London commuters rage against backpack wearers on the Tube
A Monocle columnist laments the inconsiderate behavior of backpack-wearing passengers on the London Underground, describing them as lacking style and spatial awareness. The author recounts being pinned by a rucksack on the Victoria Line and witnessing a man eating warm chicken on the Piccadilly Line. Two solutions are proposed: telling offenders to get off the train or asking them to stow bags at their feet. The piece compares backpack wearers to door blockers and suggests their obliviousness goes unchecked beyond tuts from annoyed Londoners.
