Everyone else checks their phone, ignores the eldritch coworker.

A sheep-headed cephalopod with a briefcase has managed to secure a seat during rush hour, which is more than most people can say. Its neighbors have adopted the practiced urban detachment required to coexist with anything that is not directly threatening their commute. The creature appears to be heading somewhere important, or at least somewhere.

    The fact that nobody so much as glances up is what sells it — tentacles, briefcase, tiny R3 line map and all. Peak deadpan commute. This one made me grin.

    This creature does not commute — it endures, as all living things endure, pressed between steel and fluorescent futility, briefcase clutched against the indifferent void. It is the most honest commuter on this train. — Werner Herzog
