To be disgusted by this?

[WingsofNylon]

I'm on a crowded train. The woman sitting next to me has spent the last 10 minutes plucking her eyebrows. We are talking about a full on reshape! I really don't think that's something you should do in close proximity to a stranger. Can I tell her to stop?

I wouldn't be bothered about an electric shaver, to be honest, I'd be fascinated about the faces he'd make, and also point out if he missed a spot (it would grind on my nerves if I had to sit next to him and see this missed spot on his face for the whole ride!)

I don't drive so use public transport. Happily there is a train station a couple of minutes down the road, so I use that.

However, the other day I caught the bus home. I am not a hand-sanitisor (sp) but I felt grubby. I need to get over myself as the bus is cheaper than the train.

I would be at any hair removal on either trains or buses .

What if the train jolted? She could lose an eye.

I wonder if thoes of you who don't mind would feel the same if it was a man using an electric shaver for his chin?

Of course I wouldn't mind

It wouldn't bother me at all

Live and let live!

When why and how did hair become dirty?

I think it all depends on where the hairs went

Our local gym has a permanent fancy metallic sign up outside the steam room asking people not to shave in it. This suggests to me that it occurred on a regular enough basis that a laminated sheet would not suffice. It's a really nice upmarket place. Boak!!

I saw someone flossing on Tottenham Court Road.
Walking and flossing.

Thank you, OP. I must remember to cut my fingernails tonight.

What your co-passenger did was naff IMO. Only common people do that and, as for 'common', I'd apply that description to those who go out with hair still wet after washing it.

I go out with my hair wet.... It's not always dry when I do the school run, or when I want to go out in general nor do I care that much...

I rarely use a hair dryer so I go out with wet hair all the time.

If I saw someone plucking their eyebrows on public transport I think my first thought would be amazement at their skill!

Although once I was sat near a woman on the tube who was filing her nails. The noise was driving me insane so I kept giving her evils to try and make it stop but it went on for the entire 20 minute journey!

I don't think it's disgusting when you consider how many long head hairs we all shed each day. Little tiny eye brow hair not an issue in comparison.

Or maybe, people who's hair looks lovely when left to dry naturally and they don't have 2 hours to kill sitting around letting it dry at home?

Yes, but when they are plucked they have the tiny little root bulbs and stick everywhere.

Disgusting.

That is one of the personal grooming jobs you just don't do in public space.

I thought when hair falls out on its own, the root falls out too...

Frankly I'd rather eyebrow plucking woman to the foot tapper that sat next to me for the hour and fifteen minute commute yesterday morning. Stabby rage.

Ffs, it looks as if no-one has a minute to themselves for personal stuff. At least she wasn't barking into her phone. I'm going to invent a 'personal tent' that can be velcro'd around you,so that you can groom yourself on your 2 hour train commute

Not really Mama, mostly it just breaks off.

Huh. I always thought that the root falls out too as a new root grows in. Learn something new everyday as they as they say.

Think there are far worse things to be honest..... X
