This British Facebook Page Is Sharing 40 Pictures That Prove ‘Random’ Is A Daily Thing On ‘The Tube’
We have to admit, there’s just something about the tube that makes us consistently fascinated with the odd and wacky things happening down there. Think about it, the moment we step foot on the platform to catch a train, we immediately notice how laws of order stop working. Millions of people use the underground system to get from point A to point B every day, so naturally, life over there is anything but boring.
Thanks to the Facebook page called 'Overheard On The Underground,' we can witness these shenanigans firsthand. "Enjoy sitting on the tube instead of paying for a Sauna?" the creator asked. "If you use the tube on a daily basis, 'random' is probably a daily occurrence. From the woman with a suitcase of false teeth to a monkey in a wheelchair." Just as they stated in the description, the page shares the most amusing and hilariously bizarre pictures of things people spotted below the surface.
We at Bored Panda have gathered some of their best posts that represent the weirder side of humanity and give us a glimpse into the underground world. And as it turns out, it’s stranger than fiction. Scroll down and upvote the ones that made you burst out in laughter! And if you believe you can handle even more content about commuters and their antics, take a look at our earlier posts right here and here.

Sir Terry Pratchett was taken from us far too soon! He is one of the greatest authors and observers of human nature ever.

most of these are amusing, but i don't like the pictures taken of random people without their permission. it just feels weird, they don't even know they're on here

Yes, thank you, I agree! I would hate to see myself on internet without knowing I've been photographed, and my face not even being blurred.

I know it doesn't really matter but the title explicitly says "things people spotted on the subway" and then they are all from the London underground, or tube. But we never call it the subway!!

Who took the pictures of the signs, are they all right? When I first visited London my friend warned me to: never stop to look at signs in the underground, never move slower than the mob, only stop moving if you’re on (the correct side of) the escalator, and have your ticket ready well in advance of the turnstiles, or be lynched.

It depends when you travel. If you're not in the peak travel time, you shouldn't need to worry.
