Delhi Metro Viral Video: If there is a place where people can create an issue over something as simple as a ‘sitting posture’, it surely would be the Delhi Metro, thanks to Delhiites. And not so surprisingly, that is exactly what happened. A video of two men arguing over one of them sitting with his legs up, close to his chest, was shared on social media, which went viral almost instantly. The two were indulged in an intense verbal exchange, which was eventually interrupted by a police official.
However, until then, the argument was intriguing enough that it left the internet involved and somewhat divided. Some sided with the man and his posture and dubbed it a ‘common’ way of sitting, while the rest termed it against basic etiquette. The date and the exact location of the incident could not be confirmed.
The video was shared on Instagram, by the handle ‘delhi.connection’.

The video has been circulating on social media, ever since it was shared. People were quick to take sides, as some advocated that the man’s way of sitting was common and was not troublesome, while the rest agreed with the other man. The post was shared yesterday and pulled thousands of views.
Taking to the comment section, people shared their take. “What is the problem with this guy, he can sit whatever way he wants until he is not disturbing someone. And he is clearly not disturbing anyone by sitting like that. Some people just want reasons to fight with others,” a user said. “I don’t find anything problematic about his way of sitting. He is just minding his own business,” added another.
“Waah. Delhi Metro has become a cinema Hall with action and comedy movies nowadays,” added a third user. “Metro is a public transport. People should not consider it private property, so use it in the same way and let people do it too,” wrote a fourth person. “It's common, if you feel discomfort sit somewhere else,” added another. “Police wale uncle ruined it,” wrote another.
