UK Vlogger Viral Video: A UK traveller’s train journey in India has suddenly become the talk of social media after he shared a video about his uncomfortable experience. Popular vlogger Backpacker Ben posted the clip on Instagram, where he explained how a regular train ride turned into a stressful one. Ben said that a man sitting in front of him kept placing his feet on Ben’s seat again and again. Even after politely requesting him to stop, nothing changed.
Sharing his frustration, Ben said, "This guy next to me keeps putting his foot on my chair. I have asked him a couple of times politely, Please don’t do that, and he smiles, and two minutes later, he puts his foot back on my chair." Things got even worse when another passenger walked past and accidentally spat on Ben’s arm. Shocked by the moment, the vlogger added, "Some person spat on my arm when he went past. He was chewing his cucumber thing, and he looked at me and said something. It went all on my arm, a big gob of it."

After the video went viral, people online were divided. Some viewers criticised the behaviour of the passengers, while others argued that Ben should have booked a higher-class coach for a more comfortable journey. The video shared on Instagram three days ago garnered 4.6 million views from social media users.
"Tip: Stop believing there's such a thing as a good Indian train experience," a user wrote. "It's funny that people blame the creator instead of fixing the problem; it's not about being cheap or expensive. "Cheapest" train in Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, Japan isn't like this. It's lowkey they normalise this behaviour and consider it as part of culture, I guess," a second user wrote.

"Bro books the lowest(cheapest) class possible and expects 5-star facilities," wrote a third user. "Why not just spend like $5-10, and you can have your own nice space? Haha, just decided to go with the cheap option for content so u could complain," added a fourth user. "Bro, if you upgrade to 2nd or 1st class, that will cost you like 5$ more," a fifth user added.
