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's nasty but frankly you got up and moved [ala your post], and, there is no mention of her trying to bother you, or, her dandriffy scalp pickings getting on you at all. When you get on the Subway-Train you expect to see plenty of weirdos. I remember one time going into the city there was a really drunk guy [it was like 8pm so it was kind of weird] with 3 friends. The drunk guy had a grenade tattoo and a HUGE gash in his leg. The entire train ride was spent with him YELLING in a Billy Mayes voice [this was before his death] saying things like "BILLY MAYES HERE!". . ."IMMA NEED SOME OXYCLEAN TO CLEAN UP THIS BLOOD". . ."OXYCLEAN. . .I'M BILLY MAYES". . .Now I'll give it to him that his Billy Mayes voice was pretty decent, and it was so funny that I still bring it up with some of my friends from that night. . But it was also pretty damn weird.

Nobody said she was professional. She could have been a drunk hobo for all we know.

Maybe she has psoriasis (something I struggle with). It makes the skin cells regenerate faster than normal and it can be quite itchy. There's not much they can do about it but eating it is absolutely disgusting!

I had a roommate that constantly picked her scalp among other things. needless to say, it wasn't long before I asked her to move out.

You're not allowed to eat on the DC Metro. Since you didn't have the cojones to call a Metro cop, you should have leaned in and said, "Betcha can't eat just one."
