Short of putting on a dress and a fake pregnancy bump, or elaborate facial makeup to look several decades older, it can be tricky for a young man to get a seat on a busy train. No one looks on with sympathy when a young person, in the prime of their life, is forced to stand, sometimes for whole tens of minutes. Presumably fed up that his elders were hogging all the seats on the train, a chap from China came with an ingenious trick to get himself somewhere to plonk his bum: scare the bejesus out of his fellow passengers with a fake seizure.
