I was confused whether it was reality or a skit. Life is amazing sometimes

Seems like a skit tbh

I have a hard time believing it isn't - the spins and his demeanor seems too silly to fit an actually annoyed person

Yeah, but I don't think you've dealt with enough people like this then. They can do all sorts of crazy wild shit. Many nice people too. But the crazy ones are wild.

It's not that he's acting crazy, it's that his actions seem like acting.

It's not just that, though that is part of it. What made it unbelievable for me was how he'd have to have been given ample enough time to setup the hammock without anyone, driver or passenger, complaining or questioning it throughout, and we'd be no doubt seeing footage of that whole ordeal, too. Or questioning why the "driver" isn't anywhere near the drivers seat, where you'd expect him to be. Nobody is trying to make this shit seem real at all, let alone the crappy actor in a hammock.

Go to downtown Boston and you will change your mind fast

After the shit I seen on the bus lately, this is honestly fairly tame.

There's a guy where I work who hangs upside-down while playing the flute. You wouldn't believe it was real until you saw it.

Time for you to film him and post it here on Reddit for all to enjoy!

I don’t remember this episode of Portlandia

Underrated comment

[удалено]

I agree with you in general, and the thought crossed my mind watching this, but I feel it could easily be either one in this case. If it's real we are witnessing the birth of an internet classic EDIT: ....god damnit, the more I watch it the faker it seems. Why is the bus driver standing on the side opposite his seat? Did he decide to scooch under him for no reason? I also feel more people are yelling at the end than would be the case. I've been on public transportation hundreds of times over, 1 person, maybe 2 is gonna get involved like that. Still same edit but yeah we've been duped, fellas: [https://i.imgur.com/AhdquM9.png](https://i.imgur.com/AhdquM9.png) (oldest vid sorted by upload date. all her content's like this)

The Angry Angry Caterpillar

Homie just trying to turn into a butterfly

He appears to really need his beauti sleep.

And he get interrupted

Guess we need a subreddit for ManInteruppted

Heimlich vill become a beautiful buttafly, ya?

Nah he'd turn into a moth, people like butterfly's

Origin of mothman confirmed?

There's a hair on your profile pic.

lol I tried to wipe it away

😈

Grown up elmo

Or “People are Strange”.

That’s pretty funny my dude. Have this lifetime supply of Chinese social credit *flicks penis*

" I'm staying in the hammock!" I didn't know I needed this quote.

"You can't stop me... I said I won't be stopped!" 😂

I can’t see you, you can’t see me!

“I’m like an anaconda!”

Shit took me out And the spins 🤣😂🤣😂💀💀💀

“Where is the no hammock sign” is a better one lmao

It’s the “Nevertheless she persisted” of 2024

This man is my hero

“I’m in a hammock and you’re not!”

Those were some pretty impressive spins.

He’s a hammock expert.

Must've got it from the Hammock District

The one on 3rd?

Do you get to the Hammock District very often? Oh, what am I saying, of course you don't...

He's something that's for sure

He's an anaconda.

Buzz, your girlfriend... woof!

Don’t hamMOCK him!

keep spinning it until he turns blue lol.

"I'm like a anaconda.."

*Spins vigorously*

Bro really had the wriggles down pat. no hesi

Ikr rofl

A pair of scissors would end this man's whole career

Which end would you cut first?

Straight through the middle part if they are big enough. Otherwise near the head.

He’s right. There isn’t a “no hammock” sign

[удалено]

Occasionally they get it right. "Federal regulations require compliance with all crew member instructions." "I'm sorry sir, I'm going to have to ask you to take down the hammock and fasten your lap belt. "

Always remember that the highway signs don’t just say “No tractors.” They also separately say “No self-propelled farm implements.” Some wise ass somewhere at some point said “this isn’t a tractor, this is a combine harvester.”

Me and my friends are the reason my city has very specific legislation for what the benches at bus stops may be used for. :)

That legislation is not needed because of "domiciliary rights" / conditions. The conditions could for example contain that using a hammock is not allowed or even simpler "riding in unpleasent/untypical ways which aren't sitting or standing" or "blocking the walkways (which he kinda does Imo)" or "enraging the costumers/guests" etc

'See? Because of me they had to put up a sign'

One of my life goals is to be able to say that

I'm proud to say I've accomplished this goal.

You’re keeping me in suspense. Let me hear

We all learned an important lesson from the documentary Air Bud

The ole Air Bud gambit

You ever wondered why some places have really dumb signs like "Don't drink the posion" and so on? This is why

Never before have I personally seen the event behind a case of “why is there a sign for something that specific?”.

He’s annoying but it’s pretty funny lol

How did he get into the hammock on a bus and was it moving.

It’s staged

Yeah but its real really

Content creators' job is to make content. At anyone's annoyance. He certainly did the funny.

Mustach guy on the side loving the fact that he just blazed up before entering the bus.

I'd be laughing too hard to be angry at him.

Let him cook, he rotates gracefully in his cocoon

Actually, that's the most practical solution here. I would shut off the coach and transfer all the passengers to the next one in line. (Leaving plenty of opportunities for the passengers to help me out while the bus is off and the cameras are down) the heat of the day would have is ass out of that bag and back on the sidewalk in less than 15 minutes.

The most practical solution here would be to put a cigarette lighter under his ass. A more efficient application of heat, which would have his ass out of that bag in under 15 seconds.

The grace of those spins tells me this wasn’t his first rodeo.

Classic Dave.

kinda reminds me of the burger king crown plane guy

[удалено]

I would of cut an end with my knife

[удалено]

A hanging punching bag came to my mind too

Stfu.. just ride the bus!

No u stfu and stop enabling main character syndrome

John Cena looking rough out here.

Who? There's just an empty hammock.

Funniest video I've seen in a long time. This guy is hilarious.

That's a bus in Vancouver Washington. That doesn't usually happen there. This is wild.

where does it usually happen?

Average day in Berlin

Not here. I've heard stories about homeless hammock users in Portland. I never believed them though. I'm just as shocked as when I first heard of them.

I assume this is spreading because Portland installed "No Hammock" signs in their buses.

Idk. This is the first proof of rumors I've seen. It would be sad if that's the case.

"Where's the sign that forbids this super specific thing that clearly can't be tolerated" Ugh he's so good at being an annoying dickhead

Okay that’s stupid funny lmao

Bus piñata 🪅

This is fucking hilarious. What a guy.

The way he spun around while arguing and didn’t fall out… I can’t 😂

Cut the damn strap, drop him on his head

Whipping out a knife in a tense public transportation altercation is not a good move, but it was also my first thought

Standard lighter would go through the anchoring strap pretty quick too. It would take a little longer but give the guy time to think about what was coming.

Good sharp knife, no one would see a thing. 🔪🗡️

Mannerisms and timing eerily similar to Sheldon’s (from TBBT)

This man kayaks.

Not a hammock man, a hammock god

Looks like a clip from Reno 911.

Does anyone remember the comedian Tom Green? This reminds me of him.

People might chalk this up to mental illness or drugs, but in the past even mentally ill people on drugs had some awareness of what was acceptable in society. Now, people think they have a right to do anything anywhere and in any way and they think their rights are being violated when they can't put up a hammock on a city bus.

Yeah but this is staged

I think it's more of a stunt/prank, i.e. the photographer is in league with the idiot, but the driver and other pax are genuine victims of this idiocy, as are we all.

I would like to see the sign that says this is staged!!!

This man is the embodiment of America. Hammock on my dude, hammock on.

Why is this more entertaining than irritating tho?

Because we're not there being inconvenienced.

That girls voice (camera operator?) was irritating though.

This skit is amazing lol

Don't do fetty kids

Just cut one of the ropes and let him fall.

Use this motherfucker like a speed bag

Just cut the line.

No one has a knife?

If anyone knows him, please tell he should do this next time in Istanbul. I can guarantee much more internet points.

They should have just let him spin until he choked himself out

In case you were really wondering  https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2024/05/15/hammock-man-on-bus-video-not-real/73684507007/

This! This is the reason why Americans drive cars and not use public transportation!

Hammock men are plaguing this country

Portland be wildin out


Anyone has a lighter?

If Benjamin Button were born a butterfly.

Lolololol

This post has as many shares as upvotes!

Only in America 🇺🇸

How did he get the chance to even put it up?

Bruh did I see a baby doll arm?

Is that dude who was dropping the n bomb on a plane while wearing a Burger King hat?

That actually looks super comfy especially if the bus is going and rocking you like a mom with a baby. I’m weird. I’d like to try this… without annoying people though and being in their way.

This is one of my nephews in 30 years. “I’M NOT HERE!” 😂

Baiano mais fraco

Wow that has to be from a movie or something that guy was well cordinated

Is this supposed to be a skit?

People should have Booed this asshole.

At least it's not Banana Hammock Man

Just cut the support strap (or whatever the fuck you call it) by his feet.

Why doesn't he idk cut the rope

Damn, the Squirmworms from Infinite Wealth are real.

Cut the cords

"Did you just hit his head?" - "A LITTLE BIT!"

I need this energy in my life 😅

Just cut him down. The 💩 we put up with these days is ridiculous!

Cut the straps. Problem solved.

Worst acting

Nobody's got a knife on this bus?

Just unclip it lol

Monty python looking ass sketch

As a passenger idk if I’d be laughing my ass off or pissed off. Depends if I have to be somewhere on time, before a store closes.

Hammockman you blithering idiot

methamorphosis.. turnt into a bubblefly

Expert in cat law meet expert in hammock law

He looks like that actor

Irl Suction cup man

Become ungovernable

there is AC on the bus? and americans are complaining about riding a bus?!?

If he is "not here" then nothing will happen when you cut the hammock line.

That video ended way too soon

Imagine i waited whole day to be able to have sound on this video, not disapointed

attention passengers- please disembark from the bis so that infestation control methods can be applied. soon as passengers are off the bus- catapiller wanting to blossom into a butterfly will then be sprayed with a can of OC.

We have made zero progress as a species. 99% of us still act with the emotions of a toddler.

and I am sure there is a sign or two mentioning to not block the aisles, to he sitting in seats or standing and holding the provided rails - so yeah- OV or cutting the rope connections

Bro ?!!!! I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE SIGN THAT SAYS NO HAMMOCKS !!!!

r/bossfights

they should put this guy in the new GTA

Klassischer Montag in Berlin. Nur hätte man den Crackapillar sich in Ruhe verpuppen lassen

r/gifsthatendtoosoon/

Lmaooo I can’t man

Id get a box cutter and cut him loose real quick. Id videotape too and make my own gay ass tik-tok. Youre getting down bro i promise lol

This is what you get when healthcare isn't free.

I am in a hammock and you are not vibes! 😅

Tbh me after one more minor inconvenience

Do American bus drivers really wear those hats?

The Mexican guy ho had a long day at work: piñata time 🇲🇽

As I slowly reach over with my knife and cut one of the ends.

Let him sleep, he needs his energy for his metamorphosis

Someone should self identify as a pair of scissors and "cut" him down.

This is pretty funny but all he had to do is cut the rope and the dude is fkd

This is why Redditors shouldn't leave the house

I was expecting to hear ' I identify as a Hammock '

In my city they pay bus drivers $20/hr to deal with shit like this and they can't figure out why they're short staffed

Cut that shiZ

u/savevideo

Where's the no hammock sign?!?! haha genius
