Things that make you go.... huh?

1. An adult guy on the tram (ostensibly not a complete spooner) picking his nose and eating it.
2. A woman doing her entire face makeup on the tram – foundation, powder, eyeliner, mascara, lippie, the lot. Reminds me of this fine paragon of female loveliness I was privileged to have captured on a Tokyo train a couple of years back…
Japanese charmer
Haven’t people heard the adage “A smile is the Best Makeup”???
3. Asking for 100grams of salami at Safeway, to which the deli assistant pops a wad of salami and snores “Is 60grams OK?” Why, no, dippitysnickets, if I’d wanted 60 grams I’d have asked for it.
4. Pregnant women getting pica, the abnormal (really?) craving for soil/dirt/gritty substances. Deffo my favourite Disorder of the Day (although eating roasted placenta would surely qualify?).
5. A guy in our ante-natal class wearing no shoes, his feet covered in dirt. Now, I’ve nothing against people putting their best bogan foot forward, but in a hospital?
6. An actress (Shannyn Sossamon) naming her son “Audio Science Clayton”. Would someone give that girl a shot of pseudoephedrine, already…
Permanent Link | - There’s very little I find more disturbing than women doing a full face on the train – especially when they do it BADLY and actually look better without it. I couldn’t resist one day, leaning over and saying “You really don’t need that navy eyeshadow, you have pretty eyes as it is.” She swore at me then but I haven’t seen her with navy eyeshadow since.
Mind you, kudos to any woman who can paint liquid liner straight and apply mascara on a moving train without taking out an eye.
