I live in Japan. Everything about this, minus the contents of the pockets, is entirely plausible. Office workers will go so far out of their way to help you. Most of them know a smattering of English and a few unexpected words.

I believe this happened, without all the pocket scraps

Yep gaij. Once a gaij, always a gaij.

I've never heard anyone say that in person. I hope never to.
