A Scotsman living in Spain, fed up with what many commuters on the Madrid Metro do every day.

The city of Madrid often surprises those who visit or move there. Part of its charm lies in the vibrant life on its streets and how the city has managed to weave a perfect blend of modern and historic. Its prestigious museums, first-class cuisine, and public spaces like Retiro Park also add to the appeal.

Furthermore, for many newcomers, the capital's public transport is much admired, especially the Metro , which is one of the largest and most efficient in the world for getting around quickly and cheaply. On social media like TikTok , this transport system has been featured in dozens of videos featuring culture shocks .

Now a Scotsman who has been living in Madrid for a year and a half has become famous for his videos about his daily life in the capital on his @lucaskjes account. He's Lucas, and while he usually comments on culinary topics, he's now talking about what he considers the " chilling phenomenon " affecting thousands of Metro users. The post is attracting interest from many.

"Why isn't anyone talking about the mysterious powers the Madrid Metro possesses?" he begins the recording with an ironic tone as he walks down the street. Lucas comments that before people get on the car, "people are like normal" and everything is seemingly fine until, once inside, " something strange happens ."

Thus, the young Scotsman asserts that "the knowledge that headphones exist simply disappears from their memory, and everyone plays videos, music, or whatever through the speaker." Lucas continues in a joking tone, insisting that it's strange that this doesn't happen to him and remains convinced that "these technologies do exist, and I use them so as not to disturb other people."

" Maybe I have some genetic immunity ," the Scotsman continues, emphasizing that he has seen other travelers with the same immunity, but that there are many affected by this forgetting of headphones and that they possibly "remember it when they get off the train."

Finally, Lucas emphasizes that he simply wants to "raise awareness about this mysterious phenomenon that continues to occur on the subway." "I hope they find a cure soon," he concludes the post. Some followers have taken advantage of the video to implore people to use headphones, and one London internet user adds that "unfortunately, this is something that is happening all over the world ."
