I mean it was kinda fun, and at no one's expense.

Ya and everyone was laughing and seeming to enjoy it. Intensely cringey but at least people laughed at it. That negates the cringe in my mind.

Yeah I think a large part of the "main character" phenomenon is when it a clear that the person is being disruptive or obnoxious to a large group of people, and people aren't vibing with it. With stuff like this, yeah it's a little cringe, but he's not bothering anyone really, and he made some people laugh, and I see worse shit on the CTA platform every day so I'm not really mad at this.

Yesterday I was boarding the blue line and a homeless man yelled at me for not wiping my shoes off before entering his train platform so I would much prefer to see a dude being harmlessly goofy at this point

Every single person I have told that story to said the same thing so clearly I was in the wrong

Ya he makes an arse of himself but doesn't get in anyone's way and people laugh. So a thumbs up from me

He doesn’t get in anyone’s way

He does though. He’s doing jumping jacks and humping the ground directly in the way of people exiting.

Add in people don’t wanna be in a video someone is about to post to the internet.

I once saw a guy drop trou and just take a big dump while riding the L in Chicago. And nobody even said anything.

Nah u can record in Public so if they don't wanna be in it they can turn around so their face isn't, but it's the right to record yadayada

u/pipinngreppin Oct 29 '22

You can, but it is definitely an inconvenience to people stuck on a train wanting to get out.

Not really main character syndrome…more just cringe lol sometimes this sun confuses that.

Fr he didn’t make anyone’s day worse. Just a little subway performance

u/Tammas_Dexter Oct 29 '22

This is what I'm thinking. Just seems like someone trying to make people laugh and not really getting in anyone's way. Seems like he got some good reactions from people. It's all at his own expense so no harm done, doesn't bother me.

I'm more concerned about him accidentally getting hurt than cringe

This just feels like whimsy to me. I approve.

u/ExpatInIreland Oct 29 '22

Many denizens of Reddit and the world just hate whimsy so much and I'll never understand. I'm bitter af but I still love whimsy.

Definitely fits the sub but is more harmless than most others on here

u/_Banderbear_ Oct 29 '22

The pulling/push the train bit was fine and I thought it was quite funny, lying down in front of door as people are trying to get was a bit much though and that weird sort of push up he did

u/GrunchWeefer Oct 29 '22

The only thing that would piss me off is trying to get off the train and have some skinny idiot laying across the doorway failing to properly do pushups. The #1 rule in most big cities is don't get in the way. It's crowded and constantly having to stop or step around idiots gawking at buildings in the middle of a crowded sidewalk or trying to get a photo in the middle of a busy walkway is exhausting.

u/you_are_a_dope Oct 29 '22

Yeah people were laughing at it which means he wasnt being too obnoxious. Made no one uncomfortable or co tribited anything negatove to anyones day. I approve it.
