Some netizens criticized the man for behaving inappropriately, suggesting that he should not treat public transportation as if it were his own home.

The woman with the elderly man is reportedly his wife, and some netizens questioned why they were playing such games on public transportation. Overall, the incident has sparked a discussion among netizens about appropriate behavior in public spaces.
