You can get a 40 Franc fine for eating or drinking on public transport in Switzerland.
I worked with a chap once who grabbed a macdonald's just before he boarded his flight and stank out the whole plane. The other passengers were not best pleased.

The worst thing is sitting across from someone who eats or chews gum with their mouth open and with accompanying sound effects.

Then this morning at London Bridge this woman gets on with a full burger king combo and plonks herself down next to me and tucks in - at 7.30AM for chrissake!
I'm starting to sound like Victor Meldrew so I'll pack it in now.
rant over.
The train I can understand.... it's the people who get a salad or Mac D's out on the tube, with all the crap flying around like the dandruff from that fat sweaty bloke who insists on standing in front of the door with the open window

May as well say "I am a moron".

I had a kfc on the train last week. Got abuse from some teenage girls (in a fairly good-natured, humorous way) when I dropped some of it on the floor. I'd had 10 pints after work though
