions required you to express gratitude.
