Inappropriate train behavior
Since when has it become ok to clip your toenails or do your makeup in a public venue? More mornings than not, I'm treated to the joys of watching some urban office worker finish his/her morning hygiene on the El. I can understand being pushed for time and trying to be efficient, but I don't get why someone would risk poking out their eye with a mascara wand while seated on a jerky overcrowded train. It used to be that, outside of reapplying lipstick at the table at the end of a meal, all those primping behaviors were supposed to be relegated to behind-closed-doors, in the privacy of one's own boudoir or dressing room, or in the rest room. These days, it seems that a segment of the population, primarily young women, sees nothing wrong with dropping the curtain on their feminine mystery, displaying their grooming behavior to all within a train car. Ladies, please do us a favor and finish your morning routine at home before you leave for work, or, if you're rushing, bring your makeup to the office and resume your grooming in the ladies room, behind a closed door. And to all who might otherwise think it is ok, there is NO circumstance in which it is ok to clip your toenails in a public setting when you aren't in the process of receiving a pedicure at a salon. Do you really want to watch a total stranger prune themselves in public? I know I don't.
