Today, I have had enough of the scroaty, dirty, common skanks.

I have seen people spitting, a grown man pick his scab off his arm and throw it on the floor on the bus (making me heave just thinking about it), a man on a different bus clipping his nails and letting the clippings fall on the floor of the bus and now while i'm in the library, a young man is sat biting his nails and spitting them out all over the desk and the computer...bleurgh!!!

Why do people have to be so disgusting? [confusing]

I used to travel on the tube and watch grown men in suits wipe the contents of their noses on the hold rails.

No fucking shame

DarrellRivers · 05/08/2010 17:53

Scabs don't bother me
But nail clippings do
[wonders why]

Marjee · 05/08/2010 17:58

Urgh! I was stuck in traffic for 10 minutes yesterday, a man in the next lane had his finger up his nose the whole time!

GetOrfMoiLand · 05/08/2010 17:59

lol at Darrell's musings on life

Dirty sods.

This thread will be FULL later of the most disgusting public transport tales (there was a similar thread a couple of months back which was truly grim)

Ah Marjee, sorry, that weould have been Mr Bathsheba

DarrellRivers · 05/08/2010 18:01

But I do detest spitting the most

AbsOfCroissant · 05/08/2010 18:03

Oh yes, spitting. I heard a suggestion once that people who spit should be made to lick it up [slams gavel]

I saw a man doing it this morning, and gave him a VERY dirty look. I hope he felt very ashamed if he noticed

menaceandmayhem · 05/08/2010 18:04

vom

The one thing I will actively boak at is when people blow the contents of their nose out by closing one nostril and blowing. Making me gag just thinking about it.

southeastastra · 05/08/2010 18:05

i saw an old bloke spit into the flowers outside work i gave him a right look

Gigantaur · 05/08/2010 18:07

well my DD attends the school with the world s worst playground behaviours. honest it was judged by MN (remember the hammer across another mums head anyone?)

Well i have had to make a couple of formal complaints about mums swearing across the playground to their children smacking them in the playground.

another woman spits constantly, and always just at the bottom of the reception area slide. so some poor child, presumably my DD, will slide down and land in a puddle of her saliva.

Some people really are too vile for words.

Numberfour · 05/08/2010 18:08

YADefNBU. Those things you mentioned are disgusting! and unnecessary to undertake in public!

It was really funny one day when my DS aged 5 saw a man picking his nose while driving his car. We both turned around to look at the man and laugh!!! (No, I was not driving!) Gross!

ItsGraceActually · 05/08/2010 18:09

Does anyone remember the TV experiment about Brits being too timid to say anything? In one of the tests, they put a guy with dirty feet on an intercity train. He took his socks & shoes off, plonked stinky appendages on the table & proceeded to pick at his callouses Only one person told him off.

Why have so many adults still not learned how to use cutlery without poking their elbows out?

And how come the person who goes off on one about my smoking is always the person who makes troughing noises when they eat & drink??

Doodleydoo · 05/08/2010 18:15

Whistling people - really pisses me off I don't know why but NO ffs not in public you annoying c*.

Oh and as far as skanks go, people just chucking things on the ground, one bloke was standing BY THE FUCKING BIN and still threw it on the ground.

SloanyPony · 05/08/2010 18:18

I was on a tube and a (slightly drunken) woman was with her group of friends. She needed to fart, but instead of just farting, she borrowed a wad of tissues from her friends and wedged them in between her butt cheeks.

She then farted, it made a really wet sound, as if it were running down her legs.

She then pulled the tissues out and they were bright orange. Turns out she was on some kind of diet pills that made her not absorb fats or something and that was the fat from her food oozing out of her bum.

She asked her friend if she wanted to smell it, her friend declined, she then shoved it in her handbag, not wrapped or anything.

Even her friends looked disgusted.

Ok. Beat that.

ItsGraceActually · 05/08/2010 18:20

Men pissing in doorways. Yes, I am a bit jealous that they can - but couldn't they find a bit of earth to pee on, or a drain?

Doyouthinktheysaurus · 05/08/2010 18:20

I'm a jogger runner and the amount of runners you see spitting or blowing their nose by closing one nostril is disgusting.

I always have a tissue in my hand when I run as it makes my nose run, I don't know why people have to be so disgusting.

I have been known to use my sleeve before now when my tissue has disintegrated but only when no one can see

SloanyPony · 05/08/2010 18:22

And I was stone. cold. sober.

I just sat there a bit inside...

SloanyPony · 05/08/2010 18:23

Sorry that was meant to read "I just sat there and died a bit inside"...

Numberfour · 05/08/2010 18:23

Sloany:THAT IS FUCKING DISGUSTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AhickeyfromKenickie · 05/08/2010 18:23

I have seen a woman masturbating on a train, not drunk, off on night out with male and female friends, just rubbing away while her friends laughed.
And once at a bus stop, a man sat down next to me and rolled up his trouser leg to show me his black, bruised, scabby weeping leg sores (from ankle and knee) and asked me if I thought he should go to the doctor's about it.
Bleugh, bleugh, bleauuuuuuugh x1,000

ItsGraceActually · 05/08/2010 18:24

" ... when I run as it makes my nose run"
This just cracked me up! Have an image of your little nose going for a jog on its own.

pjmama · 05/08/2010 18:26

Sloany that is absolutely the most vile thing I've ever heard in my whole life?!! [shocked]
