In a move hailed by sociopaths nationwide, a commuter has discovered that the secret to inner peace is a snot-stained handkerchief and total denial of his surroundings.

The man, likely exhausted from the sheer weight of being a productive member of this soul-sucking meritocracy, decided that looking at the East-West Line was a violation of his human rights.

Stomper J, a legendary kaypoh lanjiao with the personality of a damp rag, caught the "unusual sight" on camera while presumably hunting for other people to shame for minor social infractions.

"LOL," commented J, whose only contribution to society is providing 13 seconds of low-quality footage to a website that survives on the collective misery of others.

The "eye mask" setup involved a carefully folded cloth held in place by spectacles, a design so revolutionary it makes Dyson look like a bunch of uneducated CBs.

Commuters are increasingly turning to blindfolds to avoid accidental eye contact with the terrifyingly vacant stares of their fellow corporate drones.

While some call it "creative," most Singaporeans recognize it for what it is: a desperate attempt to pretend Jurong East doesn't actually exist.

SMRT has yet to comment on whether blocking your vision is a security risk, though they are reportedly more concerned about people who don't stand behind the yellow line.

If this trend continues, the government may eventually provide every citizen with an official PAP-branded blindfold to help us ignore the rising cost of everything.

Until then, we must rely on our own dirty handkerchiefs to block out the sight of losers like J who have nothing better to do than film us while we sleep.
