Doing Hygene while inside Public Shuttle

Philippines
May 26, 2010 1:55am CST
Hello Lotters, This actually happened yesterday as i was inside the shuttle and heading towards my brother's house, I was a lady pouring her towel to both of her under-arms. i don't understand if she's aware that what she's doing is really awkward, but people seemed avoid looking at her. I know it's hot summer and all, but that's not an excuse for wiping your sweat in your underarms using a towel in the public shuttle when you should be doing that inside your ROOM.

I myself wouldn't do something like that but maybe she was meeting someone special and didn't want to have sweaty pits..cause that then that would be the pits..lol I wouldn't be brave enough to do that in front of others.

hello gurl, She could have done that in the restroom but i guess it was too hot and she didn't mind other people any more since she is going some where.you don't have to do it since it was done with out proper manners, she did a bad thing they were kids there too but they didn't look at her

I totally wasn't thinking of their being a bathroom on there..sorry my brain is mush..lol.. then of course out of respect for others she should have had the decency to take it elsewhere...especially with kids around and others who didn't appreciate seeing that sort of thing..maybe she thought someone would take her seat.....Hey LetrabKnight25, hope your day was good..

sometimes, we people are not aware of our actions even if someone will be hurt or embarrassed or something. and in this situation, she is embarrassing. YUCKY.

Hello neildc, yeah, she has no idea that it's disgusting, isn't she aware that people can be looking at her. it was actually a green shuttle cab and yet she did that it is yucky even for us Filipinos. that's what happens when people flunk GMRC subjects

Sometimes people are not aware that their actions in public are disgusting. Or to them it is just normal.

Hello zandhi, Maybe they weren't taught that what they did was disgusting, it's pretty clear to me. although i must admit it's hot, probably she was afraid people might smell here underarm

Yuck. I can see wiping it off your face, but that is about it as far as I'm concerned.

hello dawn, yeah, i did see it wipe it off her face, and i was nodding side wards. like what has gone to this society, as if people don't care, probably too shy to complain.

Hi Letran.. Just dont mind her. If I place myself at her vantage, its better to do it than just let your sweat to dry in your underarms and create some suffocation to people beside you. It would be more annoyed at body odor... Let her be Letran ^_^

hello danzy, well, i guess she was concerned of people beside her, am just glad the shuttle doesn't have air conditioning, if it does it would have seriously bothered every one.

i think she should have done that in a comfort room or somewhere else but not in public. even if i feel really hot and sweating, i can't do that with many people around me.

I do not want to see that. I am not looking to someone who are doing this, actually there are many who do not care but for them to feel comfortable. Maybe the weather is hot and she can't take the heat. We cannot control them or say to them to do not do that in public. It is better not to look at them to avoid irritation.

I do not remember if I had done this in public, but if I do feel uncomfortable with the perspiration pouring on my body I will definitely wipe it.

yes your right, specially that its too hot besides its better to wipe it than look sticky to see those sweat pouring from their under arms which is more embarrassing to see. and inside shuttle nor bus is quite ok than doing that while walking which is more devastating.

hi letran Knight oh my gosh thats really weird and totally yucky for others to have to see. did she forget where she was? I mean nursing your baby in public is not to me such a sin but wiping your stinky sweat off in front of strangers? you gotta be kidding, thats totally yucky and really would be offensive to me. sure your climate they say is r eally hot but this should have been done in private. I hope she did not feel she needed to remove any clothes following this?

Hey Letran! It never ceases to amaze me how disgusting people can be no matter where they are! And it never ceases to amaze me how grossed out I can get! Unbelievable the things we have to put up with! You reminded me that it is Summer and how stinky some people can get and I have to ride the bus! I had forgotten! And tomorrow is going to be our first 90 degree day! So glad I don't have to ride the bus tomorrow!

Hello Opal, that's what happen when things get hotter, i don't know about her but as for i have conditioned myself to this hot weather. as of now, it's been raining as well, so there is hope that it won't be too much summer this month since june is nearing.

Uhmmm...That sounds a bit off! It is a strange place to do that I suppose. She must have felt so hot she just didn’t care and did what she felt she had to do I guess. She was being discreet about it wasn’t she? Not sure I would choose such a place to do that but to each their own!

Hello Paula, Who wouldn't be upset when you see something like that. i guess she was going on a trip and she doesn't want to be sweaty. am glad am not at her side though, but why do i have to look at something like THAT

hello Letran, Well,uhmnn,what can i say(hehehe) Maybe she feels too hot or feels uneasy with her underarms sweating off that much that she can't control herself wiping.(and even forgot she's in public) I just hope it doesn't smells foul too...just kidding. Have a good day dear brother,nice to see you again

Hello Sis, I guess i should have observe her before she wipe that into her under arm. she could have had that pamaypay with her and by the way it was windy so it's impossible for her to get sweaty

if its inside the shuttle then i dont bother at all for at least theres only few people saw me than doing that in public like outside nor in highway and waiting for shuttle which is more embarrassing, besides its not really nice to feel if my underarms is sweating, and theres too many whose doing that specially those who wear sleeveless but what matter is they do it secretly even in public. besides i dont really mind other people of what theyre doing just to make them feel refresh specially now that its too hot. perhaps its an excuse.

hi i guess that really is disgusting you know! doing hygiene purposes should be done in a specific closed room where no one from public people can see you doing that thing. yes,it's really hot nowadays but that should be avoided of course during public places.that's really disgusting to know that she is a woman.not a nice move my friend!

which one you prefer, to see those sweat pouring from their under arms which is sticky or those who wipe sweat on their under arms. for me i will rather want to wipe it than let the sweat pouring down from my under arms specially if i wear sleeveless. i understand those who do that as its really hot here and as long as they will not put the towel to their face just right after they wipe it from their under arms which is more yucky. since its hot i actually understand them, besides inside shuttle is already safe and quite ok that doing that while walking or while waiting the bus. besides you cant just go home and go to your room just to wipe your under arms if your already out and in the middle of somewhere.
