5. Trying To Act Casual Next To Someone Eating A Sandwich

Oh, crumbs. The person who decided to sit next to you on the train has decided they're going to crack open their baguette, which is of course, perfectly legal; but it doesn't stop the mini panic attack every time you see the devilish morsels of gluten falling to the seat from their lips.

Pour yourself a peppermint tea, and try not to kill anyone.
