Using your phone as a makeup mirror has become commonplace - I'm sure some of our members do that ...
Gosh - how can I do that?

It is uncouth to wear a sleeveless vest on it own (i.e. not under a shirt) indoors including on public transport.
An exception could reasonably be made in truly exceptional heat, but normally JUST DONT !

The weather was exceptionally hot yesterday ... but, yes, people's personal habits can be inconsiderate! Unbuttoning your shirt and spraying de-odourant into your armpits is another "please don't" for me; I was not quite so unhappy with the young lady who laid out a box of false nails on the Paris express the other week and proceeded to glue them all onto her finger nails. Using your phone as a makeup mirror has become commonplace - I'm sure some of our members do that, and there may be some things I do thoughtlessly that irritate others.
Also yesterday - a young lady who was quite pretty (am I allowed to say that?) when she arrived proceeded to "enhance" her lips with some sort of paint-on sickly looking layer that reflected light and left her looking very false indeed and far less pretty in my personal view. She the proceeded to break pieces off a chocolate wafer biscuit and had to open her mouth wide to stuff the pieces in without damaging the work she had done to her lips.

2. Strong trackside growth that means pictures taken from trains get blocked by foliage ...

That's a lovely little church overlooking a lake with beautiful hills all around
But then the modern day does allow up to take hundreds of pictures at a sensible price in the hope that some may come out OK ... and I am not averse to selecting the odd frame from a video occasionally.

Windows that reflect what's inside the carriage when you want to take a photo of the passing scenery - and don't open!
