Never explain yourself to anyone, because the person who likes you doesn't need it and the person that dislikes you won't believe it.
Hahaha! Omg!! If I have something in my nose I retreat to the restroom and use a tissue!! Even then I'm embarrased to blow my nose in front of strangers! I HAVE seen people do some pretty gross things in public tho!! Nose picking, crotch scratching, wedgy picking, scraping grim from under fingernails, scratching their scalp and then flinging the debris, ear wax digging and then wiping it on something that many other people will unwittingly touch!!!! YUCK!!! Some people need to be whipped by miss manners cause that's just nasty!!![]()

Even the greatest authority does not, ultimately, know you as you know yourself.

I picked (no pun) Shhh dont tell. But thats cause if I have to, I'll go into a bathroom with a tissue. No free picking here!![]()
Nose picking is bad enough but it's worse when the person chooses (for some ungodly reason) to ingest whatever morsel they had dug from the recesses of their nostrils.

I actually saw an article a couple of months back that said if you ingest your boogers, it helps boost your immune system. So obviously all the pickers and eaters are just trying to get the health benefits.![]()
Oh Hell, I won't eat them. Too salty.

I think everyone picks their nose at some time. I pick my nose. I just try not to do it when someone else is around.
Consider it recycling with attitude.
I'm a flicker/ wiper....NOT an eater! I find that blowing does NOTHING to help remove any snots from there. WHO CARES if you pick your nose....there are far worse habits![]()

There's nothing like picking your nose while driving, sure beats using the cell phone![]()
Please, please folks. In the interest of people's sensibilities.
Let's call it by a nice medical sounding name.

Any other ideas?
Nose picking: Rhinotillexomania, one of the more obscure and exotic terms in medicine.
"Rhinotillexomania" has drawn attention because of the habit to which it refers. It is "a recent term coined to describe compulsive nose picking" according to Chittaranjan Andrade and BS Srihari who studied nose-picking behavior in a sample of 200 adolescents and discovered that "almost the entire sample admitted to nose picking, with a median frequency of 4 times per day..." (J Clin Psychiatry 2001;62:426-431). The authors conclude that "Nose picking is common in adolescents. It is often associated with other habitual behaviors." The authors propose that: "Nose picking may merit closer epidemiologic and nosologic scrutiny."

I don't know about "habitual" nose pickers. I can simply say that if I got something in my nose...I'm gonna pick it out....before it reveals itself on its own.
"Hey baby....here's a buck for ya...yeah, rub those pretty boobs on my...what? I have a what? Oh...hang on...there...continue...."

LOL...this thread cracks me up!!
I will blow my nose...but, sometimes you have the "grippers" which won't come out for any reason (you know...the ones that are sticking up there and you can feel 'em). Then, you just gotta go in after them. :shrugs: You gotta do, what you gotta do.
The other day, my daughter was picking her nose...and she got a booger on her finger and goes, "Ewwww...boogie." Then proceeds to walk straight over to scorpio with finger in the lead and goes, "Daddy...taste?" I just about died laughing. She wants to see Daddy do/taste something before she'll do it...LOL
Doctors at the Mario Clinic in Franz, New Mexico have determined that boogeroucious pelletious, commonly known as boogers, may actually contain all of the daily nutrients needed by the human body.
Professer Holcum Bigun PHd. DDS, ENh & SOb, head of the Nose Of Plenty Project at Eastwood College, announced the results of their studies to the AMA last week at the National Ear Nose and Throat Convention. "It's possible that the olfactory system of a single human being, with a serious cold, could feed an entire family of four, said Dr. Bigun to the attendees. There is certainly no reason why any community should sucumb to famine, when each individual can produce enough edible pellets to sustain his own body for several weeks."
The study also seems to suggest an explanation for the increased incidence of obesity in modern day America. Using hidden video cameras, reseachers followed a test group of fat people around and witnessed them eating boogers in the comfort of their cars. A control group of big dudes were only allowed to eat sugar, implanted in their noses to simulate boogers. The control group did loose weight, but over time they developed more tooth decay.
Dr. Willie Pickett OB/Gyn. attended the convention, and had nothing but big props for the Eastwood College findings. "This could be the most important medical finding in decades. It holds amazing promise. Treating obesity is now a simple matter of getting people to stop picking their noses. It will become as easy to treat as smoking cessation".
Sarath Batugedera, a visiting professor from Sri Lanka is the lone critic of the new findings." This is most surely junk science, he said. The only reason that the boogers of Americans are so nutritious is because of the highly nutritious diet available here in the United States. Many of the folks in third world countries routinely eat their boogers, but because their diets are not as rich in nutritional value to begin with as Americans, their boogers do not yield any nutritional value. Thus the people are still starving. Perhaps Americans may learn to harvest their nutritious boogers and export them to other countries, but I doubt that the world will welcome the new product."
The FDA and the US Surgeon General's office has made no comment, but are said to be studying the findings.

Quote time! Any of you Seinfeld fans remember this classic? :
"An' what if I did do it? Even though I admit to nothing, and never will, what does that make me? And I'm not here just defending myself but all those pickers out there who've been caught. Each an' every one of them, who has to suffer the shame and humiliation because of people like you."
