13th January 2025 – (Hong Kong) A video circulating online has sparked outrage among netizens after it captured a woman seated unusually on the MTR train, seemingly encroaching on the space of nearby passengers. The footage, approximately three seconds long, shows a man sitting with a suitcase and backpack in front of him, while a woman, with her back against his, adopts a cross-legged position that resembles a meditative stance, placing her shoes on the adjacent seat.
The incident occurred during a train ride, where the woman’s posture not only occupied extra seating but also raised concerns that her shoes may have come into contact with another passenger. Despite the apparent discomfort caused to those nearby, no one in the video spoke out against her behaviour at the time.
The uploader of the video expressed frustration, questioning the lack of common courtesy in such public settings. They remarked, “Is it too much to ask for some public decency? Who sits like that on the subway?” This sentiment resonated with many online, with comments highlighting issues such as hygiene and social responsibility. Some users specifically noted that the woman’s shoe had likely brushed against another passenger’s clothing, prompting further criticism of her actions.
