Either there’s a very naive journalist who’s pulled an article from another source, or one who’s trying to get fired. This is an excerpt
“Essentially, barebackers – also known as rawdoggers – are people who sit without any form of entertainment and people-watch, staring at other passengers to pass the time.”
Metro trying to outclass the daily mail and the sun
I prefer this to the people who left their headphones in 2023
Its surely “backpackers” right? 🤔💭🤔

Get 1/3rd off with the new BAREBACKERS rail card!
Man I’m in the wrong tube cars
North side of the river problems
*Says while sat on a South London train looking out of the window*
How dare people not look at their phones! Inform the authorities!
The tube is a sea of unwashed hoohaas and yipyays.
And yes Sally we can see the vein, you should have worn the other top.
errr…
She forgot **Brokebackers** overdrawn people, often unemployed who enjoy watching others on the rail network as they have no subscriptions to watch on their phones 😉
Genuinely thought this was about practicing safe sex…
Oh no, I’m such a terrible person and such a blight on public transport by not rotting my brain watching hundreds of 15 second videos with gameplay footage at the bottom because I have no attention span left.
I don’t need to have a FaceTime conversation with somebody I just saw, I don’t need to play terrible music through crappy phone speakers and I don’t need someone looking over my shoulder reading my texts.
I swear, reading this and some other threads on the UK subs today, we’ve forgotten how to be British.
As if not staring into your phone is somehow worse than sodcasting.
When I think of barebacking that woman isn’t usually what pops into my mind.
Was this a journalistic equivalent of being sent to buy a tin of tartan paint?
Who wrote this article? Harrison Ford?
Maybe they had their phones stolen?

Barebacking and rawdogging have a far different meaning to most adults
