It’s going to be that sort of day…
This morning on the bus I was stuck between a woman wearing a Feathers scarf and a woman who was CLIPPING HER FINGERNAILS. (And we’re not talking just giving a quick trim to a snagged nail; she was doing a full-on manicure and – as far as I could tell – dumping the clippings on the windowsill.) The sad thing is, I really couldn’t decide which was more offensive.

Depends on the colour of the feathers – was it that pukey green?

Pink Feathers. And it was that horrible, lurid shade of hot pink that makes me think of the bit from Microserfs where a character describes the Barbie aisle of the toy store as vaginal. That pink. *shudder*

Some Japanese women like to clip their fingernails in cafes, and you just hope to god that those nails don’t end up in your coffee! Totally gross.
