Acceptable to give yourself a pedicure on the train?

[washingsomuchwashing]

Anyone else find this absolutely revolting? We're not talking just a polish.

So what were they doing?

Hell no. Disgusting, disrespectful, entitled behaviour.

No!

Hahaha! No 😂

Trimming cuticles, exfoilating, polish. I'm revolted.

Ew. No

Rooting out the toe cheese?

Anyone who removes their footwear on any sort of public transport should be first against the wall when the revolution comes.

I might have painted my toenails on a train while wearing open toed shoes when I was in my 20s and going on a night out! Sanding down the dead skin for others to see and breathe in is too much even for me though!!!

And then dusting off her legs... urgh!

So what did you say to this revolting specimen?

I was once on a tube train and a woman started to do her nails. I said “you’re JOKING” very loudly in her direction. I also told a woman off for doing the same on a bus.

Call it out.

I was toying with saying something as I get off. Maybe she'll think again next time. I asked someone to put headphones the other day and it worked.

How revolting

Yuk

In China years ago the man on the bus next to me took off his shoes and got the filth out from under his toenails with a tooth pick.
He then ate dried chicken feet from a plastic bag.

I am not making this up.

You are my hero. I simply fumed yesterday when someone had an out loud FaceTime call with their mother at a quite smart Mayfair restaurant yesterday.

A few years ago, I was on a train in Paris when a woman pulled out nail clippers and started trimming her children's fingernails onto the floor of the carriage.

I didn't say anything (combination of me being young and shy, and not being fluent in the language) but I've never forgotten

I was thinking about saying something calmly as I got off. As she was brushing off her legs one two many times, I snapped and told her she was being revolting.

"Revolting" is the perfect choice of word. Says a lot, very succinctly.

What was her response?

I'd start faux vomiting in her direction or start a conversation on your phone with yourself 'Hi Julie, yes, I'm nearly there. Can you believe there is a minging woman on here giving herself a pedicure. Yes I know its revolting....' 🤢

She said I was talking on my phone (I was, quietly, and it's not a quiet carriage.) I reiterated that cleaning feet is a revolting thing to do in public. I said that bit loudly so the whole carriage could hear. I'm quite patient until I get pushed too far.

Ugh nasty. I'd have had to move. Can't stand feet at best ofvtimes

The woman behind me just pulled the window blind down and struck me on the head.
Can we swap?

Nothing’s private anymore is it. It’ll be someone waxing on the train next. Utterly repulsive
