Just sit elsewhere

Coat/jumper over nose and mouth. Breathe through mouth. Retch ominously and see if he moves.

FoxSticks · 07/12/2016 23:33

How can it be rimmed at this time of night?

FoxSticks · 07/12/2016 23:33

Rammed!!! The shame.

BikeRunSki · 07/12/2016 23:35

Maybe the OP is not in the UK fox

DillDongMerrilyOnHigh · 07/12/2016 23:36

Rimmed! Grin

Op, breathe through your mouth (don't think about the stink particles).

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 07/12/2016 23:38

Fox - lots of trains are packed at this time of night.

saltandvinegarcrisps1 · 07/12/2016 23:38

YANBU. I am amazed sometimes at how much younger (than me) people stink. I've had students who have stank soooo bad I want to throw up. No lack of hot water could cause this

I'd move closer to the doors as the train approaches it's next stop at least you can get a bit of fresh air.

A few weeks ago I got on a crowded tram on which a woman was eating - I shit you not - a packet of smoked mackerel fillets.

WHY WOULD ANYONE DO THIS ON A TRAM?? I don't mind mackerel but the entire carriage reeked of it.

heebiejeebie · 07/12/2016 23:45

Ha! I thought I'd clicked on the thread above yours 'AIBU to talk to my child'. I thought you were quite harsh.

ItShouldHaveBeenJingleJess · 07/12/2016 23:53

fox. Grin

I often find public transport even more whiffs in the winter - as there are less windows open.
It's the smell of unwashed clothes that gets me, the smell of sweat and dirt in clothes that must be weeks or months old.

PickledCauliflower · 08/12/2016 00:09

"Even more whiffy" that should say...

LemonsDrizzled · 08/12/2016 00:09

Sitting

PickledCauliflower · 08/12/2016 00:14

I was on a train from Manchester to Newcastle a few weeks back. It was very busy - so I had to sit on a table with three people already seated.
One of the passengers practically laid out a buffet for himself on the table.
Sliced ham, a bag of tomatoes, a crusty loaf and houmous. He was munching away on this for around 40 minutes, the table was full of his buffet.
I felt like I was intruding on his meal 😳

Don't know where the op is, but late trains out of London in the evening are often packed.

I was coming out of London, late trains are always packed.

Sounds like people have had worse experiences than me. I'm literally sick of people's lack of hygiene these days!

I wouldn't have suggested rimming really but it might have made him move

toffee1000 · 08/12/2016 16:37

Jesus Soubriquet now I've got a hideous image in my head.
Barf.

Fruitcocktail6 · 08/12/2016 16:54

I'm sat on the train.

There's a drunk man wandering up and down shouting about Liverpool football club (he likes them, apparently)
