Is this weird behaviour on the underground?

[Fortheloveofbutter]

I promise I’ve not lead a sheltered life . I don’t live in London but have been there numerous times and always use the underground.

Today a girl stood next to me and started swinging around the pole (like a pole dancer) and then stopped and started doing squats and lunges whilst holding the pole.

I’ve used to get public transport every day when I lived in LA so I have seen some sights. But that’s odd right?

Nothing in London is odd. Maybe she just wanted to pack in a couple of squats? Or, y'know, she's high.

Some people desperately crave attention.

really? You need to ask if this is odd?

The important question is did she make eye contact with anyone while doing it?

Well yes it might be an every day occurance in London.

Usually when I’m on there people are either reading/listening to music or too packed in to even move.

The important question is did she make eye contact with anyone while doing it?

I’m not sure, I just tried to make sure that I didn’t make eye contact with her.

Well obviously that's not normal behaviour is it

Did she have pink hair? I know somebody who sees every pole as an opportunity to pull some moves. It doesn't mean she's pulling fellas, she just likes pole-work.

Bloody weirdo

It's London. Anything goes.

Well obviously that's not normal behaviour is it

Woah ok snappy snappy.

Did she have pink hair?

No just normal darkish blonde

The last time I saw someone squatting around a pole on the underground, they were pickpotting some lady, although I didn’t realise at the time.

Some guy in a suit walked over and said “excuse me that man is trying to steal your purse” the culprit then jumped off the train and legged it!

What part of london?

*pick pocketing

Anything is normal in London. Thank God!

Oh yes, that is very odd. But as others have said it’s sort of par for the course in London.

(Isn’t avoiding eye contact handy at times like that!?)

I think if you don't put light-hearted in your post then it come across as being purposefully disingenuous. Clearly swinging round a pole and lunging is not normal behaviour but I've seen a lot worse in london.

Why are people doing this?
I think the story is excellent!

Just want to start a for the two most obnoxious posters on the thread so far:

Ladies and gentlemen, IHeartMaryLennox and proundpearlclutcher.

congratulations!

👍🏻

Well I refuse to put lighthearted in a title. People don’t need to be babied on here.

It was on the Victoria Line. If relevant - somewhere between Warren Street and Green Park.

Well, it’s different, for sure. Normal/unusual/odd/weird....not my place to label it!

Eh? How was I obnoxious? You sound a treat too btw
