Just sat on a full commuter train home next to a woman filing her claws away, flakes falling everywhere... Halloween Envy the handrail is stuck in my opposite side as I try to get away from it, but she's not taking the hint!!!

Got 50 minutes to go yet, please distract me with your stories of co-commuters you wanted to chuck out the window!

I once sat next to a lady flossing her teeth on the tube.

Only for one stop though - I switched carriage.

Could be worse. I've been on public transport with chickens in Greece!

DrVonPatak · 28/10/2019 17:17

I wish, the train is choked full... I know I'm annoying people by being half in the aisle, but this is so gross!

Sniffing, snorting phlegm, chewing gum, eating anything noisy.

DrVonPatak · 28/10/2019 17:18

Well, if I was in Greece, I'd be on vacation, in vacation clothes, not my work best. This is just too much on a first working day after clock change!

Smelly people

DrVonPatak · 28/10/2019 17:28

OMFG, she just took her shoes off and started messing with her toenails!

I moved, I don't care if I must stand for the rest of the trip, she's making me sick!

Applying a full face of make up. A touch up is acceptable but not the full works!
Watching/listening to things on tablets or phones without headphones.
Loud and lengthy phone conversations.
Filing nails is not on either-a quick file if one is raggedy is ok. Definitely not toes!!!

Vulpine · 28/10/2019 17:40

People doing full make up. Electronic gadgets with no headphones

DrVonPatak · 28/10/2019 18:00

The seat next to toezilla is still conspicuously empty despite people standing around. Hmm

Farting.

Eating shell fish out of an asda carrier bag.

AntiHop · 28/10/2019 18:04

I saw someone cutting their toenails on the bus. Clipping on the floor. Fucking disgusting.

BritishHorrorStory · 28/10/2019 18:07

That was probably her plan 🤢

Justmuddlingalong · 28/10/2019 18:07

Smelly, soap dodging mingers. The ones whose boak inducing odour fills the whole bus or train carriage. And if their lack of personal hygiene isn't bad enough, some poor unsuspecting sod will sit in that seat after them. Ggrrrr.

DontCallMeShitley · 28/10/2019 18:07

Farting.

Amanduh · 28/10/2019 18:10

I never understand why people care about someone doing their makeup. Why would it bother you?
Smelly food, filing and cutting nails, dogs at rush hour!

MiniMum97 · 28/10/2019 18:17

Why do you care that someone is applying make-up? Why does it bother you?

ALongHardWinter · 28/10/2019 18:23

People shouting on their phone,or sniffing constantly.

DrVonPatak · 28/10/2019 18:30

Oh yes, the sniffers... just use a tissue already, it won't bite back!

Someone clipping their fingernails on my morning train last week! I’m just glad she didn’t take her shoes off and do her toenails

MereDintofPandiculation · 28/10/2019 18:33

People sitting in the seat I want (the high up one with the good view through the windscreen).

SeaViewBliss · 28/10/2019 18:34

Most people!

SciFiRules · 28/10/2019 18:34

Other people!

JoyceJeffries · 28/10/2019 18:34

Once sat next to someone who administered herself eye drops and then applied deodorant (the aerosol kind). Just so gross.
