the longest pick ever

Posted on June 12, 2003

Every morning I take the Odakyu line at 6:30 am from Sagamiono to Noborito station where I transfer on to 2 other train lines to get to my office. For the last week and a half I have witnessed something so disturbing, so disgusting, so absolutely repulsive that I can not keep it to myself. We have all seen oyaji picking their noses quickly and descretley on the train, I know I have but this guy I see every day is over the top. He not only goes completely postal on his nostrils but he, (sorry for saying this but I've got to get this off my chest) licks his fingers between picks! I usually get a good 25 min of sleep during that lag of my journey but lately I have been so disgusted by this salary man that I keep thinking to myself what I could do to make him stop. I have yelled at people in the past who have done the same thing, "Is it tasty? nice and salty?" in Japanese but the other passengers just stare at me... How can this guy do this in full view of everyone on the train? and is he not embarrassed? why does no one say anything? Yesterday I took out my camera and video taped this guy. Some of my co-workers took a quick look at the video and just lost it! and what I don't understand is those are the same people who sit quietly on the train ignoring these types of childish actions.

that's quite the pick -

wow, big movie file. you should try compressing with divx. might save you a bit on bandwidth!

i can't say i've seen anyone on the trains here in shikoku pick quite like that - no shame.

Man, that's just nasty. I see it a lot too; I've never said anything to anyone, but often I'll make some kind of 'eww, that's gross' face and then get up and go sit somewhere else in hopes that they'll actually 'get it.' What's the deal with that, anyway? Is it just generally accepted here? Do parents not teach their kids that it's not cool to stick your finger up your nose in public? (Especially when you're doing it as some kind of in-between snack... sheesh...)

YUKI! Do you really think Mark should have to change the train?? The guy shouldn't pick his nose and eat it. YUKI! address the issue, don't run away from it.
