Today, on my metro ride home, I sat next to a woman who thought it was appropriate to continually scratch at her scalp and then eat her 'scalp pickings'. When I looked over at her hair, I could see scabs clumped together from her previous scratching sessions. FML

While it is a public system and I'm bound to encounter plenty of 'weird' people, I would still never expect a 50 something year old professional woman to be picking at her scalp and then eating whatever it is she picks out. And while none of her pickings ended up on me, one good head shake would have changed that very quickly. It would have been Christmas in my lap in May!

It is actually a disorder. Self-cannibalism or autosarcophagy. Fingernail biting, if it includes swallowing the nails, is a minor form. Still nasty though. >

i doubt she thought it was appropriate... she probably has some sort of mental disability if she's digging at her head that hard and then eating it. if that's the case she can't control it, as gross as it may be, it's not her fault.
