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?

My applying make up on a train had nothing to do with time management though.

I'm with Scottishmummy on this one too.

lol,is that your passive aggressive best dig and face?having exhausted all reason

Nose picking is a bit gash but putting on make up doesn't bother me.

Mind you,it's a long while since i caught a train or a bus.

VBisme,that was uncalled for,you may not agree but you don't have to be rude.

purely for saying bit gash,I agree with you
some radge is ay picking their snitch

at the bullshit superior attitudes on this thread.

I do my make up on the train/bus every day. What's to be self-conscious about? It's a face, everyone has one. And most women over 18 wear (at least some) make-up.

As for the germs etc argument, frankly most forms of public transport are significantly cleaner than our work toilets (which are always full of women putting on makeup at 8.45 every morning).

I saw someone dry shaving her pits on a Saturday night midnight train out of central London. She was very drunk and I was tipsy, so I giggled with my friends but in hindsight, it was grim!

I quite like the,is you drunk?och have no idea what you're saying sm
aye?understand enough to differentiate what you no likey in post
but not enough to put together a cogent reply. So resort to is you drunk?face

Not to stick my beak in where it's not required, but I read VB's post as referring to her own previous one, where she'd missed out a word?

Hence the

Apart from Scottish who is known for this sort of batshittery, there really are no other superior attitudes. I think people are seriously projecting some other ishoos.

I read it that way too, Noel.

lol,at dry shaving her pits.christ that a phrase I hope I never type
priceless that one can just recall it so
dry shaving...

Is it not called dry shaving?!

I read VBs post as aimed at herself too.

lol,it's just such a great recollection dry shaving

I think it's déclassé.

And a bit skanky.

VB I do appreciate that you can do what you like on your commute to work. But does that include actions which encroach on the personal space of the person sitting next to you? To the extent that you are frequently elbowing that person?

I am entitled to not like people applying make up on trains. I would never ask someone to stop. Sitting next to someone on a packed commuter train who spends well over half an hour wiping, spot checking, applying a full face and vigorously brushing very long hair was rather annoying. And so yes, I was fed up.

I accept that some think IABU, some not. Fair enough. But, I will be applying my make up, in my bathroom before I get on my 6am train.

I have seen a woman sandpapering the calluses (sp) on her hands whilst on a train. The dust (skin) was going everywhere, the train was packed and I had bags and an 8 month pregnant belly so I couldn't move away, I was just trying not to breathe I very nearly fainted.

I got off the train at the next station and stood in the snow (in flip flops bloody swollen feet) for half an hour for the next train.

It was about my post, but you're always going to upset someone on here.

Anyway, wine is gone so off to bed fir me, hopefully I'll get up early enough to put my make up on in an approved area, otherwise watch out people leaving from Heathrow in the morning!

YABU she is using a baby wipe?? they are capable of clearing my babies arse of the most horrific of "incidents" (shites that could be radioactive) so her hands will be fine.

Try rubbing a baby wipe on your jeans/dark clothes, they take the colour off!

As an aside I think that she is doing the walk of shame, otherwise why reapply?

I wouldn't put make up on sat next to anyone, I can see how that would be irritating.

But business class on a plane gives you plenty of room to spread out (and if you take a night flight they give you goodies to spread over yourself -it's be rude not to).

I've only ever seen this once (don't go on trains much) and I found it fascinating to watch her as she gurned while doing her mascara.

I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't want people looking at me doing it. It's something you do in private, isn't it? I prefer DH to think that I look this gorgeous naturally

worst i have observed was flossing teeth really gross
I expect this person thought it ok to apply in public too
being too rushed to floss. diddums
