The disgusting moment a woman was caught licking the handrail of an escalator for several seconds was caught on camera.
30-year-old Jamie-lee McCabe from Kensington, Australia, was attending Melbourne Cup in the nearby city of Melbourne together with her friends when the group seemingly had a tad too much to drink.
While riding an escalator at the Flemington racecourse, the young woman suddenly leaned forward, stuck out her tongue, and licked the moving handrail while being filmed by her brother, Luke Peffer.
Speaking of her bizarre antics, McCabe later admitted the decision to lick the handrail wasn’t her best one yet because her mouth was left black from all the dirt she collected.
“I think I was licking down the side of it,” she said in an interview with Daily Mail Australia.
“I did have black s*** in my mouth by the end of it so I’m thinking it was also possibly part of the handrail.
“If I had it my way again, I would have steered completely clear of the handrail and just licked up the side.”
Peffer’s clip has since gone viral on TikTok where thousands of viewers were left “disgusted” and “horrified” by the woman’s act.
“Being a germaphobe, watching this made me wanna throw up omfg,” someone wrote.
“You’d have to pay me so much money to do that,” another said.
A third suggested: “That’s not only disgusting but also very selfish! Think of others that are going to use the handrail after you!”
While McCabe didn’t suffer any other consequences than a dirty mouth after licking the handrail, it admittedly took her a while to get over her hangover.
“I’m still recovering,” she said of the effects of her night out.
“I have been to the Melbourne Cup before and other races too and my behavior still remains the same. I mean, I thought this was pretty placid.”
