From commuters in gimp suits to men vomiting into their own top hats, Londoners have been revealing their strangest commuting experiences.

A Reddit thread called "What's the craziest thing you've seen on the tube?" has had scores of hilarious, and occasionally disturbing, responses since it started this week.

One poster, dougiiebah from Forest Hill, even managed a photo of the worst thing he'd ever seen - a fellow traveller eating an M&S prawn salad with his bare hands while horrified commuters looked on.

He wrote: "It was so rough to watch. He then spent a good 2 minutes licking his hands clean."

Reddit user Bell_Whiff chimed in: "I saw a man in a three-piece suit eating a big tomato as one would eat an apple. It was awful."

Another recalled seeing a man wearing a sinister Boris Johnson mask, standing between the doors of two carriages and urinating through the gap, all while looking at shocked passengers "with his stupid face".

Poster Chickenkyiv, who appears to have had a hard time on the Tube, recalled seeing a man "vomiting into his own top hat" and another hungry traveller "peeling open a Pot Noodle and trying to eat the dehydrated contents with his fingers ".

And Emphursis came across an unusual commuter while catching a Jubilee line train heading towards London Bridge.

He explained: "Around Bermondsey, I realised that there was a guy in a full gimp suit stood nearby.

"Just chilling there. Ball gag in, collar, lead and all.

"I didn't see who was holding the lead."

Another poster shuddered: "I saw a drunk woman hike up her dress and squat down in the aisle of a district line train and urinate.

"The p*** streamed down the carriage towards passengers. It was the last train and she apparently couldn't hold it."

Cantevenmakeafist wrote of a stomach-churning experience. He said: "Bloke vomited heavily into one of those single seats you get on the District Line.

"This was just as the train pulled in, so the seat contained it until I got off, thankfully.

"He got off, stayed on the same platform and by the time I'd reached the opposite side of the track he was making out with a girl that I assume he'd only just met. Sickly suave."

User bnf1 recalled a confused-sounding man "who kept asking to sit down because he was pregnant".

He explained: "He was wearing budgie smugglers, had a distinct bulge and was as thin as a stick. Also had a fairy wand."

Lastly, foreign student Maxsw had a particularly unpleasant late night experience.

He wrote: "I was with a group of friends on the Piccadilly line (Earls Court to Leicester Square) heading to G-A-Y.

"I was put in a headlock by some random guy who said if you ever touch me again I will chop your f****** head off.

"We were on opposite sides of the carriage the entire time."
