Do you mind if I leave my DNA all over this coach?

I love, LOVE, LOVE those of you who are quick-thinking enough to snap photos. Pictures REALLY DO tell a story!

I got on the train this morning and saw a woman cleaning her nails.

I am strangely disgusted yet fascinated at the same time. Some people have no shame!

She has "professional" manicure tools and a folded paper towel across her lap.

I can only assume she's an esthetician based on the way she is dressed and the tools she's using.

She also has a little container of water (with a lid) beside her. She occasionally opens this container and dips her fingers in it as necessary.

I blatantly stared at her when I got on like, "WTF?" but she clearly sees nothing wrong with giving herself a full manicure while on the train.

She has now fully dipped her fingers/entire hand in her container of liquid. Clearly, I have not seen it all on my train rides in to the city!

She never pulled out nail polish - thank god - but spent the entire ride picking/cutting her skin/cuticles and cleaning under her nails.

Blech.

Yep!

I was on the train with a lady who was filing her nails, loudly.

Everyone surrounding her was grossed out.

And no one commented?

I've never encountered a full on manicure but I have had to listen to the sound of nails being clipped. Ick!

I understand an emergency repair (lasting less than 60 seconds), but this? The train is a public space, take care of your hygiene at home. What's next, trimming nose hairs?

Mediocre at best.

Too many bruises.

There was a lot of staring and looks of disbelief, but as far as I know, no one commented.

I was tempted to say something, but that would have involved yelling across the car as I was at an opposite window. And to be honest, I didn't have the energy to cause a scene so early in the morning.

Some people have no shame. And no sense of personal space. Oh no, wait, yes they do - all of our space if theirs. Idiots.

Maybe GO should partition the knee-knocker 2x2's with walls and sliding doors. Think of the benefits:

1. Less noise transmission.
2. Less odor transmission? (e.g. food, foot riders).
3. Less visually-disgusting elements transmission (no line of sight). Although maybe glass panes would be necessary to help people find seats.
4. The Corridor Club would be ecstatic.
