One day last week I was on an early train (which I got as its empty and I get to read my book). Anyhooo I noticed that I could hear a noise that you wouldn’t expect to hear on a train. So I look up and try to distingish what it was, and low and behold it was the noise of someone cutting their nails. Yes I did say cutting their nails!!
Now being a lady I understand that you may have a loose nail and would file or cut it down so it don’t snag anything – but this person behind me must have had very long Rhino nails as this cutting session went on for three stops - which in my estimation is over 6 minutes long.
The Man in front of me was pulling a face of disgust as he too was disturbed from his book. So I try to glance round to make a mental note not to sit near this person in the future, but couldn’t work out who the culprit was!!
Now dont get me wrong – this person cutting their nails was not the problem - it was the fact that it went on for so long.
