A viral video has taken the internet by storm, capturing one of the most bizarre yet hilarious moments ever seen on public transport.
The footage shows an elderly man standing at the train’s entrance, holding a plastic bag that somehow keeps preventing the door from closing. With every attempt the train makes to shut, the bag gets in the way, triggering a frustrating yet comical standoff between the man and the automatic doors.
Just when things couldn’t get funnier, a nearby conductor steps in, gently pushing the man’s hand away to let the doors close. But in the most unexpected twist, the elderly man repeats the same action—again and again—keeping the train stuck in an endless loop. The passengers inside are visibly amused, with one person even seen shaking their head in disbelief.
After several failed attempts to solve the situation, one quick-thinking commuter inside the train finally takes action. In a split-second move, they grab the man by the arm and pull him slightly backward—just enough for the doors to finally shut. The train moves forward, leaving behind a stunned but unbothered elderly man, still holding his now-infamous plastic bag.
Social media users can’t get enough of this absurdly funny moment. Comments have flooded in, with people joking, “This man is in a battle only he understands,” and “The bag had one mission: stop the train at all costs.”
While it remains unclear whether the man was intentionally trying to cause trouble or simply unaware of the chaos he was creating, one thing is certain—this is the internet’s new favorite train struggle.
