It's a subway, not a bathroom sink
This post from Annie about women who apply makeup on the London Underground reminds me of something I witnessed on the Washington Metro last week. I was sitting on a back-to-the-side seat when a woman got on a Gallery Place/Chinatown and sat at the adjacent forward-facing seat. After Metro Center, she pulled out a nail file and clippers and began working on her nails!
Got a hangnail that's bothering you? Fine, go for it - I can't say I haven't taken care of one in transit. But when you're getting into voluntary grooming, you're treading into nasty territory, especially with nails. When she gets off the train, someone will be treated to a seat covered in human detritus. Sure, it doesn't top the icky scale like other things that come from the body, but it's certainly bad manners to leave parts of yourself on the train and assume nobody will mind.
