As a lazy Jersey girl (shut up, Jersey is cool) who frequents "the city" or New York City during her weekends (okay I admit, Jersey is boring), one of my greatest struggles is finding a seat in the subway. Korean internet comedian Goteng understands my pain in his latest trending video, "Whenever You Try to Sit on the Subway," as he depicts what it's like to wait for a seat on the ever-crowded public transportation.

The video starts off with Goteng hurriedly looking for a seat. Spotting a young man grabbing for his backpack, Goteng quickly stands in front of him, thinking the man will get off soon. He mentally repeats, "Neryuh, neryuh," ("Get off, get off") as he eagerly watches the man pack, only to see the man freeze and stare off into the distance. "What?" Goteng's face drops. "What happened? You weren't getting off?" 

Later, the man accepts a call and says, "Hello? Yeah, I'm getting off [soon]." Goteng gets excited again and beckons him wildly to "neryuh, neryuh," only to watch him fall asleep instead. 

 

When the man finally leaves, and Goteng finally can grab the coveted seat. He is happy and comfortable--but the brief moment of bliss is but fleeting. The announcer soon states that Goteng has arrived at his stop, leading him to have the funniest reaction as follows:

"Oh." 

"[This whole time] you were getting off the same stop as me, huh." 

Cue the lulz.
