If you think it's gross then you must think make up in general is gross.

People are in a rush, you don't have to look.

I think anything you can do 'on the go' is reasonable, except stopping for a dump. As long as you don't impact others negatively.


I get 'looks' on the occasion I leave the house still brushing my teeth, esp when I spit mouthful into a drain on the street, but sometimes just have to innit.

I'm with the opening poster. I find so much people do in a public place disgusting. Eating, drinking alcohol, listening to loud music, talking loudly on a mobile device, as well as applying makeup. I'm even offended by groups who feel its acceptable to walk along talking oblivious to the world around them. And as for yummy mummy's walking down lordship lane with bugaboos yapping away to one another blocking the street for other pedestrians - dont get me started. It seems people have grown this selfish lack of etiquette when it comes to day to day life. The fact so many posters on here find it acceptable shows what has become of our society. Hey why not all just feel free to spit at one another while we are at it? Disgrace. Rant over.

I'm afraid I agree with OP, Get dressed and put your makeup on before you leave the house. I've seen full makeup being applied and I don't want to sit next to someone going through the full routine with powder brush ect Seems it concerns others too. http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20130127050055AAoUe4J. Not the best choice of words for the title. Maybe annoying would of been better than gross but its both gross and annoying

Some people are just too damn selfish to consider how their actions may impact upon others. I'm not one to use public transport, but if I did I'd be very aware of the impact this may have on others. Blusher going everywhere, lipstick wonky and looking uneven. The person will only alight the vehicle looking like a pantomime drag artiste anyhow.

No, the extraordinary thing is that most frequently the make-up is expertly applied as if the applicator wasn't sitting in a jolting bus (tubes are far smoother, and offer less of a challenge). It's quite amazing to watch, simply as an exhibition of skill.


What is quite interesting is the way in which people construct an imaginary bubble around them when they commute, so that their actions no longer form part of a collective, but instead allow them to operate in isolation. Considering how much of a social anaimal we actually are, this ability to shut out other people is quite amazing. I am not sure whether it is peculiarly British (flowing from our 'reserve') or whether it is replicated in other cultures. Some other cultures (Japanese?) certainly seem much more aware of the impact being made on others around them.

    • you're witnessing "Natural Selection" the core mechanism behind the theory of evolution which determines if organisms will survive long enough to produce offspring
    • Maybe Angelina did see them, however how many people and drivers didn't?  Just takes one to cause life changing for both.  Wouldn't it be more sensible if cyclists realised lights and reflective gear is not just to help them see but to potentially save their lives by making them visible to all. 
    • I agree with this, I'm afraid.  I see it every day within the industry - a lot of it is to do with the fact that the people working in it are younger now and don't realise how much they're being subconsciously indoctrinated by certain forces (social media and group-think), so they're now pathologically incapable of objectivity. Also, they don't read books, pick up the phone to experts, or generally know how to research properly.  On a lot of documentaries I've worked on, I've been leant on hard to peddle narratives that are not only heavily biased, but often outright inaccurate, and I've fought back where I can. It's really depressing,  I'd like to think that, at the BBC, I'd be immune from these influences, and allowed to project a 360 view, but it's sadly  not the case. You'd also be surprised at how toothless the BBC can be when presented with something that's irrefutable but could, say, upset Murdoch or the DM...  Hands up, I'm guilty of platforming extreme right-wingers, misogynists, anti-abortionists, racists, anarchists, pro gun lobbyists, rape-apologists... you name it, I'm all for putting them in a programme. Even though I deplore what they stand for, it's important to me to have a counter-view, and they almost always hang themselves.  (Job done.)  It's funny that certain people are up in arms about Rockets posting 'misinformation' in the Traffic threads, but  seem OK with it in broadcast, as long as it aligns with their views. You have to ask yourselves, what is it that you really want? If it's an echo chamber then just watch Fox News or CNN, however you lean. But then what's the point of it all? I fear the ship's sailed, so I don't know why I bother. 
    • That’s right, we could see them passing us at the stops and then as we overtook them. There was one moped without lights doing about 30mph.    Stupid is one word, but when it puts pedestrians at risk, it’s a different word. We’ll be raising it and hopefully get some publicity about road safety awareness
