I know we all have them. On a train ride home on the NJ transit, the woman across from me decided to clip her nails for the world to see and hear. I was peeved! Granted some may say I have become spoiled traveling in business and first class, but I am happy to take public transportation to get me where I need to go. I do it everyday, on the subways, trains etc.. but there are some behaviors I believe are just not meant for public spaces. Essentially, anything that should be designated for your bathroom, like nail clipping, should not be done on a train! I admit I was so repulsed that I ended up staring in her direction in what must have seemed like a dirty look. She caught notice of me and gave me a look right back! I couldn’t believe it. It’s not as if I went into her own home and told her what to do and not do, but there are some personal items not meant for the train! Gum chewing, I have to say, is another. Ever sit next to someone who is chomping on their gum so loudly you feel like you should be in a pasture with the cows? Anyway, I consider these to be simple manners, or common courtesy, that do not seem to catch on to everyone. But what is one to do? Is it the wrong thing to ask the woman to stop clipping her nails, or tell someone to chew with their mouth closed? Help me out here people, what would you do? -Alex Young, vice president and associate publisher
