Women who do their make-up on the train in the morning

[Arch]

Can anyone tell me why women need to wear make up and perfume?

Because they think they need to to be normal.

I suppose some enjoy it all. Personally, I just feel like I have cack on my face. I can't remember when I last wore any.

I sat on a train from Brighton to London recently and a girl took 45 minutes to do her face. It was painful.

Oddly enough I had exactly the same experience on a train from Brighton to London a few weeks ago- there were two of them, plastering it on. My wife overheard their conversation- turned out they were on their way to work at a lapdancing club!

Once when I was in a restaurant with a small group of people one of the women got out her lipstick after the meal and reapplied it , exclaiming 'I used to hate it when my mother did this'.

How I wish she hadn't followed her mother's example.

Believe me , it looks worse close up across a restaurant table than it does on a commuter train in the morning !

It does not bother me at all. I frequently come across ladies on the Edinburgh to Glasgow train putting their face on. It seems to me a good use of wasted time. I am more put off by people have their smelly breakfast from some form of Tupperware container - gross.

...a Harrow in experience, but I am happy that my mate tdr1nka has got the Edgware others haven't.

Well you would know Morden most!
It's like fencing with puns, you know when you've been 'Ongar-ed'.

It is a shame, that they are brainwashed to apply this gunk to their faces, a little make-up can be nice, but natural usually wins hands-down.

Although Chaps, be on your guard, with the pervading miasma of emasculation abound, now Boots are selling eye-liner for men!!!

On the other hand, I think it must take a fair amount of skill to be able to decorate one's face while sitting on a moving train, what with all the bouncing up and down!

For some reason, I have an image in my head of someone with Tourettes and a bowl of popcorn ...

Surely it means that whilst they're distracted you can eye them up?!!

It just means that when they apply make up at home they have to jump up and down a lot!!!

I used to put my make up on during my commute, until one time the guy opposite me fell asleep just as I started. He woke about 5 minutes after I'd finished and had put all make up away. He opened his eyes, looked at me and said:
"Thank God that troll who was sitting opposite got off the train and you sat there! She's have been a shock to wake up to"!

Actually, I agree with most. I'll only wear mascara and lipstick because I can't cope with clogging my face up with powders and foundation etc.

Many a true word. I did fall asleep across from a very plain Jane in what they call a rape carriage now in the early 80's only to wake up 40 minutes later facing a very attractive lady. As this was a fast train with no stops I couldn't work out where the new lass had come from.
