...and flossing your teeth on the tube is one of them?

FrozenMargarita17 · 09/05/2018 23:20

There was a woman spitting seeds once on a bus. I moved !

Mamabear1475 · 09/05/2018 23:23

I once saw a woman straightening her hair on the train. It seems nothing compared to some of the rot bags you have all seen

pieceofpurplesky · 09/05/2018 23:24

A man was once masturbating behind a newspaper on the last tube years ago. There were about six people in the carriage. Nobody said a thing.

Once on a train in Valencia with my son and three of his 13/24 year old friends and two very attractive young women were making out. A lot. Right opposite them. Poor boys didn't know where to look directly at them!

Naildust is disgusting ?
people who carry emery boards in their bags, when/where do you use them?

PlainWhiteTee · 09/05/2018 23:28

I might win this one, in the worst possible way unfortunately...

On a train one night about 9pm in winter, only me in the carriage, a guy gets on and sits across the aisle from me. I've got a hat on and my head in a book but become aware of lots of movement, keys and change jangling etc. I keep reading, then couple of minutes later glanced across and the guy had the sleeve up, and rubber band thing around his arm and was injecting himself.

I got off at the next station and reported him to the station staff and they arranged for BTP to meet the train further up. It was awful.

@ Queenoftheblitz seriously! that's fucking disgusting i woulda said do you want a tissue love!

The worst I had was on a boiling hot summer's day on the central line it was literally jam packed and this woman lifted her arm to hold onto the bar and she was wearing a vest top and i swear to god it was like a forest under her arm dirty bitch there is no excuse for hairy pits specially on a hot summer's day!

The worst one happened to a friend of mine, she was coming home late and some guy got on said excuse me to her and then opened his coat and flashed her at her! dirty creep

MotherofDinosaurs · 09/05/2018 23:32

Battleax sorry, am a bit pissed

But where I think I stand is:
Make up: fine
Discreet filing/flossing/clipping more or less fine as long as no detritus flung about
Wanking/nose picking: not fine

StealthPolarBear · 09/05/2018 23:33

Do you feel the same about men's hairy pits?

Battleax · 09/05/2018 23:33

How do you floss discreetly?

Not been on MN for long, I take it?

FYI, we don't call anyone 'dirty bitches' for not shaving. They should have taught you that on your first day.

PickAChew · 09/05/2018 23:38

Ugh.

I was expecting a mention of spraying body spray because that stuff iscrank and makes me cough my gutcup, but these are disgusting.

A guy got removed from a metro I caught a few weeks ago for smoking spice. The driver explained the delay and hoped that we hadn't all been turned into zombies by the fumes!

boywiththebrokensmile2 · 09/05/2018 23:39

''I was on a bus in south London where a man whipped off his shoes and socks and clipped his toenails. Nobody even batted an eyelid grin''

considering i have seen people on buses smoke heroin it is hardly a big deal, alot of people on buses are stoners and under the influence of something in my experience. They'd hardly notice.

Ariesgirl1988 · 09/05/2018 23:40

@StealthPolarBear I bloody well do feel the same about men's pits and dnt get me started on back hair! I'm sorry but there is no excuse for having a forest on your pits male or female lol

And another place I hate to go to is the apple store its a germ paradise why would anyone wanna touch the iPads and iPhones on display you don't know how many dirty hands have touched them!

PickAChew · 09/05/2018 23:41

Love that hairy armpits are only second in line behind flashing

The only hairy armpits I've taken exception to are ones that stink and I'd feel the same about shaven stinky pits.

StealthPolarBear · 09/05/2018 23:43

Good to hear aries :)

Ariesgirl1988 · 09/05/2018 23:44

@SeriouslyBanana believe me if you had seen that you wouldn't be lecturing me it was disgusting. And FYI I've seen a lot worse than the term dirty bitch used on these threads you don't like it don't read my posts simple enough

banjaxedeejit · 09/05/2018 23:47

Not on public transport but I once saw a guy do a shit in a phone box.

StaplesCorner · 09/05/2018 23:54

So you know all those times when you don't want your kids to go out on their own on public transport (or use phone boxes) in case they meet weirdos, and everyone goes "oh no they'll be fine" ....

Ariesgirl1988 · 09/05/2018 23:56

@StealthPolarBear I don't discriminate due to gender if there's too much hair get rid or keep it well groomed :D

@PickAChew Trust me these pits were stinky I had to stand next to her and the whole journey I held onto that bar like lifebelt praying I didn't get shoved into her and the flashing well my friend thankfully was ok she wasn't shaken she just laughed at the guy and said he was a sad man but she did report him anyway

LanaorAna2 · 09/05/2018 23:57

i have seen people on buses smoke heroin it is hardly a big deal, a lot of people on buses are stoners - I daresay some passengers may indulge too.

South London bus veteran here.

Whitesea · 09/05/2018 23:58

I file my nails (gently ie not a full blown manicure on long train journeys. I actually make a point of doing it then as its guaranteed uninterrupted time. I didn't realise it would freak people out. Loads of people file and apply nail varnish on the trains, lots of drying time!

OnTheList · 09/05/2018 23:59

Never ever seen anything like any of these, luckily.

Worst I have seen is a guy sitting picking his nose and eating it, one of the bogeys must not have looked appetizing enough so he wiped it on the seat next to him

katzensocken · 10/05/2018 02:16

Nail polish - living in Germany, I was on the way back from Dusseldorf after a day out shopping and just wanted to chill out on the train, another girl in the carriage and she did took out the whole base coat, colour and top coat and slowly applied it all. The train journey was not that smooth either! I love doing my makeup and nails but I don't use strong smelling ones anymore because the smell just makes me woozy. Couldn't open windows on the train and she was doing it for about twenty minutes (plus obviously the smell lingered), my ride was about an hour long. Other makeup stuff I don't mind, each to their own as long as they don't have a whole vanity case out in people's way. Except spraying deodorant or perfume. The worst.

claraschu · 10/05/2018 02:40

I get a terrible headache from nail polish fumes. I am sure they are pretty toxic.

Cellardoor23 · 10/05/2018 03:29

I witnessed a mother change her approx 8mo baby's stinking shitty nappy on the bus. Got off maybe 30 seconds after she finished and walked straight into a McDonald's who 10000% had baby changing. Dirty bitchenvy

Did she take the dirty nappy with her? If she didn't, then that would be a completely different aibu entirely.
