Title: A new social norm? Do YOU, pick your nose?

Since Cindy got her brand spanking new nails. I've discovered a little know social norm - of EPIC proportions.
Just sit in traffic on a normal day, and see how many people surreptitiously pick their nose to idle away those long hours in congestion, and you'll see what I mean.
So! Is this practice rife within OUR family here??
Enjoy (and STOP picking your nose) Remember what your Mother said!!

Imagine a big giant crusted ball of nose pickings.. yes some people have collections like that they have saved their picking for yrs and decades ..
noo not me..
i like to throw water up there and blow.. its like a complete wipeout
mine gets tons of dust up there for some reason and every morning i blow out a big old wad
Everybody is doing it, doing it, doing it
Picking their nose and chewing it, chewing it, chewing it
They think its candy but it's not, it's not, it's snot!

So. Please explain the mutation as to why we have 10 fingers and ONE nose, albeit with, two, nostrils. ;D :laugh:

Saying you've never picked your nose is kinda like saying you've never masturbated, but most folks just don't do it in public :P
One of my neighbors is a chronic nose picker, he sits in the lobby of the apt.s and not only picks his nose but he also picks at his skin, sticks his fingers in his ear and then will put all his fingers in his mouth... Then he wipes his hands on the furniture and fiddles about with the light switches, thermostats and other things :P
Needless to say I avoid touching anything in the lobby

WOW. Thanks princess Knight. Never really thought of it. Maybe I'm not ambidextrous. And apart from that, the profile of my toes don't conform to Jamie D's biological template.
Thank you for your precious outlook on such a hidden social norm. It really is of epidemic proportions

My dearest Devlyn,
I'm eternally indebted to you for taking this, what appeared to be a hidden social norm of epidemic proportions, to an all time new dimesion.
As I come from a humble middle income, Private school North Shore society, I was obviously raised in a protected family environment that excluded me from a more challenging down to earth experiences not including your "Snot Rocket" backyard sciences.
So I may have the opportunity to live life to the fullest, would you be so kind as to elaborate on this unique method of reducing body wastes?
Thanking you in advance for being able to express this educational phenomenon, so I may experience its joy and delights; perhaps.
Be safe, well and happy
Lotsa huggs
Catherine

Of course I pick my nose!
I cant stop.
it's a habit.
I've done it since I was a child.
My mom and her friend used to yell at me for rubbing the boogers on the carpet.
but
I didn't care.
I will pick my nose forever.

FYI - Another term for that method is a "farmer blow". You hear it a lot in the southern US states.
Sometimes you have to pick when you have one that's anchored way back in there with nose hair :D

Non-stop since a few years ago. I don't know what to do to any more, every time I say I'm not going to do it again, I find my finger on the same place. Sooner or later I'm going to put a "booger jar" on top of the desk and pay 1€ each time I do it.

Hi Everyone,
I'm pleased I'm back here again ............... nnooooottt.
Yet again to witness the demise of moral standards throughout the world through such anti social behaviour. Well, it's a know fact, all major crime started out as petty crime. You know, fingers in the penny jar.
"Bugga jars" on desktops. Thanks Apples for taking this to an all new level.
The reason I've returned is mainly for additional support. I wouldn't like to leave any stones unturned.
As you are aware this poll is totally anonymous. I applaud the 81% of you for being totally honest and wearing something more than you heart on your sleeve.
The 9% who are still in denial; well, probably time will catch up with you. You'll always have my love and support no matter what.
But it's the 9% of you that were undecided, that REALLY concern me. Part of that response offered assistance in finding your nose.
So to be as kind as possible without any embarrassment to anyone concerned, those representing the 9%, if you want to PM me with photos, I can return them with appropriate instructions and directions as to where you will find yours.
The poll will remain open, so if you decide to change your vote once you have discovered this unique apparatus and the obligatory joy in performing such disdainful duties (figures don't lie!! 81% of you can't be wrong)....... well then, the choice is yours.
I've done my bit for humanity through introducing you to other body organs you were unfamiliar with.
Look forward to your discrete responses.
Yours (bugga free)
Catherine
