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.

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

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.

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.
