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.

I had a similar experience on Reddit where one of the mansplainy dudebros went off on me for not knowing ___ and ___, splitting a bunch of semantic hairs, and then linked to a book in which I was one of the research scholars and contributors. Moron.

    It's no secret that many of us are used to our routines and usually spend our daily commutes with eyes focused on the ground. Thankfully, the 'Overheard On The Underground' Facebook page offers us a fresh look into the London tube system and showcases everything we might have missed out on. Over 16.4K people seem to enjoy the content they share, whether it’s pictures of hilarious messages on notice boards, questionable ads on billboards, or people proudly embracing their truly vivid colors. After all, the metro is certainly a tense environment. Think of all the pressure that accumulates the moment you enter the station: people running around, rushing to their platforms at lightning speed, and shouting at whoever gets in their way.

    My eldest came home from school yesterday and said they taught them how to say "no" because teens don't know how apparently... It wasn't really linked to consent so I don't really get what they were trying to do. They used the scenario of being asked to give up a seat on the bus. The teacher role played and each of them had a turn, they get to my kid and the teacher says "ok, here's a curly one... I'm 8.5 months pregnant and feeling poorly, may I have your seat please?" My kid says yep and gives it to them only to be told "YoU NeEd To LeArN hOw To SaY nO!" 🙃 Please ma'am stop trying to make my kid an AH!

    With so many people stuck in a small confined space, some folks are bound to stand out like a sore thumb, and we certainly love watching them. Apparently, The London Underground welcomes around 1.35 billion passengers every year, Statista reports. The busiest station on the network is King’s Cross St. Pancras, where over 90 million entries and exits were recorded annually over the past few years.

    The London Tube was established as the Metropolitan Railway which began operating in 1863, being the world’s first train service operating underground. It was built as a way to reduce street congestion, and while there was plenty of interest in this novel method of transport, it wasn’t the most comfortable way to get around. The original trains were driven by steam, so the heavy air and intense smell would engulf the tunnels, making it unhealthy for the passengers and the staff.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    A few decades later, electric trains followed, with The City and South London being the first. Because the tunnels were tubular, here’s where the term "tube" emerged and eventually became used as a nickname for The London Underground. In the 1930s, a public organization called London Transport took over. They would run the entire underground system and continue to do so every day. They began making huge expansions with new line stations that served and sometimes even created new suburbs. In 2021, London boasted the longest metro network in Europe with over 460 kilometers in length.

    The Discworld series is a continuous history of a world not totally unlike our own, except that it is a flat disc carried on the backs of four elephants astride a giant turtle floating through space, and that it is peopled by, among others, wizards, dwarves, policemen, thieves, beggars, vampires and witches. Within the history of Discworld there are many individual stories, which can be read in any order, but reading them in sequence can increase your enjoyment through the accumulation of all the fine detail that contributes to the teeming imaginative complexity of this brilliantly conceived world.

    There are few stronger words appropriate for a Tube sign in London. Just make sure you read it as "twAT," not twOT."

    However, the passengers themselves are less satisfied with the London metro than transport users elsewhere, naming safety, cleanliness, and passenger behavior as the main issues they face daily. Transport Focus and London TravelWatch surveyed commuters for three weeks in 2020 to learn more about their attitudes to the public transport system. They found that 70 percent of London Underground passengers were satisfied with the cleanliness of services compared to 76 percent of train passengers outside of London.

    Wonderful quote. I love it that the British Underground promotes a love of literacy and great writing. Last time I was on the subway in Baltimore I think I remember an ad for the Yellow Pages phone book. I had to explain to a younger friend what the Yellow Pages were; in fact I had to explain what the telephone book was.

    Moreover, just over half of Londoners were pleased with the behavior of other passengers, and 76 percent were content with the ease of finding the information on when the services were running. However, train passengers outside of the capital revealed greater satisfaction on nearly all of these points. "These results again show significant differences between London and the rest of the country." Arthur Leathley, London TravelWatch Chair, said.

    "It is good that people feel they can get travel information easily, but the results also highlight the need for TfL to make sure bus and Tube passengers feel safe and reassure them about the work they are doing to keep services clean," Leathley continued. "We will continue to work with TfL to highlight the improvements that passengers want to see. The survey work we are doing with Transport Focus has provided us with some useful data and as more people start traveling, it will become even more valuable."

    Well, if there’s one thing we’re sure of, commuters are a difficult crowd to please. Fortunately, they find themselves in entertaining situations around the clock, ensuring that the time spent underground flies by. Have you ever encountered something extremely weird yet hilariously amusing while catching a train? We’d love to hear it, so be sure to tell us all about it in the comments!

    Most likely Victoria or Liverpool Street Stations in London. When the platforms become to crowded ie dangerous they close the "gates" to stop more passengers crowding into the platform. The other reason could be it is a SouthWest and they have cancelled services for the 100th time in 3 months

    He is crawling under the barrier because they are locked probably because there is an incident on the underground. The gap is very small hence the comment.

    Note that it says to go out, not to go out out.

    I'd like to see someone try to launch my dog down the escalator. He's a big boy and will definitely try to bite if you attempt to pick him up

    Interesting. So you drive on the left, but walk on the right? I think we should make a deal, UK. You agree to drive on the right, and we (the US) will agree to switch to the metric system. This is a win-win!

    I did not like clowns even as a child, for the same reason I didn't like dolls. Uncanny Valley.

    Run. Run fast. You’ll get some exercise before the clown kills you. On second though, just go home to your cats

    “We all float down here….” *slowly descends* gets his balloon string stuck in the bottom machinery of the escalator, shatters your immersion as you have to watch him scream “SH*TE” for thirty seconds trying to pull it out, but by the time he looks up, you’re a,ready out the door….

    Thanks, Hannah - I was trying to work it out. I knew it was something along those lines.

    I thought at first this referred to Grenfell towed but the date seems wrong. I'm thinking Westminster bridge attack and tried googling but I'm still not sure. Any one know?

    People wearing their flag or flying the flag is normal in the US. In the UK people will eye you with suspicion..

    That awkward moment when you finally escape the flag factory and have to take public transportation home.
