Subway Hygiene

I am never bored riding the subway because there are so many interesting types of people to watch. For instance, yesterday night a guy played his radio on the train and started dancing and using the poles and bars to flip himself over. Impressive. Then there was another time when I was looking at a woman who wore a cute dress and had nice legs...who turned out to be a man. But then there are times when interesting turns into just plain nasty. I'm talking about people who need to work on their hygiene habits, especially when they're sitting in close proximity to others.

Tonight I watched a man watch me watch him as he picked his nose. (This is the second man in the past week I watched dig for dinosaurs.) He then placed his hand on his mouth as if he was contemplating something deep and then picked his teeth with the same finger. OMG, man, that is dirty. He proceeded to picked his nose again. Maybe he gets turned on when people watch him pick his nose and I was feeding his fetish.

Watching the nose picker made me think of some subway hygiene no-no's...and this is based on what I've seen. (Take note, my friends who are going to visit me in November.)

• Don't pick your flaky skin and flick them on the floor
• Don't rub Bengay or spray obnoxiously strong cologne/perfume on yourself before stepping in the train
• Don't sneeze in your hand (use your arm) and then touch the pole
• Don't cut your nails and have them fling all over the place
• Don't touch the pole and then touch your face
• Don't pee on yourself and sit in the train
• Don't fart, especially if you know it's going to stink
• Don't stand around with your fly unzipped because I don't want that in my face
• and of course, Don't pick your nose and then touch your mouth or pole
