Personal grooming

As a rushed lady commuter, I appreciate as much as the next person that an extra 5 minutes in bed is a glorious pleasure, but I would like to remind people about train etiquette and personal space!

Train make up appliers...I mean, it doesn't overly annoy me, a little bit when you're covering a spot (it makes me gag a little) or when you are curling your eyelashes (side note: it's also really dangerous whilst on the train, you could injure yourself then make me late!).  I mean, if you have got this far without make up, then why bother putting it on at all?

Things that do annoy me: take Mrs eyebrow plucker...seriously, do you not have time to do that over the weekend? Or in the evening? I watch her in disgust (along with others) as she throws her little eyebrow hairs all over the place. She realises I'm watching her, so stops.

This morning, I had a hairbrusher, a vigorous hairbrusher with knots, and the thing that grossed me out was all the hair coming out. WHY would you that? It was falling everywhere, in clumps, it reminded me of grooming an effing dog.

Is this a time saving method, really? Can you not do this in your own home?

I remember one guy cutting his toenails once - super grim! I was younger then, and probably was too scared to pull a 'I'm so disgusted by your existence' face. Nowadays I would have no qualms with that.

It brings me to the question, should we as fellow commuters, try and educate these people by telling them the errors of their ways? Or am I am meant to take having eyebrow hairs being flicked onto me?

Have any of you experienced some personal grooming faux pas on the trains? More importantly, did you make any effort to stop them?

Happy travelling,
