Tube etiquette in London

We’ve all used London transport enough times to know there’s an unspoken etiquette—and it’s not exactly the nicest. People keep to themselves, wearing their earphones and reading their newspapers. Eye contact is rare. Take the tube too long and you start to wonder if people ever smile at each other at all.
But every once in a while, something bizarre happens, and whether they mean to or not, people react. If you can still sit quietly with your eyes glued to the newspaper page, hopefully you at least smiled to yourself.

Cute video! Really enjoyed it.
Though if you think London’s bad… wait till you seen the underground in Tokyo where half the commuters are asleep!
