and just when you think that nobody is looking.. think again. taking the long mrt rides back from school sometimes makes me feel like barfing. and what's worst is that i've seen it happen more than once

1) Digging for gold
sometimes, pple pick their noses. and if that's not bad enough, sometimes pple dig their noses as though they're really digging for gold. and what do they do with the newfound gold? i can't bear to see what happens for the thought is too revolting. but what i can say is that i've realised that there are a lot of fingerprints on the handrails. but usually when this happens, most of them don't bother to see if there are any onlookers. that's the part that creeps me out the most. more often than not, this happens on those priority seats or those 2 seaters. and that's very much the reason i prefer not to sit on those seats. so when kristin told me that was her fav spot, i was really quite appalled haha

2) Fly
k this is a one-off incident. once there was this old man (ard 70+ years old) who sat down and embarrassingly realised that he didn't zip up his fly. so he looked around surreptitiously to see if anyone was looking in his direction before slowly moving his bag onto his lap to cover up his act. well, then of course he proceeded to zip it up. i think the girl next to him realised it coz she was desperately looking away and well, haha the old man didn't realise that diagonally opposite him was me, and i saw the whole process. lol

3) Snowing
k wrong word, i think a more appropriate word is 'flaking'. and it happened just now when i took the train back to bishan. i really really felt my stomach twisting inside out when i saw it coz he just kept doing it for at least 15-20mins! it was this man(maybe late 50s) with a relatively thick coat of hair. i realised that he kept twisting his fingers around his hair and then dusting his fingers on the floor. i starred harder and he was still completely oblivious to my existence coz he kept doing it. he was having very bad dandruffs! he kept peeling his scalp or sth (i really don't know what he was doing), and it was so gross coz he was littering the mrt floor with his dandruff! then came the finale that made my goosebumps raise. when it was amk, he reached into his back pocket and i thought to myself 'yes! he's getting off!' but oh no.. he took out a comb and tilted his head to the empty seat next to him and combed. snow in the mrt! and to my horror, the empty seat was laden with white flakes which he indifferently swept it onto the floor. the mrt door opened and an unsuspecting victim sat on that previously snowing seat. poor chap. i really wish i could send him my condolences.

and so just to reiterate my point. when you think nobody is looking, really, think again and again and again. coz there's ALWAYS someone looking. i realised this usually happens when i take long mrt rides to non-town areas. maybe it's coz there are lesser pple. gross.

fine maybe it's not just limited to public transport. pple do gross stuff in their cars too. just because you're the only person in the car doesn't mean nobody can see ur actions. the car in front can always use the rearview mirrow to see what the car behind is doing. so yea lol, do be careful. lol
