Eating egg sandwiches on a crowded train should be a criminal offence!

FFS we're crammed like sardines into a hermetically sealed tube with no air flow, it's hotter than hell, there's a child WHISTLING while the parents smile indulgently - that's been going on for a good 20 minutes - the "trolley service of drinks and light refreshments" has run out of coffee, and now some rancid cunt has opened an egg sandwich and the whole place stinks like a festival toilet. I hate travelling in this country. Hate it.

Ooh I do rather fancy an egg sandwich now you mention it. That's lunch sorted.
ETA: I'm not on a train though!

FrenchandSaunders · 29/09/2023 12:24

shop ones don't seem to smell like home made ones though. I've never found out why.

Needmorelego · 29/09/2023 12:24

Yes it should.
And Tuna.
I f-ing hate the smell of tuna.

Egg sandwiches are vile under any circumstances and unforgivable on public transport. YANBU! 🤢

I’ll raise you ‘eating a greasy doner kebab on a packed tube in a heatwave’. Yes, someone really did do this. People were far too polite to say anything, but I was quietly heaving and seething in a corner.

Yanbu!

I was once on a very crowded tube on my way home from work when a family with a load of small children all got on holding/waving dripping 99 ice creams around. This was back in the day of wearing expensive suits to the office. They did well, everyone edged away from them in the most British way possible.

ShutTheDoorBabe · 29/09/2023 12:32

I accidentally made egg mayo this morning so will put it in a sandwich later on. I promise I won't go anywhere near a train though, and living in Yorkshire, I'm nowhere near the underground!

Heinous crime. I was once stuck on a plane between a guy eating KFC and a woman eating some kind of spicy fish.

I will grudgingly admit that that is equally as foul a stench as riffy egg 🤢

The kid is still whistling. Now his sister is crying because she can't whistle. And they've run out of Diet Coke as well.

There must be an app you can download, and add your concert of the worst possible farts to the chaos.

Hate the smell of egg

Does smell lavatorial

Mariposista · 29/09/2023 13:10

Ugh, smelly and/or noisy food has no place on public transport.
I was once next to someone who are a whole bag of shelled sunflower seeds. The noise made me want to strangle her. And don't get me started on the family size bag of Doritos girl.

Freezingcoldinseptember · 29/09/2023 13:19

Give me egg sandwiches over dc whistling /crying /singing anytime.

RaraRachael · 29/09/2023 13:26

Egg sandwiches are an abomination and should be banned completely. For some reason they were always the sandwich of choice on school trips and the whole bus absolutely stank.

Fizbosshoes · 29/09/2023 13:31

I sat next to someone who put down some kitchen roll and after eating, starting flossing their teeth after eating!!😳

Sparklesocks · 29/09/2023 13:32

Grim!

Helenahandkart · 29/09/2023 13:32

Also bananas.

dimsumfatsum · 29/09/2023 13:34

Mmmmmm, I fancy an egg mayo sandwich now!

A woman on a train ate an entire rotisserie chicken next to me once, pulling it apart and licking the bones. Absolutely revolting.

countvoncount · 29/09/2023 13:43

I agree, it should be a criminal offence. I once experienced a woman say next to me on the 07.06 from Liverpool to Leeds eating leftover Indian curry.
Cold Indian curry first thing in the morning, I was queasy all day.

dh made egg sandwiches for his work packed lunch once, I was horrified and almost left him when I opened the kids lunch boxes. Apparently we had lots of eggs! I don’t know who brought him up.
