To pick hair off my clothes on public transport

Is this really a genuine post? Oh my word! Sitting by the way not sat.

I have a thing about hair. It really, really freaks me out especially when it's not attached to somebody's body. I find it as disgusting as other people might find spiders. I'd not have been happy thinking about a loose strand of hair on the floor or the seat. And yes, I know, you csnt avoid them and it really used to cause me problems though I'm grtting better with it. People brushing their hair in front of me freaks me out unless it's family.

Having said that if I'd had found a hair on my trousers I'd have dusted it off as well though if there was a bin I'd have binned it. It might not have been your hair even. So I can understand she found it off putting but I don't think she should have told you off.

The people saying that it’s “disgusting” and they would feel physically sick must have issues. I imagine they never go to the hairdresser, think of the hairs they’d see there! 🤷🏻‍♀️😱

It is completely reasonable to pick a hair off your clothes in public. Honestly. How some people make it through the day I don’t know.

No. Don't reaffirm poor behaviour.

From somebody picking a single hair off their clothes that might not even have been theirs?? This is really over the top.

Wow I currently have postpartum hair loss so shedding like a Labrador, my hair would be all over the train! You can’t stop hair falling out, picking it off you or just falling naturally on to the train. I also pick hairs off me on trains it’s just a natural reflux lol She’s ridiculous

I’ve been told off about this! It would bother me far more to see a hair stuck to someone than to see someone drop a hair to the floor!

As someone with a massive, massive phobia of other people’s stray hairs - i think she was wildly overreacting.

Unless you dropped it so close it went onto her shoe or or blew onto her clothes or something, in that case she would have every right to go mental at you 🤢

To remove 1 single hair? How strange. If the hair had just fallen directly from OP's head to the floor would that also have been disgusting? Is it the fact that it had a little stay on their clothes first that makes it so? Or that she touched it with her fingers? If she had picked it off her clothes and put it in a Tesco Bag for Life (or scalp scabs apparently) would that have been grim or better? Should she have left it on her clothes all day or could she remove it in the privacy of, say, a toilet cubicle and put it in a bin there?

YANBU. She was weird.

And if you moved a certain way it might fall onto the floor itself anyway. brushing your hair would be disgusting but personally I have a lot of hair and it falls all over the place, not much you can do about that.

🤢PUBIC TRANSPORT

Sorry I think it is disgusting to do that on public transport.

How odd that they were observing you that closely, it was one hair!?
If you were brushing and styling the hair and shedding all over the place then it's a big no.
But if it was a crumb or a piece of lint, would they have moaned about that as well?
It's not like a train carriage is expected to be as sanitary as a flipping operating theatre!

I was at a theme park at the weekend and witnessed a young lad in the queue knuckle deep in his nostril, struck gold, then ate it.

Bonkers. Do you go outside much?

She's lucky that's all you were doing. I see people (usually men) pick their nose and eat it regularly on the tube. Even seen some people eat their ear wax, seriously what is wrong with people? 🤮

Do you just walk about hairy?
My cat leaves hair on my clothes and I can brush them off with a roller and low and behold I'm sat there and I see a hair ... its seriously not the end of the road to pick it off... what is the answer? Eat it? Leave it? Put in my pocket for later, for the bloody thing to reappear on my jacket. 😂

Of cours NBU, some people are crazy. I bet she wouldn’t have said anything if you were a muscular guy.

You'd be sick if someone removed a hair from their clothing? Really?

It may have been an over the top response, but you could have acknowledged it and apologised.

There is much worse behaviour on public transport and indeed that and smelly people are one of the reasons why it is difficult to increase usage, though that is no defence.

I'd be physically sick over you if you did that near me. Totally disgusting 🤢

A hair is nothing, this passenger was OTT.
I was reading the TripAdvisor reviews for a local pub the other day, and someone had quoted "Do not visit this pub, my foot stuck to the floor due to the beer and urine on the floor". Nice.

Wow. I would be inclined to say, "would you mind keeping your nose out of other people's business?" Who says it was your your hair and not someone elses! Cheeky fucking nosey parker

She should be more concerned about what other parts of humans or human fluids are on the train, think a hair is the least of her worries if she knew what was really on train floors. She was being over the top, don't worry yourself over it
