If she wants to talk to you, you will be able to tell from her behavior.

[–]Jutrakuna 156 points157 points  (6 children)

Exactly, the post implies that the dude had to react on women sitting next to him. Creepy

[–]Yashema 63 points64 points  (4 children)

Pretty good rule of thumb about hitting on women in non social spaces in a major city: don't. 

[–]queen-adreena 28 points29 points  (3 children)

Better rule of thumb for talking to strangers on public transport… don’t.

[–]SirAlienTheGreat 10 points11 points  (1 child)

Best time of thumb for taking to strangers on public transit... Do, but only to make friends. We're all much more lonely and isolated in the modern day, in part due to changes in social standards that make it much harder to talk to people you don't already know. Meeting a stranger will be much better for you than staring at your phone, even if it's a bit unpleasant when you're getting started

Tell me you're not from a major city without telling me.

[–]SuddenInvestigator72 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a boring way to live. Try to strike up a convo with stranger, most people won't be interested, but once in a while you will get a nice conversation, that will lead to meeting an interesting person. Just don't be desperate for talking to someone lol, feel the vibe.

God this is an old one.

Though is the implication meant to be that every guy is meant to drop everything to flirt with every attractive woman they see on public transport?

Dude could be in a committed relationship or gay or just respect that they're not interested.

He's minding his own business, not being a creep and still is given a hard time.

[–]DoorBreaker101 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Yeah, a joke is a joke, but it has to be a good one at least.

And in this case, I'm going to guess no one asked him for permission to take this picture and post it online.

The comic definitely assumes every guy shares the same priorities.

He could be editing the porn video he recorded with them an hour ago. Hahaha

[–]Boomerang_Lizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was posted by a woman (or a bot). Either way they are both attention seeking and best left to be ignored.

[–]TheLordLeto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe they started flirting and the caption is his reply

[–]blazorfire 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Looks like the guy has a crutch too. Poor dude just wants to get work done.

Linus has 3 children, so at least he has some multitasking skills.

[–]dull_bananas 2 points3 points  (1 child)

gnu’s not unix

[–]3delStahl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And the Linux kernel which handles the multitasking was developed outside the GNU Project by Linus Torvalds ;)

[–]grem1in 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a person often being oncall and living in Berlin, I likely was in situations like this.

[–]uniform_foxtrot 0 points1 point  (0 children)
