Singaporeans start wearing blindfolds to avoid seeing their future

Following sightings of a man meditating blindfolded on the Circle Line, thousands of Singaporeans have adopted "Total Visual Suicide" to survive the daily commute.

By blocking out the sight of sweaty armpits and entitled aunties hoarding seats with grocery bags, commuters have finally found a way to pretend they aren't trapped in a metal tube of misery.

Psychologists suggest that the orange cloth serves as a tactical barrier against the soul-crushing reality of a forty-year career.

"Wah lau, if I don't see the auntie staring at me, I don't need to give up my seat lor," said one enlightened commuter, tightening his sleep mask.

"I just close eyes and imagine I am in Swiss Alps, not Serangoon."

LTA has welcomed the trend, noting that blindfolded passengers are significantly less likely to notice smoke coming from the tunnels.
