Yuk!

I have been travelling on the bus to and from work for quite a few years now and at times I see things I really don't want to. Tonight was one such trip.

Over the last week I have been catching a later bus after visiting my niece in hospital and the bus is not so crowded. Tonight I hopped on and took my seat and started to gaze blankly out the window. As it was getting dark there's mostly just a reflection from inside the bus. 

I was off with the fairies when what I was actually seeing registered in my befuddled brain. 

There was a reasonably well dressed man sitting two seats in front of me to my right and he was PICKING HIS NOSE!  Not just a discreet brush but a full on dig up to the first joint of his forefinger. YUK!!!!  He didn't have a tissue or handkerchief to wipe it on I think he was rolling it between his fingers. Then just before I got off the bus he brushed whatever had dropped in his lap onto the floor.  Gives me the heeby jeebies just thinking about it.

I thought I'd look in the other direction but then I was looking straight at him and of course when I went back to looking out the window I could see his reflection. He kept it up obviously thinking no one would see him.  But lucky me I saw it all.

There are some things that people may like to do that are best done in private and that was definitely one of them.  Next time you think it might be OK to have a pick or whatever, just be aware there may be someone watching you.
