I was verbally abused this afternoon on the train by a very rude old man who seemed to take it personally that I was using a pomander
I know it's a bit unfashionable (don't know why though!) but the way I see it is why the hell shouldn't I take whatever measures I deem appropriate to protect myself from discomfort?
If people observed proper personal hygiene (nothing obsessive here, I just mean not actually smelling bad and making other people feel unwell) and stayed off the buses and trains when they have hacking coughs and sneezes etc, I wouldn't use it
but I travel a lot and just want to be comfortable - why he was so rude I don't understand
he called me a "cow"
AIBU?
to carry a pomander when travelling by public transport?
