A letter to the woman sitting on the bench at Osgoode Station last Friday

Dear Lady (and I use that term in the loosest possible sense),

Hygiene is important. Very important. However, I'm not sure that it's so vital that you need to haul out your nail clippers, and trim your nails while waiting for the subway.

I'm almost positive hygiene is not so vital that you need to take off your boots and socks, and trim your toe nails as well.

Judging from your attire, you likely have a home with a bathroom in which you could perform such tasks. Actually, I don't care where you do it, just so long as it's not within my line of sight.

Love, hugs, kisses and etiquette lessons,

Monsignor Vaga of the West Side Bond's

PS: Sadly, that's not the most disgusting thing I've seen in our subways.
