AIBU to be fed up with make up girl on train?

[Finola1step]

I commute in and out of London daily. I am now very used to seeing women every morning applying a full face on their way to work. I don't do this myself as I like to do my prep in privacy at home.

But.. I am sat next to a young woman with a caked on face who has whipped out the baby wipes. She has wiped off all the make up (before wiping her face on her jumper the dirty moo!) and is now reapplying. The whole lot! With dirty hands! Why?

What do I not get here? Would I be unreasonable to ask her why she thinks this is ok? Am I being a judgey old cow?

Ooh was she any good at it? Could do with some make up tips.

Tip one twisttee - Wear some.

I am way too wrapped up in myself to be usually doing it as performance Eldritch, but it's true if you reapply lipstick (or even just balm) in the right way you can make a man stare at your mouth.

YABU and very nasty. Maybe she had a hot date!

It is not something I would do because there would be mascara poked up in my eyes & lipstick everywhereas I would be too self concious of th epacked carriage all staring at me & smirking.

However my two big no-no's on train:

1. the lady who clips her nails (cuttings just left to randomly sit on table or on guy opposite), then uses nail polish remover & then files nails, and finally adds base, colour x 2 & top coat ! the smell of the remover & polish- ugh

2, the people on very packed trains who keep the seat next to them with their handbag on. I was on a 2 hour trip the other week & it was crammed ... guard said their were a few seats further along in next carriage so I went ahead & one had just been taken & the other had a handbag on it. I said ever so politely to the lady next to it "can you please move your bag " she looked up from her papers, ignored me and carried on reading. So I said "excuse me - is this your bag ?" she glanced up & again went back to reading papers.

I felt a bit embarrassed but going forward addressed the 2 passengers opposite her (both women) in case it was their bag & they politley said no it wasn't. I'm not sure what then came over me but I said out loud " on dear must have been left by an earlier passenger" & I picked it up & placed it on the floor & went to sit down. At which point handbag madam shouted at me - you can't t ouch my bag!

I sat down & said "so its your bag now ? I did ask twice & as far as I'm aware I'm entitled to sit here with my valid ticket. If I have made a mistake and you have bought your bag a seat ticket for the journey then I apologise."

Unbeknown to me Ticket chap had followed into carriage & had witnessed the exchange he told miss handbagmadam that he could sell her the ticket for the seat - she declined & stormed off ......

By the way it wasn't a very nice handbag .

MadBusLady, you..you doxy, you!

Bea, is that hands or feet?

I do find this strange, if I did it, I'm sure I would feel people were judging me on my expertise! Which I will admit is limited.

On the train to London other day, a young girl applying baby oil to her face, arms and all the way up her legs, opposite DH and me. I found this hilarious and had to look away. We both did. But why oh why couldn't she have done this in her bathroom? Nearly saw her undercrackers, (well DH was looking).

Oooh, that is a totally new word on me! I will use that in a sentence this week. A carefully chosen one.

I don't get why some women put on nail varnish whilst on the train. It stinks!!

You witnessed what my DSDs would call a "scutter" applying her makeup with a trowel, I quite agree, the grubbiness is unappealing, I can only imagine the make up back. Most of us strive to avoid that look.

Had you witnessed a classy, well groomed young lady powdering her nose and using a pretty make up bag I am sure you would not be commenting.

BeaLola - just wanted to say good for you - that is one of my pet hates

Ds's pet hate is someone who sits on the isle seat, leaving the one by the window free, and spreading themselves across the spare chair so no one can sit down. He has been known to squeeze past them politely and sit down.

bag not back.
