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.

    • Thanks Penguin. It could be a coincidence. But after years of road safety being on the local agenda they finally put the crossings in months before Dulwich Estates regain the lease on The Grove.   The Estate understands there is strong local interest in improving this area and we hope to be in a position to share some exciting updates in the near future. The temporary skatepark will remain unaffected. “Temporary skatepark” is telling.    
    • Back to my earlier post about familiarity.  I was in Croydon this afternoon walking between the two main stations.  Didn't feel unsafe, but there were some 'interesting' characters on the street.  Not that any were bothered with me. Not a place I'd choose to go for a bit of a fun.  Although having said that West Croydon has some cracking restaurants and the wonderfully named Saints and Sinners bar, where I once went on a corporate do - not that I did many of these. Whoops just checked and it closed a few months ago. Back on track, I never went to the Castle as I felt it was a bit rough.  How wrong was I?  Only real pub left in the area.
    • Wow Sue! I was reading your post with interest as I’ve never really felt unsafe in London and I was born here. It was just your last paragraph that derailed me and totally changed the subject matter! So unnecessary.
