Maybe you got trapped in a door while rushing, or you nearly fell over as a train came into a station.
The chances are it’s not going to be as embarrassing as what these Londoners have shared.
Taking to the Reddit group r/London, locals have been revealing what happened to them on the Tube, and some of them are shocking.
The mass confession session began as one local said they were left “utterly mortified” after throwing up on the Tube.

Following the honest post, many other Londoners jumped in to share their own embarrassing stories.
The most embarrassing things Londoners have done on the Tube
One Reddit user shared how they fainted on the way home from work: “I was on my way home from work during rush hour and long story short got to the platform at Euston, fainted, as I was coming back to I got hit with a surge of diarrhoea and vomit all at once while surrounded by a group of people trying to help me.”
Another local had a run-in with a loose bottle of ale: “Got on a busy intercity train back to London.
“Put my bag on the overhead shelf and a bottle of lively real ale fell out, hit the floor and exploded up to the ceiling, covering everybody within 5 metres in stinky beer.
“Then we all had to sit there together for three hours.
“I looked at the floor the whole way.”

One person said their most embarrassing moment comes after having their wisdom teeth taken out, writing: ” I fell asleep on the train and woke up with blood leaking from my mouth all over the front of my beige mac.”
A fourth Londoner shared how they nearly lost their head (literally) to Tube doors: “Got my head stuck in the closing doors.
“Multiple passengers had to pull the doors apart to free me.
“Had big black marks down the side of my head when I got to work.”

One final story, that might top them all: “Many years ago, I was on the Jubilee Line when someone sitting next to me puked.
“They immediately put their hand to their mouth to try and stop it, and it all ended up squirting to the sides.
“The puke hit me hard as I sat right next to them. As long as you didn’t puke on someone, I think you’re good.”
