“For reasons of hygiene please do not wash the teeth.” I came across this sign in a public toilet in Milan. What disturbed me about this was not the bad translation from Italian to English but more the thought of people actually cleaning their teeth in a public toilet. And, what’s more concerning is that people were partaking in this activity so frequently that it was necessary to ban this. I had never seen anyone wash or brush their teeth in public before, until yesterday. I witnessed a woman standing within licking distance of the mirror happily spraying it with her saliva and toothpaste as she furiously removed her breakfast, lunch and mid afternoon snack from her furry canines. Is this normal behaviour outside a dentist surgery? And why was I so caught off guard that I apologised to the woman, as if I had just walked in on her on the toilet with her pants round her thick ankles? I bet it was the same woman who took a highly audible dump in the cubicle next to me last week. Surely with the invention of the chewable toothbrush there is no need to do this? Or, as per usual, am I just too easily repulsed? I guess I can add brushing teeth in public (and subsequently showering the mirror with gubbings and food bits) to my possibly irrational list of issues I really need to address and which include, but are not restricted to, the following: Adults in Disney clothing Wooden spoons Ponchos Victoria Beckham Cork wedge shoes People chewing loudly and vigorously Rustlers at the cinema Public pooping Scooped neck jumpers on men, sans T Shirts Dirty nails Lee Ryan Two tone, leather Head bags circa 1990 Men with shiny silver buckles on their patent shoes Freshly plucked eyebrows Chopping boards Jumpers that double as dresses Blue tattoo All manners of lyrca including leggings, swimsuits and wetsuits Nudity Side ponytails While this is not an exhaustive list, I think I've more than demonstrated that yes, this chick has issues :-) And so I go attempt to tame my curls in order to reclaim my peripheral vision.
