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.

    • Because of the weather which delayed completion with roofer only being able to work certain days, it was up from November - end of January. Went slightly higher than gutters (we also had guttering replaced).
    • It's tough being a courier and the pay which is largely based on the number they deliver is miserable. Hence the staff turnover is high. EFRI was previously branded as HERMES but they had to create a new brand name because of poor performance. We get regular courier deliveries and EVRI are by far the worst. They just drop the parcel at the front door - often without ringing the bell. But worst is when they deliver to the equivalent door number on LL instead of ours on EDG. Best are ParcelForce, DHL and DPD by a wide margin.
    • I know the couple you mean, and she has always been friendly and smiley when delivering to me, but obviously in a hurry, for all the reasons outlined in the thread. My gate is always open, however (unless someone coming to the house closes it when they leave). I can't see the point of gates that have to be opened and shut again every time someone comes to the house. It just seems a waste of time, and it's annoying if you are carrying stuff. And a closed gate  conveys a sort of "my house is my fortress" feel. To me, anyway.
    • Thanks for posting this. Really interesting. It would be good if you added a star rating, so that it was easier to do comparisons / see what your top recommendations are. Great blog though!
