It was a packed train and we were all squeezed in together, as usual during the peak hour commute. There must have been one commuter, an elderly gentleman who must have suffered with bad breath…I’ve seen him around quite a few times before and he seems the type to keep himself to himself, a very quiet chap. There was this particularly rude person (a young woman) who was standing right behind me, who then proceeded to turn around and say “Your breath is fucking bad, haven’t you heard of mouthwash? you fucking wanker”
Everyone in the carriage turned around and gasped in utter amazement…if you know British culture and society (where nobody talks on the train and people are generally reserved)…another guy in the train who was standing next to the woman then called her a bitch or something and they got into a shouting match…it all got pretty heated until a couple of other passengers intervened. The old guy was standing quietly, watching the argument.
I don’t know if his breath was THAT bad, so that in the absence of pheros this young lady would have proceeded to tell him, but what I can say is that they certainly seemed to remove that “reservedness” that typically exists.
I’ll have to try Honesty x4 on the train again. I’d given up trying to get a reaction out of the mannequins standing mute in the gangway on the morning commute. Those smugly sitting down were equally impervious to it.
You’re right. No-one talks or even glances at the person next to them or sat opposite.
I got a reaction once with a heavy dose of Spaceland, but that was it.
oh i had seen some interesting reactions to people around me on my train rides commuting…but what I found is it usually effects people in conversations already with other people…not when people are in their own world ignoring other people
in other words..if people do not want to talk..they won’t start
As far as traveling wearing pheromones, it’s hard to tell about peoples reactions, sometimes. The woman who commented about his bad breath may not have been so inclined if it weren’t for the Honesty…dunno.
Also as far as not picking up on reactions…when people travel, especially commuters…remember they’re in the zone, ya know what I mean? Half of 'em are in a coma and the other half are asleep with their eyes open… or their minds are someplace else. They’re not really present in the moment. They don’t notice sh*t. Maybe if ya knocked 'em up side the head with a ten gallon drum of espresso.
If you’re looking to open the mannequin people for chatter, try Instant Openness. It moves the conversation along without creating the gravity that Honesty can, sometimes, bring…and maybe add a spray or two of P74 and a little Shine to go with.
lol wildflower, I’m not a brit, I at times feel I am. I recognize with the brits and at times feel the same way towards america… We are in real barney lol
Manchester United all the way, If they are not playing im not watching.
You ever notice how people with doodoo mouth always seem to have a lot they wanna talk about … right up in your face!? I think they do it on purpose! I’ve developed the eye rub … it’s garanteed to save your nose hair! Just take your hand, cover your nose, and use your first finger and thumb to rub under both eyes. It works, but if you enjoy seeing your nose hair falling onto your chest and the floor …
OR! You can tilt your head away, so that it hits you in the jaw!
OR! You can wear a nice dose of IH, and just hand’em two or three tick tacs! If they decline, say, “No, really!”
I was actually reading on some linguist’s blog the other day about the word “wanker” gaining currency in the US, as it goes.
From Wanker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - An episode of the U.S. comedy Mork & Mindy featured a character called Oliver Wanker and led to severe editing when the commercial network ITV originally broadcast it in Britain; when the more liberal Channel Four rebroadcast it some years later, it was aired unedited.
I remember that one - much lolz were had But that was from the 70s I guess, when the word/name was probably used in all innocence in the States (and they unintentionally caused a watercooler/playground TV sensation over here). I think the UK & Australian meaning is catching on more though.
Yeah, it’s a double edged sword! With the right sort of people, it’s really awesome for helping rapport building though.
