It's not just women, it's california commuters
I live in ca for 12 years, had to commute downtown LA for 7 years.
I saw guys shaving, people eating a bowl of cheerios, yes make up too, reading newpapers/magazines, etc.,
On my way home from the beach, my girl friend gave me , uhhhhhhhh, never mind.
Anyway, thank god I lived there before the advent of cellphones.
