I'd ban oranges, chips and burgers from public transport. No one would be allowed to peel an orange or eat chips or burgers on buses or trains. I don't even mind an egg sandwich, but it's chips, oranges and burgers that smell in enclosed spaces. I travel a lot for work and my heart just sinks when someone opens chips on a train. And oranges just linger! Nice if you're eating them but horrible for anyone else.
Men on screen would have to have love interests their own age. Men would have to be paired up with women their age, or ten years older or younger. I always remember the Golden Globes in 2014 when Tina Fey joked that the film Gravity was "the story of how George Clooney would rather float away into space and die than spend one more minute with a woman his own age." That made me laugh so hard. I think the rule should be that on the whole men are paired with a love interest their age, or no more than a ten-year age gap either side. Sometimes you see a pairing and you think, Wow, that man is old enough to be her grandfather.
