London

People of London were absolutely horrified to see these buttons with the words "Tube chat?" popping up all over the place. The source, according to Mashable, turned out to be a man named Jon Dunne and his wife, both from small towns in America and now living in London. He told them, "I thought it would be way more fun [but] it was sort of brutal." 

No kidding, the response to #tubechat has been hilarious but not very welcoming.

Although, this one isn't a bad idea:

National Health Services (NHS) worker Kara Florish took to Twitter to document receiving a body-image shaming business card on London's Underground.

The card, which states to be from a group called "Overweight Haters Ltd", reads "fat" in large letters on one side. The other side contains a paragraph with a description of the "organization".

Writer Sean Thomas Knox witnessed a similar, separate body-shaming card incident, and tweeted about it's authenticity.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is karma.

Man on a leash being led around London (Farringdon) surely a stunt for something. #nothingisreal - pic.twitter.com/HAH7mHs6Rq

Taking a moment to imagine uproar if man had been walking woman through Farringdon on a dog leash.

You know you've lived in London too long when your only reaction to a man being led along on a leash is to roll your eyes and ignore it.

This is why AMERICA is objectively better than every country on earth. Happy Memorial Day!

I sometimes have a hard time remembering who someone is when I'm taking a picture right beside their name too.
