Commuter Grooming
Alright, I think there is some sort of trend going on. Yesterday I heard, for the third time on NJ Transit, that excrutiating sound: Snip. Snip. Snip. Since the train was still boarding at Penn Station, I actually got up to get visual confirmation. Sure enough, a woman was sitting there, clipping away, letting bits of her unwanted fingernails go flying, totaly oblivious to how disgusting she was being. I had to switch cars after that. My stomach is a wee bit sensitive in the A.M., and it doesn't take much. Just hearing that sound could push me over the edge. Though maybe I am being a bit too hard. Perhaps I should take advantage of this trend. I could use my time on the train to finally get around to grooming my nose hair, for instance.
