You've more than likely picked up a copy of the Metro when on a train or a bus.
Therefore, you've probably come across the 'Rush Hour Crush' section of the free paper. It's basically a place where creeps go to anonymously declare their crush on a stranger that commutes on the same route.
If you're familiar with the entries, you may have thought that some are too far fetched to be true. Well, some of them aren't.

As well as the 'Rush Hour Crush' section, Shocko also submits to the 'Good Deed Feed' - a place where people thank strangers for random acts of kindness.
He once managed to get an entry in each section, using the same made up scenario, in the same day. Genius.

In all honesty, I've got a lot of time for this.
Also, the fact these get published outlines just how awful some of the legitimate ones are.
Check out more of Shocko's work on his website.
