40 years of travelling by tube and I’ve never seen this before. What catastrophe befell this poor seat to require both plastic sheeting and a sign?

  1. I don’t know why they didn’t just tell the truth and say someone had pissed on it.

  2. Seat close to the door, I’m saying someone’s waters broke on it

  3. That’s a bit grim. Why even have upholstered seats on the tube, plastic surely more hygienic

  4. I respect someone doing this. I have once before sat on a train seat unbeknownst to me had be what I suspected pissed on.

  5. Might have been cleaned and not dried in time for use.

    Thats what i would hope anyway.

  6. This is a GOOD thing. Jesus, a cover is far better than than sitting in someone’s piss or vom. Which I have accidentally done btw (not in the UK by the way – in a place that is far less considerate).

  7. I sat on a damp bus seat once. Couldn’t go home to change, so I spent the day at work smelling like I’d had **lots** of strong lager, even though I’d only had a small amount.

  8. I could do with some of these seat covers for my Amersham commute, since they closed the toilets at Finchley Road.

  9. What’s the matter bro? It DOESN’T have blood on it….

  10. The curvature and material of metro seats in South/East Asia have all been comfortable enough that I truly don’t understand why TFL won’t move to the same. I do though, we don’t have enough of a steady social contract for those type of seats to not get scratched and graffitied to hell.

  11. I sat on a wet seat on a train once around 20 years ago and I’ve checked before sitting down ever since

  12. Be thankful. I live in Brum and saw a woman scream at a bus driver not long ago because he told her not to sit on the seat that someone has thrown up on. It smelled delightful

  13. Maybe put plastic on all of them every day and let people sit on them.

  14. I once saw a guy in his 80s spew red sick all over himself and the people in front of him. Got up, walked off. Next passengers got on, sat down straight in his seat. The guy had pissed himself as well. 🤢

  15. Who remembers that London Underground song 😂

    “DONT TELL ME TO MIND THE GAP, I WANT MY F’ING MONEY BACK LONDON UNDERRRRGROUND”
