The hell is wrong with some people?

Jayde, this is an awesome drawing. It really shows how people feel on the GO Train some days. Keep drawing!

I was more concerned with the woman hanging up her bag in the designated area for mobility challenged commuters. By all means, spread and get comfortable.

And look at all those phones...Yikes. What happened to just looking out of the window? Or having a conversation with a stranger?

Sorry, what? Having conversations with a stranger? Jeez, not even in 1981 was this something commuters sought to do.

For me, phones are like books. Hundreds of people used to have their nose buried in a book before smartphones arrive - no difference.

It's a different ride on VIA. I used to commute to Aldershot on VIA and conversations with strangers are all the rage :) (Mind you so is treating your seat like an office cubicle aka 'working on the train' but you can't have everything)

I want someone to shout "ow! my eye!" and clutch their eye the next time they are sat next to someone doing this, I would myself but I luckily never encounter this.

I saw someone trimming their hair on an OCTranspo bus once here in Ottawa. Ick. But nail trimming is worse. I also find filing one's nails in public kind of disgusting (who wants to breathe in the dust of someone else's body parts?) but maybe it's just me.

Personally I love the eye brows on that character! You could cover up the rest of the illustration and still get the message...they say it all!

Nice work JS!

Not to mention that ever-annoying intermittent "snapping" sound, the way it emulates the classic "Chinese water torture".
In the same class as "table thumpers" and "pencil/pen tappers".

it's not the first time she did this.
comes on the go train, sits down, once the train starts moving, out comes the nail clipper
she clips all 10 nails and files them too.

i get it if you have a chipped nail and needs just a very quick filing so it won't catch on things. but doing this almost every week on the train is GROSS!!
