A woman started throwing After Eights on the Tube and then the most British thing ever happened

British people have a reputation for being able to keep it together in even the most bizarre situations.

And when a drunk lady on the tube started throwing After Eight chocolate squares around, British commuters did what we do best:

Ignored her.

Talent agent Helen Clarkson, who was in Hammersmith recalled the incident:

FYI After Eights are solid chocolate pieces.

Getting one chucked at you sounds potentially painful.

Clarkson’s tweet was quickly picked up by sympathetic commuters who acutely shared her sentiments, and her post was shared over 17,000 times, and ‘liked’ 95,000 times.
