Aibu or not? Is it just me? Can he not wait?

Yeah but Singapore is a brutal repressive and backward society @IceniSky so I’d take the smell of chilli over not being allowed to think what I want and live in fear

I was sat on a little bus with someone hamming into a sweet and sour. It honked.

The woman I’m front of me popped off half a can of neutrodol from her shopping in protest.

I would ban hot food on public transport - and air freshener Grin

Food does stink a bit on public transport but then again, so do a lot of people.

It's something you have to get used to.

Because Singapore is somewhere we should aspire to?
Wow.

I suspect he was, you know, hungry.

Maybe he lives on public transport and you were actually sitting in his dining room.

Dont mind the smell of food on public transport - its nail varnish I cant stand. Why do people do that?*!

georgialondon · 11/02/2020 23:07

Woman opposite me on the tube was plucking her eyebrows and chin.. nasty piece of work.

When it comes to tube travel? Yes indeed. They have some good ideas. Not sure I mentioned not being allowed to not think or voice your view and how we also need to oppress our citizens? Bit of a leap there! I guess you have a career in journalism!

MN is so weird. \i don't know anyone in real life who is offended by the smell of food (you know, the stuff we all eat numerous times every day of our lives)

Fleetheart · 12/02/2020 08:18

Completely with you OP, bad manners to eat on tube in my book. It’s a) stinky and b) the fact that you are generally sitting facing people. I understand there a thousand reasons why people may be very hungry but Not On The Tube!

Fleetheart · 12/02/2020 08:20

Whether we want to live in Singapore or not, you can’t deny that a lot of their public rules are helpful- is no chewing gum, no back packs on the tube and offering seats. It would be nice if people here had that consideration for others without the need for rules.

People have no shame and are increasingly using public transport as an extension of their home to save time. It’s awful! I know I’m in the minority but I don’t particularly want to see a woman doing her make up either on the train, just as I wouldn’t like to see a man shaving!
