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 crazy to think what is even going through that person's mind while eating that shit..

that's an actual mental disorder. it's called trichotillomania.

Actually the definition of Trichotillomania is, "the compulsive urge to pull out one's own hair leading to noticeable hair loss, distress, and social or functional impairment". So it's definitely not that!

No, it's called dermotillomania. Trich is something different.

I have a strong stomach for stuff but ya i wanted to throw up!
