Tokyo train drunk

It’s not unusual at all to see train travellers in Tokyo either utterly worn out from work, or worse for wear from one too many. This fella, however, was so tired after a tipple or ten that even the seat was an unsteady step too far.

  1. Simply awesome. I’ve seen some disorderly behaviour on trains in my lifetime but it seems Japanese people wont bother you even in a completely plastered state.

    • Yeah, he was simply left to sleep where he was — the odd glance the only reaction. In fact it’s hard to see anyone bothering him ’til he reached the end of the line, when the staff would have had to try and wake him up.

  3. I can’t imagine that was terribly comfortable. Poor guy will be nursing a sore neck and back in addition to his hangover. Hopefully a lesson learned.

    And no one seems to care.

    Such a uncomfortable position to sleep! I think he able to sleep is so much better than those who make extreme intolerant behaviours like shouting etc….

    When my daughter was a toddler she would regularly sleep like that. Maybe he’s been reborn?
