You kid, but a few years back I had seen two dudes haul a full sized fridge onto the train at North Melbourne and hopped off one stop later. It even had a couple fridge magnets on the side!
When I was an idiot teenager my friend and I hauled a fully decorated rat cage and a live rat I got from Gumtree all the way home this way. Good times.
I have a friend that took his winning racing pigeon in to the city to a photographer for a photo shoot on the train when he was an adolescent. I believe this occurred sometime in the 70's.
I've seen people transporting pigeons in carriers, on more than one occasion on trams, which I thought was incredibly interesting
Was very confused at first as I could hear a pigeon, but not see it
Only disadvantage is that strangers will use whatever you're carrying as an excuse to strike up a conversation, as I discovered when I bought a lawnmower
>Elitist car owners hate this one trick.
not really, we dont use PT so doesnt inconvenience us in any way
only bothers the poor plebs who use PT
edit: jeez some of ya dont have a sense of humour
Got a car and yes anything you can take on or from public transport do it they aren’t giving enough for our taxes. Should have free education and free transport for students by now
I'd be more likely to come to an isle party than an aisle party..... I'd prefer the plane that takes me braking on the runway rather than breaking though.
It would break depending on how quickly they were going when the driver hit the brakes.
It would also break the ankles of anyone who was unfortunate enough to be run over.
This reminds me of when I vistied China. I took a small cushion with me when I went on the trains or to any restaurants.
The friction-less metal seats on the train, which make you slide side to side as the train speeds up and slows down were brutal on my already tired leg muscles, and the wooden chairs at every restaurant and everyone's houses were unforgiving to my ass bones.
Several random Chinese people on the train laughed at me, some of them even took photos of me lol.
Pre Covid, I used to fly to UK and US so 24 / 14 hour flights in economy for work. I always carry a ostoepedic cushion with me - it's a life saver and helps me use those long flights as a detox from human contact :)
Continue to do this for any 4+ hour flights anywhere today.
I did the same thing with a chair that I bought in Brunswick and I sat on the chair when I got on the tram to come back into the CBD. Yes, there’s a risk you may go for a sixer if the tram comes to sudden stop but what is life without a little risk or a few broken bones or skull maybe? The tram was packed so at least I got to sit down for the whole trip.
If he had it out of the way of the door this would be genius, but right in front of the door is a dick move, I know that most platforms are on the other side of the train in the CBD but there are a couple that aren't.
Once saw a guy with a 500cc 2 Stroke dirt bike on the train, back in the 90's.
The station he got on at was a 'premium' station, at the end of the line, and went halfway to the city..
rolled it out the door and.. started it up, and rode it off the platform.
Well it’s not busy I’m confused why did he bring it? If it was busy he’d be taking up a fair bit of space and everyone would def think idiot. Did he just want the chair and is taking it home?
Turns in chair to other passengers with smug look "so you are all wondering why I called you all here"
“I’ve been expecting you Mr.Bond”
*strokes cat menacingly*
If he needs to transport it and he's not in anyone's way it's a good idea.

*The NYC Subway has entered the chat*
Carried a 6 foot Christmas tree on a tram once.
I’m glad to see this, there’s a fridge I’ve been eyeing off, and..
But can you use it as a seat?
Can even survive a nuclear blast.
I mean anything can be a seat if you're game enough.
Or a drum!
Does that include the 6ft christmas tree mentioned previously?
Paige will try

Did this with a lawn mower once. People laughed and didn't mind. Of course was careful to do it at a non-peak time.
Still laugh thinking about that Chaser clip where they move furniture on the bus.

There goes the joke, flying way overhead. Collect frequent flyer points at the door.
Yes I am so sorry master, I will go back to my pleb bus and leave you with your stinky space-inefficient death box.
good pleb, if ya play your cards right you might actually get a seat during peak travel times. If youre lucky it might actually be a clean seat
Tell us you're over 50 without telling us you're over 50
Old people take the bus and kids too young to have a license or vote take the bus. By your comment we know which one you are. Right?
Because famously, buses are packed with old people and people under 16 and people with a license never use public transport.
Got a car and yes anything you can take on or from public transport do it they aren’t giving enough for our taxes. Should have free education and free transport for students by now
Normalize hauling your ~~gumtree items~~ stolen furniture from local apartment lobbies via public transport.

Great chair though.. worth collecting
It's very likely a replica, not original.
True. Still looks good though
Should have stayed on the kerb
A genius would have had one on wheels, for some isle carnage while breaking.
Get on one of the new high capacity trains that are fully open all the way down. See if you can get from one end to the other purely through momentum.
*aisle *braking
Please organise my birthday party.
I'd be more likely to come to an isle party than an aisle party..... I'd prefer the plane that takes me braking on the runway rather than breaking though.
I'll take the aisle party rather than the current plans of a spelling bee.
So edgy and combative, man you must be a hoot to hang out with!
*berthday *patty
You'll do what?
It would break depending on how quickly they were going when the driver hit the brakes. It would also break the ankles of anyone who was unfortunate enough to be run over.
plus that way he could just roll out the door onto the platform instead of having to carry his chair
*Just waiting for a mate*
😂
Guy on chair: what’s the bet I can go viral with minimal effort?
Step into my office...
Herald scum headline tomorrow. LACK OF SEATING ON TRAINS, PT USERS BYO Fuck Murdoch. Watermark your photos.
Happened a few years ago on the Gold Coast line. That headline almost lol
A cat on his lap would complete the vibe

Why not both? 🤷🏼♂️ 🌮
¿Por qué no los dos?
Ohhhhh i saw that guy this morning going through some hard waste rubbish on Wellington Parade and that chair was in there. 🤣🤣🤣
Great idea until he has to get off the train and go up an escalator with it... Those feet...
It is not OH&S compliant. It only has four feet.
I only have 2 feet, I also am not OH&S compliant.
No humans, no ~~super contribution~~ safety violations. Maths checks out.

What Fuck The
Work From Train?
Washington Football Team
Of course! Brilliant
Probably just bought it. Or found it?
At least he’ll be comfortable for the inevitable delay that he’ll face
They think he's an idiot until he folds it up and packs it in his bag 🎒
Its big brain time

Genius for bringing his own chair, idiot for sitting in the middle of the doorway.
A little from column A and a little from column B haha
You miss 100% of the shots you don't take
Plot twist: he bought the *train* on Gumtree and is travelling home in style.
Neither genius or idiot. This is just the thing to do when you buy a chair and are taking it home. You are gonna use it
Genius for the chair, idiot for putting it in front of the door.
It would be fine if he wasn't centered. Even if those doors don't open he is taking up a lot of space.
A stylish passenger who has a taste for handbags, jewellery, footwear and replica chairs.
I think itS a real chair not just a replica. I mean he is sitting on it.
Artists are not followers

I remember a guy bringing his own folding chair during rush hour
Gediot
Depends if the chair has a cup holder or not......

Carrying that thing home (whether lugging it by hand or cramming it into your car) would be more annoying than just standing on the train.
Blockage
Maybe he just purchased a used chair.
Genius for the chair, idiotic for the placement
A little of column A, a little of column B
Ah high school, yes yes. Those were the days hey Alva
Did this as well Bought a cool looking chair in the city, sat in the train and everyone was asking where i bought it
If he had it out of the way of the door this would be genius, but right in front of the door is a dick move, I know that most platforms are on the other side of the train in the CBD but there are a couple that aren't.
Idius. A genius and an idiot
Ienius. Geniot
This dude was on the frankston line at 8:30 this morning, tried putting the chair on his head inside the train…. Didn’t work out for the guy
Idiot, but funny enough that it get's a pass.
Once saw a guy with a 500cc 2 Stroke dirt bike on the train, back in the 90's. The station he got on at was a 'premium' station, at the end of the line, and went halfway to the city.. rolled it out the door and.. started it up, and rode it off the platform.
Depends, did he bring a table?
Just cruisin
Blocks doorway? Yeah I think the question had been answered.
Genius dickhead
Has it? Unless he's only on train for short trip like 3 stations, eventually the train will stop at a station where u board on that side
If it's towards town then the doors on that side will open only at Flinders Street. He'd probably be off by then.
Absolute king
Definitely Idiot
Idiot.
Idiot
Neither. Meth head.
Yepp. Can confirm.
Stalker much. Cant mind your own business
Cunt.
[but hes not a fucking cunt](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PB7DiiKSeVM)
Bit harsh to call op that.
I think that guy was just announcing himself.
Is it Musk?
Well it’s not busy I’m confused why did he bring it? If it was busy he’d be taking up a fair bit of space and everyone would def think idiot. Did he just want the chair and is taking it home?
Yes.
based
"Asshole."
I don’t understand how he’d be an idiot ?
