So I was riding the bus the other day, like I do, to get around. Don’t really remember where I was coming from, but I recall that I was heading back towards North Beach from downtown. Well, I was sitting in one of the seats where you face sideways. I hate those seats. Anyways, I started hearing this ‘click’ sound at random intervals. So I started to look around, when I noticed this old Chinese guy staring at his hands. Looking closer, I saw that had finger nail clippers in one hand, and was inspecting his yellowed fingernails. And clipping. Clipping his fingernails on a public bus. I found it very disgusting and rude and most of all gross. I mean, seriously - this guy probably has no job, no social calls or professional engagements to rush to. But he apparently can’t find time to clip his nails in the privacy of his own home. Only on the bus, between strolling the streets downtown and those in Chinatown, can he find the time and space to clip his crusted, splintering fingernails.

Nasy man.
