Bus Stops

On three different days this week I noticed people waiting at bus stops doing things that left me wondering. I saw a man standing waiting for a bus cleaning his ears with a cotton swab. He went through two or three of them as I sat watching him waiting for the light to change, tossing them on the ground when he was done.




On another day I saw a woman standing at a bus stop brushing her teeth. I was just passing by so I'm left to only imagine what she did about the spitting part.

This morning while I again waited for a light to change I saw a man sitting on a bench in a bus shelter with his foot propped up on the bench clipping his toenails. Yikes. The light couldn't change fast enough for me.





I wonder when personal hygiene  became a  public activity.

I wonder if people are really so busy that they have no other time for these things.

I wonder what I will see next.

  2. Uh... I second Betty's "Ewwwww!" That's disgusting. Maybe it's just a REALLY long wait for that particular bus. ;-)
