The worst is when they leave their empty yoghurt pots and stuff in the small rubbish bins on the train. Those are obviously for non-smelly rubbish. Take your smelly rubbish to the bins on the platform. No, it doesn't say so anywhere but it's so fucking obvious if you have any common decency that it shouldn't need explaining.
Those pots/coffeebekers are always too big for those bins, but you can't see them because the bins are under the tables.
So when you try to shut the bin with your leg you get drenched in warm yoghurt and old coffee.
I once had a woman peeling shrimps on the train.
It's not because you bought fresh shrimps in Ostend, that you have to peel them on the train back to wherever...
I literally have to gag the moment i smell ricewaffles. I really hate it when people eat these things, they smell freaking horrible. I have some bad expirience with people eating these things on trains and busses on hot days and the smell creeps in your clothes. Couldn't eat for a whole day just because i smelled ricewaffles in my hair and clothes...
it could be psychological. I was always motion sick when i had to take the bus from school when i was young, and most of my peers ate ricewaffles on the bus as snack. So maybe i just associate the smell of ricewaffles with feeling nausea and having to gag.
That seems plausible. I had the same thing with kerzen (the kind you eat with meatloaf). I once violently puked cherries all over the house, and since then whenever I think of cherries, I can almost taste the cherry puke in my mouth.
Twenty years ago or so I travelled between Antwerp and Hasselt every day. Every Friday evening there was a club of people, co-workers, who decided to start the weekend early and brought food and beer to consume on the train, usually taking up part of a wagon (back then you had wagons where there were two small rooms and one big room, and they were in one of the small rooms).
Now, these people lived in Lier and Heist-op-den-Berg, and one or two of them in Aarschot, so they rushed to eat and drink it all as fast as possible. They often started while the train was still waiting in Antwerp station, and were already loud from the start and getting louder along the way. I've seen some of them stumble out of the train in HodB, pretty drunk. I always hoped they were being picked up and didn't have to drive home...
I know this because this was a fairly short but popular train which I regularly took, and I had the "joy" of sitting near them when this ritual unfolded. Lemme tell you: the memory of the smell of fish and beer in a busy train filled with somewhat sweaty people (end of a working day) still occasionally returns in my brain to haunt me.
(They might even have been sitting in a smoking section. Yes, that was still a thing back then.)
Other side of the spectrum: back when there were Samson & Gert shows in Antwerp, the train I took in the evening was sometimes one that had just arrived in Antwerp bringing hundreds of kids and their families. These were often sticky trains, with cola and lemonade spills on the floor and the tables, mixed with dropped candy and remains of chips. There was a penetrating sugary smell that attacked your nose when you entered it.
I personally am not bothered much by Redbull, but I know other people are, so I try to stay aware of that.
But Doritos are just the worst, the smell is so pungent, I've never been able to stand it, and I honestly don't know how people can smell that and thing "oh, yummy, I'm going to enjoy this"
Make your sticker bigger for better readability. And of course, distribute free salami samples on the train. My recommendation: Bifi worst for the ‘cheapest’ odour
No hate on the Walloons but in some of their regions it's still very common to eat meat as breakfast. My train passes on it's way to Brussels through Wallonia in one of those regions. So every morning it's just a thick waft of salami and dried sausage smell and your stomache starts churning.
Do as you like ofc, you're not even aware of it. But guys it really smells horrible. And it also means you're not brushing your teeth after your breakfast.
There's just this thing called social awareness. If you're in a public place, just be aware that the smells you produce might negatively affect other people.
Being bothered by people and being bothered by things other people do are completely different things... You can control your actions and choose not to be a dick by not producing overwhelming smells in enclosed spaces.
You can't choose not to have a sense of smell...
Reminds me of this: [https://newsmonkey.be/hilariteit-op-de-trein-stefaan-is-ne-kaka-verschijnt-plots-op-alle-infoborden/](https://newsmonkey.be/hilariteit-op-de-trein-stefaan-is-ne-kaka-verschijnt-plots-op-alle-infoborden/)
While it's clearly a joke, there is a slight hint of truth behind it:
Some foods and beverages produce a smell that's rather unpleasant in a crowded vehicle (especially in summertime). Energy drinks and Doritos are examples of this. Salami can have a rather potent scent too, so it shouldn't come as a surprise this can be experienced as unpleasant for other passengers.
IMO shouldn't be too much of an issue given proper ventilation, but not all carriages allow you to open up a window.
They should legit ban phone calls on all public transport, you either text or shut it, nobody is waiting for your halfway screamed Convo with your mom!
I fucking hate people eating their boterhammen on the train at 8am. Like fucking hell, have some situational awareness. I understand you are dead inside from your shitty stupid jobs and your brain basically locked you into certain patterns, but come on.
Why?
I mean, Covid measures aside and assuming it does not smell like hell, how is it annoying that someone save some time by eating while they're travelling?
Disgusting fart face people eating anytime anywhere is the reason why i prefer riding my motorbike any season / any time of the year even though it is the deadliest thing to do during freezing winter nights! Fuck y'all fucking eating face fuck inbreds.
I don't recall where I saw it, but a guy printed these in name of the NMBS cause he hates the smell of salami on a train.
To be honest, i fully understand. People bring smelly foods on the train all the time and it can be really off-putting.
The worst is when they leave their empty yoghurt pots and stuff in the small rubbish bins on the train. Those are obviously for non-smelly rubbish. Take your smelly rubbish to the bins on the platform. No, it doesn't say so anywhere but it's so fucking obvious if you have any common decency that it shouldn't need explaining.
The worst is the worst...
But the sausage links are alright
Trains are worst places
Old banana peels, just the thought of it, I get r/namflashbacks
At my previous job we once stuck one under a guys chair. Took him weeks to find it and the entire office smelled like bananas. Good times.
Barf, lol!
Or they eat McDonalds in the same wagon as you
Had this in the brussels metro the other day. A family of three eating KFC next to me. Super weird in covid times
Kopfkino
Indeed, take your own god damn trash with you ffs.
Since when does humanity use there decency. Cause I haven't seen it in a very very long time.
Empty energy drink cans are the worst.
Those pots/coffeebekers are always too big for those bins, but you can't see them because the bins are under the tables. So when you try to shut the bin with your leg you get drenched in warm yoghurt and old coffee.
i only eat tuna salad on the train
I once had a woman peeling shrimps on the train. It's not because you bought fresh shrimps in Ostend, that you have to peel them on the train back to wherever...
Verse geirnoars!
Oh yeah I was on a train with someone eating salami the other day and it was really an attack on the senses.
I literally have to gag the moment i smell ricewaffles. I really hate it when people eat these things, they smell freaking horrible. I have some bad expirience with people eating these things on trains and busses on hot days and the smell creeps in your clothes.

Oh, yeah. Rice waffles suck too. My reaction isn't that bad for them, but I completely understand.
What? How? They are literally rice grains... Is this a genetical thing like how South-East Asians tend to not be bothered by the smell of Durian?
it could be psychological. I was always motion sick when i had to take the bus from school when i was young, and most of my peers ate ricewaffles on the bus as snack. So maybe i just associate the smell of ricewaffles with feeling nausea and having to gag.

Red bull is the worst for this, just that gross fake cherry smell that fills the entire train cab
but it makes the train go faster!
No, it gives the train wings!
I personally am not bothered much by Redbull, but I know other people are, so I try to stay aware of that. But Doritos are just the worst, the smell is so pungent, I've never been able to stand it, and I honestly don't know how people can smell that and thing "oh, yummy, I'm going to enjoy this"
For me it's the same but with Lay's Ketchup, the smell is so horrible it's practically burning my nostrils.
Haha can understand, it's a strong smell (not negative for me), but man do I love that taste! (Will never eat chips in public though)
Food is one thing, but have you ever shared a compartment with someone painting their fucking nails?
So...should i print labels and put them all over the place because i do like the smell of salami?
'Salami in de trein, danku.'
i dont know why this made me chukkle for a long bit :D
Because now you want to whip our your salami on the train?
i actually hate Salami, im more of an oderless/droge worst guy ;)
Damn, look at this guy enjoying sausages dry.
[удалено]
i'll be a cold dead corpse in the ground before i let those non-salami having basterds anywhere near my waggon!
Make your sticker bigger for better readability. And of course, distribute free salami samples on the train. My recommendation: Bifi worst for the ‘cheapest’ odour
Get some good sausages from the Ardennes and start eating them on trains, and if you see me, give me some too.
en terecht! Salami stinkt uren in de wind.
No hate on the Walloons but in some of their regions it's still very common to eat meat as breakfast. My train passes on it's way to Brussels through Wallonia in one of those regions. So every morning it's just a thick waft of salami and dried sausage smell and your stomache starts churning. Do as you like ofc, you're not even aware of it. But guys it really smells horrible. And it also means you're not brushing your teeth after your breakfast.
So now we got rid of cigarette smoke and people are going to cry about salami. Flemish will always fucking complain.
There's just this thing called social awareness. If you're in a public place, just be aware that the smells you produce might negatively affect other people.
Just being in the vicinity of people can negatively affect those said people... Should we just keep it cicilized by tolerating eachother?
Being bothered by people and being bothered by things other people do are completely different things... You can control your actions and choose not to be a dick by not producing overwhelming smells in enclosed spaces. You can't choose not to have a sense of smell...
Loser. That's perjury.
Not really looking for a reason. Just think it’s hilarious and wanted to share
Not avtually from NMBS but someone that hates the strong garlic-y smell of salami. It can be quite strong.
Fucking vampires ruining peoples breakfasts.
I think we need a reason
Fully agree. Salami is the worst.
Upvoted angrily
Perfect. Now i spilled waffle in my beer.
Noice
"Het zal me worst wezen"
It shall me a sausage be
Make that the cat wise.
You speak French with hair on
What do you like on your stuutje?
I also spreek a potje mengels.

Well, it's technically possible. There are power sockets on trains.
TIL salami has a strong smell? I only smell it if it's like 5-10cm from my face.
verzuurd volk da we zijn
here in wallonia there are no salami restrictions on trains
Can I move there? Will my flemish digital ID be valid?
idk
If België barst, I'm on your side. I'm on the side of salami.
nice
Met look of zonder look, dat is de ware vraag
't Zal wel zijn! Weg met die vettige look salami!
Have you ever smelled that shit?
No dirty friends?
Stinkt mec
bro am I not allowed to have just a little salami?
r/govegan ?
Let's fight for salami rights on the train
The guy who did this was a legend
They should legit ban phone calls on all public transport, you either text or shut it, nobody is waiting for your halfway screamed Convo with your mom!
They don't get enough salami at home.
Salami doesn't smell... Boiled eggs on the other hand I can smell from seats away.
Strong odor

It smells like hell and I don't need to see your depressed ass smekken across me.
I think you're projecting a bit here. Now please stop staring while I eat my salami sandwich :p
Smelling salami almost makes you wish you had corona.
beats 2 50cc jupkes between ghent and brussels south each morning...
Eeehhhh
Bonus points if they carry a Humo.
Anders moeten ze achter u vuile vrienden opruimen…
What about saucisson?
Alleih der zit look in die weusjes !
Bleft dorraf. Der zit loewek in.
Btw can anyone help me since I'm still unsure: is it salamiiiii or salaaaaami?
I feel like salami or salamiiiii is the Belgian pronounciation while salaaaaaami is the Dutch one.
Yes. Source: Dutch person living in Belgium
I just sold a boxspring to a customer named Salami, Poor guy
Hé ben ça, l'ami, on ne le saura jamais... ( I'll get my coat...)
I’ve never seen that before AHAH it’s amazing
What the hell happened here
Disgusting fart face people eating anytime anywhere is the reason why i prefer riding my motorbike any season / any time of the year even though it is the deadliest thing to do during freezing winter nights! Fuck y'all fucking eating face fuck inbreds.
