Channel Nine star Deb Knight has expressed surprise at a common habit on public transport.
The veteran reporter addressed the Nine Honey website write an opinion piece about a recent bus trip you took.
The trip started well, he said, because it was just after the morning rush hour, so he had plenty of seats to choose from.
But trouble arose when another passenger decided to consume a particularly fragrant meal behind her.
‘A strong smell began to emanate from some seats behind. “It wasn’t from someone’s body, but from take-out hot curry that this passenger simply couldn’t wait to consume,” Deb said.
But the A Current Affair weekend host also thought about the man’s traveling companions the next day.
“It was bad enough having to smell his lunch the entire trip, but with the intensity of what he was eating, it would probably be worse to be around him on the trip the next day.”
Deb continued her rant, wondering why people think “it’s okay to share the smell of (your) lunch with up to 100 people.”

The television presenter also extended her complaint to moviegoers who bring takeaway food to movie theaters.
‘Indulge in sharing the smell of your popcorn or chocolate, but please eat your Thai or KFC takeaway before sitting down in the tight, airless space of a movie theater. Those smells don’t disappear quickly,’ he complained.
It comes as Deb quashed rumors she was involved in the scandal surrounding Georgie Gardner’s on-set row with a young producer last month.
‘A strong smell began to emanate from some seats behind. “It wasn’t from someone’s body, but from take-out hot curry that this passenger simply couldn’t wait to consume,” Deb said.
Gardner, 54, reportedly slapped a young female producer in a crushing outburst and told her to “grow up!” during a fight over scripts.
Channel Nine’s rumor mill went into crisis in September amid suggestions that respected financial journalist Deborah Knight was the source of a complaint to management about Gardner’s alleged tirade.
But the A Current Affair weekend presenter was keen to set the record straight when Daily Mail Australia approached her about the cruel whisper campaign.
“We actually pre-recorded Saturday’s show A Current Affair so I wasn’t there that night,” he told Daily Mail Australia.
“I just hope everyone involved is okay.”
He added: “I am not aware of any alleged incident and have raised absolutely nothing with Nine Management.”
False gossip about Knight’s alleged involvement had been circulating on Nine for days, fueled by the fact that she once co-hosted the Today show with Gardner.
