The video, shared on TikTok by Luvuyo Ndaba, shows the woman seated next to the sleeping man, visibly uncomfortable but trying to remain calm.
She chews gum and glances away, making an effort not to wake him.
Her caption, “One of the reasons I hate public transport,” paired with crying emojis, hinted at her frustration while also adding humor to the situation.
The incident, which happened in South Africa, quickly went viral, drawing various reactions from viewers.
Many praised her patience, while others joked about the possibility of an unexpected connection between the two.
“Thank you for being kind. Some people would have pushed him off immediately,” one user commented.
Another viewer teased, “Maybe he’s your soulmate. Strange things happen in matatus!”
Some speculated about their relationship, with one remarking, “There’s no way you don’t know that man.”
Others, however, shared their own public transport experiences, with one commenter recalling, “A woman once handed me her kids and a chicken to hold on a bus. Public transport is wild!”
Despite the mixed emotions the video sparked, the common theme was humor.
One viewer joked, “Don’t fall asleep too; people will think you’re a couple!”
The incident also drew comparisons to another viral story, where a matatu conductor in Kenya was hailed as a hero for helping a stranded passenger during a flood.
The conductor carried the passenger on his back to safety, earning praise for his selflessness.
Would you stay calm if a stranger fell asleep on your shoulder?
This viral moment is a humorous example of how everyday situations can create connections, laughter, and sometimes even viral fame.
