What’s the name of the sticks? Do they work, or do you smell like beef and onion crisps?

I went with Fussy.

They do work but there is a period of smelling a little meaty, I think this is true for any natural deodorant. This wasn't helped by me choosing the mint flavoured one first and smelling like a roast dinner.
I would caveat that Im a desk jockey so not putting them under the same tests as you will with work.

The fragrances are all natural smelling as well so more like an Original Source shower gel than other deodorants.

I live alone, to clarify.

I've grown to love my evening musk tbh. Sometimes I just sit here and pull my t-shirt up over my nose and enjoy. I'm gonna make someone a v.lucky woman one day.

I'm sure we can make you look fabulous darling.

It's that time again folks, let's play Train Cunts!

Bought a hugely overpriced bottle of lucozade sport to go with my Viz, as is my pre-departure ritual. Put bottle in side compartment of bag (those outside ones). Train arrives, get on, train is quiet, nice. Sit down put bags up, lucozade is gone. Fucksake. Check the side pocket, small hole in it, maybe big enough for the bottle but maybe not. I don't think it was stolen as I walked but it must've fallen out. The cunt part comes in because there were several people walking behind me as happens when trains start boarding, no one called out or anything. I've chased after people before when things have dropped out of their bags, it's just a nice things to do isn't it? My thirst quenching train treat was either stolen, or fell out and ignored by my fellow humans. Either way, cunts.

Doesn't end there tho, there's two cunts sat right behind me now, in the quiet zone carriage, talking and laughing somewhat loudly. One fellow train cunts sufferer to my left has already said to them politely "I don't want to be rude but this is the quiet zone, you may not have seen" to which these I'm The Main Character cunts went oh ok, quieted down for about 10 seconds before starting to talk again, quietly at first, but their volume is rising slowly to previous levels and I'm like some train frog boiling to death in a train cunts water. I really dislike confrontation and am hoping me looking back frequently with a scowl is going to do the trick. Maybe I should just stand up and take my shirt off and square up, I could definitely take them both at the same time, they're about 18 or so and rah-y girls.

(I won't do this, I'm going for the pacifist achievement in Life)

Am I unreasonable for expecting the quiet zone to mean zero talking, like does it mean a bit of talking if you're quiet enough?

talking quietly in quiet zone = acceptable. talking and laughing loudly = not acceptable. 

I don't think it's a confrontation to tell them this. One fellow passenger was already brave enough to do so and they quietened down. You do it too, and the weight of social pressure will probably be too much for them to bear. They'll either be quiet for a longer period (after which you'll have to once again tell them to be quiet, sorry) or they'll move.

Yeah I raised my head, let out an audible sigh and said in a clear voice, not shouting but not hushed, "this is the quiet zone". They've since shut up.

I'd rather be in a noisier standard carriage than a slightly noisy Quiet Zone. The lack of respect for the rules wpuld annoy me more than the noise.

Fuck
Those
People!

You might get to experience my biggest pet peeve. Parents who hand a toddler a tablet on full volume to keep them quite in a public place. I'd rather the kid was screaming it's head off than listen to cbeebies.

I've seen these out in the wild, I know exactly how you feel.

Agree completely, the noise doesn't actually bother me that much but I would prefer silence, it's the total lack of respect for the rules and your fellow peoples.

One of these fuckers has my lucozade I'm now certain of it. I was really looking forward to that ice cold, orange refresh.

Bet its the toddler mate go and rummage through the pram the little twat

Can get another Lucozade at least.

What would George Bestial do in this situation

Could mk fuck up a rolled up Viz, that's the real question.
