[Closed] Social etiquette

It's a no from me.

Sliding towards no? You mean it took some consideration to reach that conclusion?

Surely that's a personal bathroom only activity.

Like I wouldn't even think about doing that in my own living room never mind a public space.

What's next having a shave ?

Urghhh no way.

What’s next having a shave ?

I'd say that is far more socially acceptable. Depending on what you're shaving, of course.

Weird them out with a double bluff. Ask if it would be too much trouble if he could gather them and pass them over for your collection. And ask if he is planning to do his toes too as you need more yellowing horned ones as you find them chewier (in a good way).

Start picking your nose and flicking it at him.

That's just being wasteful.

Grim!

Definitely a no from me!

Start coughing and he'll move

Would you have preferred he started to feel you leg and caress your ear with sharp nails?

Sounds like he only had your best interests at heart and was probably disappointed at your bluntly worded rejection. Maybe you should be more considerate next time?

You should have taken your shoes and socks off, hauled a foot up onto the table and said "after you with the clippers".

That's a hard no.

Would you have preferred he started to feel you leg and caress your ear with sharp nails?

Not a problem - he also set to work enthusiastically with a nail file afterward.

If you were sitting in coach C on the 1129 LNER Kings Cross to Edinburgh today, that wasn’t sugar in your tea.

Folk are just disgusting.

You have to wonder what they are like at home when they behave like tramps in public.

I had a guy clipping his toenails on the train once 🤮

Yup folks are more minging after lockdown!!

Fact 🙁

This chap, his name didn't happen to be Baldrick did it?

20+ years ago I used to go to a gym which had a big steam room. One bloke used to take a razor in there and shave then flick the razor to get rid of clogs. I used the sauna instead after seeing that.

Like I wouldn’t even think about doing that in my own living room never mind a public space.

If mine need a trim, that’s where I usually do it, but I normally use a sharp pocket knife, that way there are no bits flying off onto the carpet, they’re all one piece that goes straight into the bin, then a quick go-over with a file to remove any slightly rough bits.
Joey hated me doing it, but that was because she didn’t like me using a knife - could have been worse, I used to use a scalpel when I had a couple of those kicking around!

I had to get the bus today. There was a bloke in front of me using the arm of his glasses to dig in his ear and remove a load of earwax, he then smeared this all over the seat in front of him. 🤢

I remember why I don’t get the bus now.

Public transport is great for seeing the most socially unacceptable behaviours. Things like people biting toenails, rearranging genitalia, eating nasal contents.... just a glorious place to be. Not to mention the various former stomach contents on late night transport.

Definite no, behaviours getting worse regarding what some think it acceptable. Some **** thinks it is acceptable shave in the showers at work (there are only two and unisex), and leave the tray full of the hairs. Surely work showers, after cycling or running etc to work, are get in, wash, get out so the next colleague can use them. Ugggh!!

Clipping your fingernails on a train – yes or no?

No, filing nails possibly acceptable, clipping nails in public not, your reaction was assertive but measured, his reaction, somewhere between surprise and indignation shows a lack of understanding of social norms, and a degree of self absorption.

An effective solution I find is saying the following in an abrupt Glaswegian accent 'HEY CUT IT OUT YA CLATY BASTARD'.
