Disgusting
Can you think of anything grosser than someone eating while riding public transit? I'm not unusually afeared of germs, but seriously, the bus is a petri dish on wheels - especially during flu season.
To answer my own question, the only thing more disgusting than watching someone eat while riding public transit is smelling the food that someone is eating while riding public transit. Especially when your fellow passenger is eating a banana.
I'm all for Americans eating more fruit & vegetables. As a general rule, I am a fan of the banana. But the wafting odor of banana, mixed with the raunchy bouquet that is know as Metrotransit bus is pretty much the last thing I needed on the long ride home tonight.
