If aliens ever visited Earth and you wanted to show them just how unique, diverse, and bizarre humankind can get, you should take them for a ride on the subway. There’s something special about public transport that brings out the strangeness in some folks.

The Paris metro is no exception! The ‘Les Gens Dans Le Métro’ ('People in the Metro’) Instagram account documents the strangest sights that Parisians have seen on the subway. We’ve collected some of the funniest and oddest photos to share with you. Scroll down to check them out.

Bored Panda got in touch with the founder of the project, Gaëtan Lagarde, and he was kind enough to answer our questions. You'll find our interview with him as you read on.

    Where else could you show off your splits if not the metro?

    I love it when people do their style. I may not like it but I fully respect it, since I got judged way too often during school and started to feel uncomfortable in my own skin. Now I think too often about what others might think and it ruins the joy of wearing beautiful things for me. So I admire everyone with the guts to push through and enjoy their style.
