Today, on my metro ride home, I sat next to a woman who thought it was appropriate to continually scratch at her scalp and then eat her 'scalp pickings'. When I looked over at her hair, I could see scabs clumped together from her previous scratching sessions. FML
kekeroos tells us more.
While it is a public system and I'm bound to encounter plenty of 'weird' people, I would still never expect a 50 something year old professional woman to be picking at her scalp and then eating whatever it is she picks out. And while none of her pickings ended up on me, one good head shake would have changed that very quickly. It would have been Christmas in my lap in May!

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

It's called trichotillomania/dermatillomania and it's a branch of OCD, but it's still pretty sad that she would do it in public.

Dermatillomania: the compulsion to pick at the skin and sometimes eat what is picked. A psychiatric condition which forms spontaneously, from trauma, etc. Made worse by stress, often a byproduct of OCD. Often uncontrollable.
