Filing your nails on a train is grim

[21daysofsummer]

Keep your personal hygiene practices to yourself, Seat 34 Coach A!

She’s really going for it 🤮

AIBU?

Can't get excited about it. I did see a girl plucking her moustache on a train though and thought that was a bit random.

Really wouldn't care

Gross!

I had someone sitting next to me on the train today, picking his nose and then extensively admiring the ‘harvest’.

Some people are simply disgusting in their behaviour.

Oh it is grim! The filings go everywhere!

I once saw Eddie Izzard doing it, put me right off him.

Agreed it is grim. I once saw someone cut their nails in public.

Rather that than someone picking the skin off their bare feet which they then put on the seat.

Also those without handkerchiefs who smear their phlegm onto bus seats after coughing their guts up.

I dont like it either! Leaving nail dust behind

I saw a bloke clipping his fingernails on a London bus, deliberately let them drop on the floor one by one, gross.

Nope. Can’t bring myself to give a fuck about this. Anymore I could someone brushing their hair in public.

^anymore than

A few.weeks ago i saw a woman filing the hard skin off her husband's feet in the middle of Heathrow airport. Grim.

I have real Problems - couldn’t get worked up about this. Maybe the person didn’t have time. Maybe this maybe that.

Vile.

I've seen a man trim his beard on the tube. Some people are weird.

Loving the voting 35 of you are utter mingers 😂

I really wouldn't give a shit if I saw this.

I did this on the train yesterday as I didn't have time beforehand.

I did it hidden with my back turned to the aisle and as quick as possibly as in the back of my mind I wondered if there would be someone on Mumsnet judging me.

I could have been late. But then that would have been a different AIBU about late people.

@BlueJava now that is gross!!!
Filing nails wouldn't bother me tho it's just dust.

It’s just dust. I don’t see why it’s a big deal.

Finger nails = fine/YABU

Toe nails = notfine/YANBU

This thread reminds me about the time I was invited round to a previous boyfriends house for some food. Informal. Food served on a lap tray on sofa in front of the telly box in the lounge.

Cue his mother starts filing her leathery trotters and clipping gnarled thick toe nails. I could hear them pinging around the room and one bounced off my tray 🤢🤮🤢

Call me minging if you like, but if my nail breaks then I use an emery board , because I do not want it to snag on clothes ,or my psoriasis. I put a tissue on my knee in public and use hand sanitizer.
That said you probably wouldn't sit beside the Iikes of me as bits of my psoriasis fall off, which it does , and it is worse than nail filings .

It's repulsive behaviour, and so uncouth. YANBU.

I file my nails on the tube sometimes. In emergencies. I actually don't think it's that rude - compared to everything else I see people doing......

And I'm always looking for people who need me to offer them my seat and/or need help with bags/prams. So I've decided my nail filing is ok, on balance

Haven't voted. Is filing nails worse than picking nose or eating smelly food or drinking coffee (hate smell) or listening to loud music (although wearing earphones) or talking loudly on mobile or clearing out handbag and stuffing rubbish down side of chair?

There are much worse things she could be doing.
