We could blame the soothing female voice which only warns rail riders not to lean against the door, driving all the lazy bums to embrace the reassuring coolness of those gleaming silver poles.
Whether it’s to find extra balance so they can use both hands to play Flappy Bird or just a general appreciation of that rigid-pole sensation, their shameful actions deprive our height-challenged friends a necessary means of staying vertical.
Now, in true Thai Internet fashion, their bottoms are being called out and shamed or is it celebrated? – online via “Oh my pole.”
“Every form of leaning and gliding, we view them as art!” claims the Facebook page, which in three months has drawn nearly 13,000 likes.
And it pretty much describes what you’re going to find there – an abundance of bums rockin’ some poles. Just enjoy.
