Tube Rudeness

I haven't posted for a while, partially because I have had some symptoms of RSI in my arm and am trying not to do so much computer work. However, I saw something gross today and had to share it.

This morning on the northern line I saw a woman clipping her fingernails. And no, it was not like she had a hanging nail and had to quickly address it, she was full on giving her nails a trim right there on the tube.

It was a funny moment actually, when I heard that tell-tale clicking, I looked up from my book in horror to see the guy sitting next to her look up from his book in horror at the same time, and we exchanged grossed-out glances. This is actually quite an unusual event on the tube as everyone usually pretends others don't exist. Maybe that was the woman's excuse.
