Tee M4CK until you live in London or have been for years you’d get pretty annoyed with people like him down to just being annoying. London drains you and it makes you become miserable.
I've been seeing this young attractive lady with long fake eyelashes get on my bus in the mornings for about the past year now. The other morning she got on and I decided at last to pluck up the courage, smile at her and say "Hi, you alright?" as she sat down directly opposite me. She responded with "fuck off you ugly weirdo!" I responded back with "those fake eyelashes of yours make you look like a fucking giraffe. Maybe the bus driver could use you to clean these dirty windows with them fuckers!" She then started crying and shot off upstairs. The other passengers gave me filthy looks like it was all my fault. Maybe she didn't need to call me an ugly weirdo just because she didn't like my looks and for the fact I don't look like a bad boy with big buldging muscles. Maybe she didn't need to call me an ugly weirdo just because I clearly don't drive and get the bus to work every day. Maybe she didn't need to call me an ugly weirdo just coz I wasn't wearing a shirt and tie and therefore don't work in an office and earn a shit load of money. Maybe she didn't need to call me an ugly weirdo just coz I took the effort to take an interest in her and say hi! Us men have feelings too ya know so maybe women on public transport need to stop being so fucking judgemental of us men when we are just clearly being friendly. Just a thought!....
This is why i'm not a fan of huge cities, people are alive yet so dead. We were never meant to live in huge metal structures with millions shoved in few square miles with no sense of community.
I couldn't agree more. There is something very unnatural being crammed in to an over densely populated urban jungle living in cardboard boxes that can cost on average half a million pounds.
SuperHarhoura as underdeveloped 3rd world places are, the towns folk at least are more known to each other. I am from east Africa , where it is actually rude not to greet people. Compare that to here
paddy1g The Tube is generally a low-conscious, low-energy environment. There is also the fact that most human beings usually don't have sufficient confidence to express themselves fully when surrounded by other strangers. In this sense, it's probably a great place to acquire a thickness of skin for those who fear rejection and feel internally constrained.
paddy1g On the Tube, you are unworthy of attention by virtue of being a stranger. Which is why it's the best place to use as a social experiment to see how far you can push the boundaries.
I'm glad I live in North Yorkshire, people always talk to you and are friendly towards you. It seems so hostile down in London, everyone is like robots going from A to B, sad really.
I know, but journeys on the tube are usually short and people come and go. If you try to engage in small talk throughout the journey then you simply can’t use the tube. It’s almost impossible. I do agree though it is strange
Trust me as Londoner my whole life this is depressingly familiar. Smile, or appear overly friendly and you'll be responded with strange looks and stoic expressionless faces. London is one of the most overrated cities in the world. It is a great city to visit due to it's commercial and cultural heritage but living in it is not as appealing as you might imagine.
When I lived in the city I still said hi to people and yeah I got more of that response but now I live in the suburbs and almost everybody says hi back! I live in America btw
As a fellow Londoner born and raised, I gotta agree really strongly. Its really unfriendly and hard to find a sense of community outside certain communities. Not really a good place to bring up a family at all.
Amen Brother. No London is the worst city to live in period, even if I was a millionaire, I wouldn't go there. I will be in Los Angeles, big sexy house, sexy weather, beautiful, non stuck women and people that can actually talk.
And then people have the nerve to complain about how shitty and heartless the world is. I mean have they ever contemplated that they are actually a part of the problem? Sad very sad.
@@rafaelsodre_eachday At least acknowledge them though. To a normal person who doesn't live in London it seems strange to just blank someone completely after they say "Hi".
canada is same, atleast toronto. I remember being on this bus and this guy sitting next to me starts talking to me, it was really weird cuz people don't talk to eachother and we ended up having a good conversation, turns out he was an american from north carolina. Really cool dude.
It's always like that in big cities. You can't possibly get to know everyone so people just don't bother trying. If you go to a small town or village you'll often find that the opposite is true. Since there are so few people, people know nearly everyone else and they will often say hello to you even if they don't know you.
No it isn't. It's just weird to behave like this in largely populated cities. People need a bit of context as to why you're talking to them. Personally people who walk right up to your face and say "HI HOW ARE YOU" are either crazy or trying to sell something. People need context to spur a conversation, especially in a city of millions crammed together.
The thing about Americans is SO true. I grew up in London and moved to America when I was 14. My first day in the USA I was in an elevator with my sister and these people started to talking to us, asking alot of questions, and we were really weirded out by it. People are ALOT more social/ friendly in America, but this isn't necessarily a good thing since I don't really like talking to strangers lol. But I guess in a larger sense, it's a positive thing
@@theduke6174 nope nope thats not minding your business thats being unsocial dont call that minding your business if someone says hi say hi back if someone wants to shake your hand let them if you dont do that its rude.
The UK is depressing to live in, people aren’t exactly happy on the tube and they just want to be left alone, they also don’t know who the stranger is.
The UK is fantastic to live in, especially from an immigrants perspective. However most people aren't interested in interacting with other people while on their way. It just comes with being such a globally significant place with so many people living close together
British people are introvert with strangers although they always pretend to be extrovert , it is hard to find someone to speak with in a street or cafe or any public place , and they always are hurry and fast I think because they want to pay taxes
this is my hometown, and yeah the tube is depressing and people dont chat and a lot of people are judt being rude... but its also quite wooden and weird the hello's that they give out. we should be friendlier though i agree.
I'm from London and watching this video I know I'd think it's a weird thing for someone random to say Hi to me on the tube...but why? But I think the scenarios given in this ideo are slightly exceptional because nobody just casually saying Hi to somebody else on public transport wouldn't do it this awkwardly, (I.e sitting next to them for presumabely a few minutes and then just saying "Hi". It's almost like watcing a public pranks video.
I am just theorizing but, a lot of times, in NYC subway at least, when random strangers start conversations like that, they are usually going to tell you a sob story and then ask for money, maybe these people just think he is a beggar and doesn't want to engage him. It was nice to get out of the big city and move down south, much friendlier people here and a slower pace of life.
From this video i noticed the best way to engage a conversation is to start with asking and then keep the conversation alive by being chatty and charming instead saying hi only.
Christian Mutombo You can’t ask for directions bcoz most of ppl on the tube not in rush hours are Tourists!!!! So how could they tell you any directions?
this raises the good point that saying hi without anything besides that will get mostly no response. People mostly have to be perceived as having some ulterior reason for grabbing your attention
Why does everyone in the comments say that people in London are rude or unfriendly? I've been living in London for two years and I actually find people to be quite nice with strangers, even the weird ones. Most of these situations were actually weird and cringy to watch, but if you repeat this experiment in any big city of any country in the world you obtain the same result. The truth is when you live in a big city you meet so many crazy people that when someone approach you in a slighty different way you can't help being suspiscious, but it has nothing to do with being rude or anything. A normal person would understand this and will not approach you staring like a creep and then suddently "HI HOW ARE YOU" cause it's confusing.
I don't think London is unfriendly at all. I have met some very friendly people who have went out their way to get directions/advice ect. Maybe its just the weather, which makes people miserable?
Ari 2416 There's the underwear day in London underground too... but being always smiley and ready to joke is not necessarely a synonim of friendly, in my opinion, and being more quiet and introvert is not always unfriendly, sometimes It's just different culture, and a different way to approach people... "who's tired of London is tired of life" ;)
People can say whatever that "this always happens in the Cities" but if you look at the sister city of London which is Paris, everyone when entering trains says "Bonjour" otherwise its considered rude. I live in London and I tell it is fucking depressing sometimes
It's probably just because people think he's crazy with how intrusive his "hellos" are. Would you not be freaked out if a complete stranger in a straight voice just lent toward you and said "Hello how are you doing" out of no where? Besides who actually likes being on the tube, it's usually packed and you just wanna get off.
This video was funny. You both are very brave. I was praying that a crazy person doesn’t turn on you. If I were there I would say hi back. It’s polite and sweet.
Looks like a Miserable and depressing Atmosphere on London's Tube transportation. Am pleased I don't use the Underground. Am from up North where People are full of joy & Conversation. Love your Videos Twattery.
People in the comments like “omg so sad” it’s really not, if everyone said hello to everyone else it would be madness, so nobody does, so people are surprised when it happens. If he had actually asked someone for help or directions I think they would help.
Honestly, I wouldn't want to talk to any of these guys either. The other passengers aren't being cold or antisocial, they think they're being approached by some weirdo.
In fairness it's not just a London thing. It's more a commuter thing. The people of the South Wales valleys are friendly but catch a packed morning train to Cardiff from there and people don't talk to each other.
Not gonna lie, I'd be the guy who replied "alright?" then pretend to look at the map to see if his stop was next just to make this almost social interaction stop
@@MRarjunpatel100 Still kinda true though. I'd rather face an aloof public than a bomb. Not saying all of the middle east is being bombed but you get my point.
I live in Brazil, and you can imagine that here we are overfriendly and would smile and say Hi to everyone, but not in the South of Brazil (where I live). We are known as the coldest people of the country, and yes it's very normal to ignore strange people here. It's sad to admit but I do it as well, and my boyfriend from the North always tell me that I am a very mannerless person for doing this. We are a miserable bunch nowadays.
People who aren't from places like the UK wouldn't understand. We're taught from an early age to not talk to strangers, we carry this on into adulthood. We feel genuinely uncomfortable when people try to do this. It's British custom to be quiet, especially on the tube If you need help with something, we will help you, but we don't like small talk with strangers.
This video is great, its strange how the underground makes people so anti social. I was once on the underground and a women was sat crying for a few minutes, no one seemed to notice or care. I was only person on the train to acknowledge her and sit next to her and at least ask if she was okay, she said it was nothing to worry about but still some simple compassion goes along way she thanked me for my concern and I felt like i'd done something amazing. Simple things like this people won't forget for a long time I know I won't, you've just got to step out of this social taboo of silence and if you feel like saying something just do it you'll probably never see these people again. Better living a life following your instincts than living a life with regrets of having held you tongue.
I'm not sure it's the mode of transport that makes people antisocial. I reckon if you tried this experiment on the tube in a small city in Italy or Spain or even France or Holland, people would be friendlier.
do you know how easily exhausted you can get by riding the tube all day & having to take 100 stairs up & down several times ? people don't got the nerves for chitchat ... totally understandable
When I returned to London in 1995 after a 7 year absence I couldn't believe how weird the atmosphere was on the tube (which I used to love travelling in). When I offered a young lady my seat she backed away from me in horror!
Haha it was probably the way you weren't saying anything, then turned round said 'hi' , then just stared for a bit like a crazy person . It didn't come off too naturally :D
pisses me off how ignorant and rude SOME people are!.. btw massive balls to do this aswell!

Polymath when someone says hello to me i say hello back or shake his hand when he offers and dont act like a fucking robot. or is that just me
paddy1g Londoners seek to avoid human contact due to lack of trust and in order to maintain their comfort zone, which turns them into robots.
Why do people make something as nice as saying hi seem so awkward? They should at least say hi back seeing how it takes literally no effort.
that was hard to watch

I died inside watching this
My favorite part is when he said hi
I like this very much, you need to do part 2 & 3 & comparision between this period & the period on Friday or Saturday night...
Also bring a female with you to do the same thing, because I feel they will talk to her with ease and less ruthless!
it just seems flirtatious, i have no idea why
So simple, awkward and hilarious lol
Gosh Damn. Some people on the tube be hella up tight lol good one
what is wrong with people nowadays?
If someone walked past me saying hi or hello like they're reading from a drilling manual, I'd probably be confused too
that was a really cool social experiment!! keep it up
This is awesome! I’m going to show this to random people next to me next time I’m taking the tube
This feels so bad, because in my country is fundamental to say hi and be nice with people even you don't know them
People who aren't from places like the UK wouldn't understand. We're taught from an early age to not talk to strangers, we carry this on into adulthood. We feel genuinely uncomfortable when people try to do this. It's British custom to be quiet, especially on the tube
If you need help with something, we will help you, but we don't like small talk with strangers.
This guys just being respectful and people think he’s nuts!! Such a shame!!
I always heard London was like this, but God damn this brutal
Plus, we have tons of beggars appearing out of nowhere in the tube, so as soon as hear "hey" we straight assume it's a beggar
This video is great, its strange how the underground makes people so anti social. I was once on the underground and a women was sat crying for a few minutes, no one seemed to notice or care. I was only person on the train to acknowledge her and sit next to her and at least ask if she was okay, she said it was nothing to worry about but still some simple compassion goes along way she thanked me for my concern and I felt like i'd done something amazing. Simple things like this people won't forget for a long time I know I won't, you've just got to step out of this social taboo of silence and if you feel like saying something just do it you'll probably never see these people again. Better living a life following your instincts than living a life with regrets of having held you tongue.
I'm not sure it's the mode of transport that makes people antisocial. I reckon if you tried this experiment on the tube in a small city in Italy or Spain or even France or Holland, people would be friendlier.
do you know how easily exhausted you can get by riding the tube all day & having to take 100 stairs up & down several times ? people don't got the nerves for chitchat ... totally understandable
When I returned to London in 1995 after a 7 year absence I couldn't believe how weird the atmosphere was on the tube (which I used to love travelling in). When I offered a young lady my seat she backed away from me in horror!
1:15 they were expecting some show probably lol
They seem friendly enough its just theres this social norm of not talking to anyone
I wouldn't say hi to a stranger either especially when there is a camera recording me.
SurgeX798 you wouldn't see the camera, fuck face.
So, you know the camera is on and you are filmed and you choose to act like a douchebag, which will be forever on the web? Great idea!
Lmfao when you greeted everyone when they came on one by one, better service than ryan air
Lol this makes me feel ashamed to live in the UK.
Damn, this is sad. Here in Massachusetts people are so friendly! I couldn't live in London tbh
Haha it was probably the way you weren't saying anything, then turned round said 'hi' , then just stared for a bit like a crazy person .
It didn't come off too naturally :D
"Hi everyone" was it.
