For those that may not know it, you're disgusting if you perform personal hygeine on public transportation. I was listening to someone clip their nails on the bus this morning and I kept waiting for a nail chunk to come flying into my lap or for someone to scream because it hit them in the mouth or face.
Just thought I'd let you know...

and if the person who took a shit in the toilets down the corridor this morning and didn't flush it, I'm going to make you fish it out if I catch you. Also, why do non-flushers never seem to wipe their arse and just leave a log there on display?

and by the way, youngsters over in the corner trading spit, take it home--I don't care how in love you are

this summer, on one of the hottest days of the year, i was on the upper deck of a sweltering, stinking bus in east london that was overcrowded with a bunch of genetically modified potatoes dressed up in human suits.
one of them popped the pimple on another one's neck right in front of my face. i am saying that this took place no more than one foot away from my face.
i started to think that perhaps fainting was not just an unfortunate byproduct of corsets that went the way of the dodo sometime after the victorian era. i nearly lost consciousness from the disgust welling up in my chest.

para I think that's certainly the worst thing I've heard today, possibly this month!

On the subway today, a man came to me to start a conversation. He made small talk, this lonely man, talking about the weather and other things. I tried to be pleasant and accommodating, but my head began to hurt from his banality. I almost didn't
notice it had happened, but I suddenly threw up all over him.He was not pleased,and I couldn't help laughing.

jesus, para, that's disgusting.
You see the craziest things on public transportation. I use it about 4 times a week. Annoying things include: people who make out constantly, picking off scabs and other things, pulling things out of one's hair, various foul smells resulting from people not taking care of themselves, and people being rude to the bus driver or other people in general.
It usually doesn't get too bad though.
In music class (in grade 11, three years back) there used to be this disgusting kid who would just sit in his chair and pick off all of his scabs and nasty things, resulting in him bleeding by the end of every class.

LOL Jaline.
Reminds me...
Once at summer camp, I was there on a week long hiking, camping, building your own shelter, etc. excursion out in the woods and such.
There were outdoor showers in this one area, enclosed with wooden walls and a bench inside.
There was this chubby kid in our group, and I thought he was done showering as I approched the shower stall.
I kind of look around the corner, and he's there in shorts, no shirt, lifting up his fat rolls applying deoderant to some of the most red, chapped, cracked skin I've ever seen - all horizontal corresponding to his spare tires around his gut.Might just have been the most repulsive thing I've ever seen: watching a kid put deoderant on his stomach.

yes, as you can imagine, it has been more than six months since that day and yet the incident remains fresh in my mind.
you've got a point there about the rudeness, too, jaline. last week, during my commute which is less like a commute and more like "abandoning your body bubble for expats 101", there was a forty-something man sitting in one of the seats on the train and an obviously pregnant woman was standing right next to him as he sat there.
she was being sort of buffeted about by the crowd and then had a bit of a hot flash and had a hell of a time getting her coat off without falling over. he just sat there the whole time!
but what shocked me was that, when he got up just before his station, a twenty-something girl who was standing right there as well (and who, it must be said, couldn't have not noticed the pregnant woman), snuck in and sat in his place!
i was so appalled i actually called her out on it and made her give the seat up.

at brunch yesterday I saw this man with a huge buger hanging out of his nose. I watched him laugh and it shot out of his nose onto the table. He saw it and wiped it with his elbow and looked around to see if anyone at his table noticed.
P.S.
I hate people that clip their f'n nails in publc!!!!

i saw a woman on the train this morning and she was meticulously doing her makeup, the whole deal -foundation, eye lines, mascara, lash curlers, lipstick the lot, she even had to check in the mirror when she put her specs on at the end, to make sure her hair was still in place around the arms of the glasses, but the thing that amused me was the fact that this woman was clinically obese to the point that she was taking up two chairs, clearly she was missing something, maybe she accidentally bought one of those fairground mirrors.

'accidentaly'
lol

I'm sorry, but women who do their makeup on public transportation on the way to work just look like sluts.
If you're that rushed to get out the door that you can't add an extra 10 minutes to your morning routine to do it at home...

The other day there was an older fellow who was waving at all sorts of young children on the bus and he had his tongue out licking the metal posts that people hang on to, it was bloody disgusting and creepy. Parents were clinging onto their kids.

(Mar 20 06, 09:07)awesome. I always make sure to give up my seat to ppl who need it, since my stop is earlier on.
It definitely disgusts me when people don't give their seat up for someone who needs it more.

People urinate on our subways in chicago all the time. There's the section at the end of each car that has a little partition, and two seats behind it.
It's been dubbed the "hobo hut" by many people, and it's where they go and do their thing.
It's disgusting. It would be a nice seat otherwise because it's kind of closed off.

flossing your teeth should be in the private of your bathroom.

What is your dream?
that the internet will die and humans will revert to farming and the world will lose connections and pockets of chaos will be everywhere and people dont know anything anymore about other races of people so one day u might see some woman or man and you have truly never seen anything like that bc he/she evolved differently without you being able to see her growth on the computer and you are amazed and also the technology in different pockets of the world are truly truly truly dissonantly irrationally foreign...nothing is of the same lineage - we recognize too much.

on a jetblue flight to san diego this weekend, a lady sitting next to me thought she could fart and no one would know, so she kept letting them go the WHOLE 6 HOURS and i knew it was her, and kept covering my face, but she kept thinking she was pulling a fast one, and acting unaware but i knew it was her. yuck.
