to be annoyed at woman in front of me on train

[waitingforgodot]

Who is painting her nails. The stink is awful. Plus I have a hangover

Koala because lots of people littler and wouldn't throw it away. If it were disposed of correctly, then I suppose it wouldn't.

I do find this prudish attitude amusing - skin sheds all the time, hair falls out all the time, we are all sharing each other's germs anyway. I can't bring myself to get worked up about something so...inoffensive

My parents and grandparents generation all thought that any personal grooming done in public was vulgar.

It stinks I agree. We stayed in a Travelodge once for a wedding. At breakfast the next day a woman was doing her nails at the next table. The waitress asked her to stop and she was most put out.

Brushing hair isn't nice because you are flicking stray hairs all over the place, I think.

Other makeup doesn't bug me. Though I did see a woman recently who plucked her eyebrows all over her seat, and that was pretty unpleasant.

I think anything that causes you to smell or shed in public, isn't ok.

I always have a small brush in my handbag and often give my hair a (very quick) brush in public. My hair isn't very long but is fine and tangles easily, if I didn't I would look like I had been dragged through a hedge backwards.

Nail polish fumes are a headache trigger for me, and sometimes migraine. I'd be pretty pissed off I'd bagged a table and someone got their nail kit out and started all that! I'd have to ask them to refrain or move.

I saw a woman plucking hairs out of her chin with tweezers on a train platform a little while ago. She didn't even need a mirror, the hairs were so bad. Boak.

When I go out with a group of friends there are at least 2 who will wait til they are out to paint their nails.

I think it's attention seeking behaviour as there always has to be a 'oo, that's a nice colour' etc conversation.

I have no nails. Really short because the feel of nails catching on anything goes right through me and I play the piano as part of my job and don't want them catching on the keys. So I can't really say anythng as it might be construed that I am jealous of their long nails.

I wouldn't do nails in public cos I know that it can trigger asthma badly

I do my make up on the tube almost every day (well, some of it... eye make up I do at home) but I would draw the line at nail varnish!

Cats, I don't think it's prudish at all. Consideration for other people is just good manners. 'The whole world is not my living room', kind of thing.

I don't think it's old-fashioned, either. My teenage nieces know not to groom themselves on a bus.
