The weather's turned cold and miserable... it's rainy and windy and so dark out tonight... colds and flu are everywhere about (but not, apparently, swine flu, even tho Victoria seems to have become the current world leader in the spread of the 'big S'!)... and here's something else that people do that I can't stand...
- Picture this... you've squeezed into a packed tram or train carriage for the trip home from work. Everyone's wet or damp from the rain; it's steamy and unpleasant inside, even tho' you're protected from the wind and rain... and then, you hear it, from somewhere nearby, but out of sight... the revolting sound of the sniffer!
Yes, apparently, scientists have proven that handkerchiefs are now unsanitary, and it's too much trouble to carry a packet of tissues, so the only option is to snort all that juicy slime back down your throat! Constantly. Loudly. Sickeningly. Maybe I have a weak stomach, but the repeated tune of the heavy sniffer at close quarters is enough to make me want to vomit. Did these people learn absolutely no manners at all when they were growing up? Do they do this in front of their family, friends or work colleagues? Or is it a trick they save to show off in front of strangers??
- Closely related... ignorant bastards who cough (or yawn - yuk!) without covering their mouths, especially on public transport.
