....for eating my dinner! (Leon chicken satay box, not very stinky). She keeps side-eyeing me every time I take a mouthful. Am also a tweny by it tipsy after post off-site drinks. It's been a looooong day ( up v early for train to London then full day of meetings).
She's going to be even more enraged when I get the mince pie dessert out in a minute! Grin

Someone has just munched chips dipped I garlic sauce (a la kebab shop)on the train row in front of me.

I only judged them negatively because they didnt share - I'm starving!!

If it’s from Leon, it definitely smells.

Are you on a South West Train?

If so get chomping as your journey home will take 9000 years.

"tweny by it tipsy"

And you aren't drunk you say?

NearlyOutedMyself · 10/12/2019 20:18

Maybe she's just hungry herself?

chocolatesaltyballs22 · 10/12/2019 20:18

No am traveling London to Leeds on LNER

This is normal behaviour on some of the trains I take (the long distance ones) but not on others (where there are people commuting to the weird London sub-suburbia, not sure what it’s called but places like Finsbury Park and Croydon).

BeardedMum · 10/12/2019 20:19

Yes it’s annoying to eat smelly food on a train. Really anti- social.

ChristmasSpirtsOnTheRocksPleas · 10/12/2019 20:19

100% normal on the LNER trains.

katy1213 · 10/12/2019 20:19

The kind of people who eat smelly food on trains also tend to eat loudly. You are uncouth and I'm judging too.

MarshaBradyo · 10/12/2019 20:19

Not great no

AFairlyHardAvocadoHoHo · 10/12/2019 20:21

PLEASE let her be a Mumsnetter and post on this thread 🤞🏻

Sarcelle · 10/12/2019 20:22

Your dinner stinks and you are probably smacking your lips together due to your inebriated state. You've so had more than few. You are the nightmare passenger.

pasturesgreen · 10/12/2019 20:22

Not very stinky

It'll be to anyone else nearby. YABU.

HotWaterBottleAndABottleOfWine · 10/12/2019 20:23

Ah! Wish I could join you OP! Just getting indulge in your meal and drink and enjoy the trip! (She can always move seats to escape the bad breath and food smell if she isn't too keen!) Xmas SmileWine

chocolatesaltyballs22 · 10/12/2019 20:24

Well I've moved now so that she doesn't have to put up with my total disgustingness any more. Also I now have two seats to myself.

ForalltheSaints · 10/12/2019 20:24

I would judge you if you did not put the empty container and other rubbish in a bin after eating.

TheCanterburyWhales · 10/12/2019 20:24

I'd be pretty repulsed to find myself next to someone pissed and eating a takeaway on a 3-4 hour train journey tbf.
So, yes, she's judging you.
And ALL hot food smells. It's part of its job description.

messolini9 · 10/12/2019 20:24

@chocolatesaltyballs22 (nice reference there btw)

I am HEARTING your indignant pissed-pass-agg'ing here, & the link is for you :)
Also, bear in mind I won't be home til at least 10pm, so should I just starve in the meantime?! Is that what you want for me?!!

I AM NOT PISSED! Typed first post with no glasses on - that's my excuse. God some of you lot are so MISERABLE! Wink

sadeyedladyofthelowlandsea · 10/12/2019 20:27

YABU for not going first class on LNER. You get a free two course meal of your choice, and booze is included. That might have been the best journey of my life ever (and it weirdly worked out cheaper than standard class)

Why don't we have a wistful face on here?

chocolatesaltyballs22 · 10/12/2019 20:27

Haha love it @messolini9

AFairlyHardAvocadoHoHo · 10/12/2019 20:28

Blimey, have a side dish of calm down with your satay main 😂

chocolatesaltyballs22 · 10/12/2019 20:28

@sadeyedladyofthelowlandsea I'd love to but I'm not anywhere near important enough for my company to pay for first class travel for me. Tight bastards.

Op probably stinks of booze and is eating with mouth open due to drunken state and is possibly dropping food down her front - lucky commuters
