Man lounges in hammock on Los Angeles bus, refuses to remove it; video goes viral

The video depicts the man lounging in a hammock aboard a public bus, refusing to dismantle his setup. The viral video has led to him being dubbed the "Hammock Guy".

The video was shared by @JoshyBeSloshy on X.

The Internet is a gift that keeps on giving. A video of a man, now dubbed the ‘Hammock Guy,’ is being circulated widely on social media. He earned the moniker because he refused to vacate a DIY hammock he set up inside a bus in Los Angeles.

The video also showed how fellow passengers, along with the bus driver, requested the man to take the hammock down, and how he kept refusing. The man argues there is no sign that states he cannot have a hammock on the bus. “Where is the no hammock sign?” the man asked.

As bus passengers kept screaming, “Get down, get down,” the individual snuggled into his hammock even more.

At a certain moment in the video, the man rotates in his hammock, making some laugh. As this defiant action disrupted the journey, a passenger could be heard saying, “Can you get down so that we can go where we are going?”
