From Repulsed Rider:
Have you had any reports about the Yellow Line Spitter?Other items:
There is a woman who my colleagues and I see all the time on the Yellow Line in the mornings.
She rides from Mt. Vernon to Pentagon City around 8 and constantly snorts, clears her throat, hocks up loogies, sticks her finger in her mouth to get them, and them flicks them on the wall of the car.
She always sits in the last car near the back on the right side.
People get up and move to the other end of the car when they see her, and she gets more dirty looks than you can imagine, but she's always seemingly oblivious and often engrossed in a crossword puzzle.
When she leaves, there is snot all down the wall by her seat.
We've started calling her the Yellow Line Spitter for lack of a better name.
It's really repulsive, but I guess we're all too polite to say something to her, and/or morbidly fascinated that someone would do something like that.
Just curious if you've heard other people talk about her.
Sadly, I know her by face now, so I know when to find another seat.

But this isn't someone merely making things unpleasant for other riders like a parent who lets their kids run around screaming, or someone who risks the train offloading because they're too impatient to wait for the next train. This is a health issue and needs to be dealt with. If this woman is a repeat offender, people need to take pictures and report her. If she's on the same trains around the same time every day, catching her should be a little easier.

Perhaps someone should offer her a small pack of kleenex and say, "Would you please use these instead of flicking your phlegm at the wall? It is very unpleasant and unsanitary." Maybe if she knew that she had been noticed, the behavior would stop?

This happened from Metro Center to Friendship Heights. She was hacking at the windows for most of the ride and then ducked behind the seats when I started shooting.
Is she the same person as the Yellow Line Spitter? Or are there multiple spit threats in the system?

Just like the GOP of today, the GOP of the 80s was all about cutting services to those who need help the most because it will help the bottom line of their corporate friends.

It's a picture of a whole puddle of lugies that I saw while riding the train that day. My 3 year old daughter almost stepped in it. Maybe I should have put her in a stroller. ;)

As for the woman hacking on the Red Line train, wonder if she's got some nasty respitratory illness that she can't get treated because she's poor/homeless/whatever. Granted, I've had issues coughing when I've been sick, but it's not like it's every freaking morning.
