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

[sprigatito]

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.

On commuter trains food should be banned, full stop. You can't restrain yourself from shoving something in your gob for half an hour. Ffs.

Also see cinemas. Popcorn is repulsive, and I stopped going when our local cinema started serving nachos.

I was on a Park & Ride bus yesterday and was sat on the back seat. The person sat next to me thought it was acceptable to choke everyone in the vicinity by spraying herself with body spray.

Cooked fried chicken (from a paper box) on a crowded train. I don't think I've felt so ill.

I like a tuna sandwich but I'd hesitate to eat one on the train.

A lot of people somehow make their mouths into an echoing cavern which they bring down to bear on the crisp as they eat them. I don’t know how to explain it, but there’s something about the gusto with which the crisp is approached that makes it more than just the sound of something crunchy being eaten.

Being on a train amplifies the effect further

I know that. The rushing sound, or intake of air, as the crisp, or item of food approaches the mouth!

If you have a long journey on public transport that you know will carry you over a mealtime you should use the opportunity to reap the health benefits of fasting. Win win. You get the health benefits and also know that you are not inflicting your disgusting eating on others. Because whatever you eat, your slurping, lip smacking, chewing is repulsive. If I had my way, eating would be done in private, much like taking a shit.
Yes, I am sware that I am repulsed by humanity at the moment.

And burgers. The smell of melting animal fat mixed with eau de sweaty commuter knocks me sick. And any bastard chomping any flavour of crisps or other crunchy snack can also get to fucking fucking

My neighbour called to ask me to keep an eye on her house while she was away. We got chatting about flights, and she told me that she'd made egg sandwiches for all of the family to eat on board. It was a 6am flight too. I bet everyone on board HATED them.

Oooh you can't beat a good egg butty! 😂

Recently on a flight to Dublin the gym bro in front of me opened a container of his own food he had with him.

Cauliflower curry.

No one needs to eat on public transport, except small children or perhaps if you're on a sleeper train.

I'll raise you scampi flavour NickNacks. Not sure if they still make them but they absolutely honked

I once watched fascinated as a young woman standing up on the tube ate a box of sushi with chopsticks incredibly neatly - I wasn't a fan of the smell but very impressed by her steadiness

Rancid cunt! 😂 Sorry @sprigatito but that made me LOL!

Me and the kids were on a train once when some 'rancid cunt' pulled an egg sandwich out. The whole carriage stunk like rotten farts. Luckily it was a pretty empty train so we had the luxury of moving carriages!

To open an egg sandwich in a packed, hot train is really quite cunty!

YANBU! 😆

You don't know that. Often it's the only time that they're sitting down/not working during the day. I used to travel to London to visit clients. I'd leave home at 6 am, be out 12-14 hours and spend my time on various modes of public transport, then walking between sites that I visited. The only time I had to eat was while I was on the tube/train.

I'm not waiting until I get home or taking even more time out of a long day because some people can't cope with the occasional whiff of a sandwich.

Sorry OP that’s shit but your post really made me laugh 🤣

Think I can beat the egg sandwich. I was once crushed beside a family shelling prawns and eating them. A good 20 minutes it went on😤

I totally agree. I had similar yesterday, guy sat opposite me on train chowing down on some pungent pasta concoction. Once he'd finished that, he moved on to dry roasted peanuts which he masticated with such vigour it sounded like he was chewing
gravel. I literally wanted to kill him but had to content myself with giving him evils and moving. Peasant!

YANBU.

I personally don’t understand anyone who eats eggs when they smell so vile.
I get preference etc but eggs have to be the no 1 anti social horrible smelling food. People who eat them on trains have zero self awareness
A women at my work started everyone’s day by microwaving scrambled eggs- absolutely stinks the place out.

New member of staff microwaved an incredibly stinky spicy fish dish in the staff room...which is next to the clinic rooms which stunk mightily all afternoon. .management removed the microwave and all of us have to eat cold food at lunchtime now.

Yes to it all, vile. I can't bear airplane food smells. At some ungodly hour they wheel out the bacon sandwiches or even worse the hot dinners. The smell is just vile. I have misophonia so I am extra intolerant of vile eating noises. Slurping,crunching,gulping uuuurgh. Eggs should be banned and fish curry that's hellish!!

FISH CURRY?! What fresh hell is this?! 😣

I was once on a long-haul flight and the airline served kippers for breakfast.

McDonalds and the like on a crowded train is the worst for me. But I’m sure the egg sandwich smell is horrible!

I once sat opposite a man eating a burger, the smell was not so bad BUT the he was dropping bits of coleslaw on himself as he bit it and had secret sauce all round his mouth. Worse, he made a low level yumyumyum sound the entire time. Yack.

The absolute worst though was the couple clearly in the early stages of a relationship. Smooching away with loud slurpy noises - at 7.30 on a packed commuter train. Bleh.
