I just gotta ask - what the hell is with you nose

PICKERS!!!
Yes, NOSE PICKERS.
Do you know how many male executives - top level guys like Presidents and CFOs - sit at their desk and pick their nose when they think no one is watching?! I've seen them, I've worked for them!

Do you know how many guys I see everyday in their cars and trucks picking their nose while driving, or while sitting at a stoplight? What the hell is the attraction anyway? Even my ex used to when he thought I wasn't looking.

I'm not even gonna start on the ones that go to their mouths..... SICKENING :x

And I know none of you guys on here are going to confess.

But I just HAVE to ask..... What IS UP with this horrible habit?

(sorry, but I had to look at one too many today in traffic and it SET ME OFF)

    i guess its human nature. only in the las few hundred yezrs have we had something to blow our noses with. like a dog that lick his balls.

    I pick once in a while. In my car, in my living room in front of the window, fuck it, nobody wants boogers in their nose! The only place I won't do it is at work. If one of my students saw me, I'd be screwed. There was a teacher in my elementary school named Mr. Files and legend had it not only did he pick, but he flinged! I still remember that booger pickin' bastard 20 years later!

    I guess I don't get why you have to do it in public. Go into the bathroom and do it in the privacy of a stall or whatever.

    And FLINGING them, oh dear God!

    This is why I refuse to eat at any smorgasbord type restaurant, no salad bars etc. :lol:

    I think people think no one can see them when they are in the car. Like they think they are in an enclosed room or something.

    And yeah, sometimes you just have to clean house.

    I understand the cleaning house, I really do. But I can sit in traffic and look at someone next to me, or behind me, and they're just in hog heaven with that finger half way to their brains.

    I've noticed it spans all socio-economic groups and all age ranges and just seems to be a guy thing. I don't want to see that! Just like you don't want to be around people who have gas! :o

    I swear, the ones who REALLY get me are the big exec types that wear $1000 suits everyday. They'll just be picking away - AND LOOKING AT IT - sitting at their big mahogany desks.... :lol::lol::lol:
    CRACKS ME UP
    Go in your damn executive washroom. Don't get that shit on stuff you're handing me!!!!!!!! :shock:

    Sorry for being so crude but I just don't get why they take the chance on someone seeing them. Then they act like there's NO WAY THEY'D be doing something so crass in public. :lol::lol::lol:

    you think it's just men?
    granted, i believe most women are a LOT more discreet....but yea, i highly doubt it is a male-only phenomena. that said, i think many simply think no one is looking/can see them...and sure, some don't care! :shock:




    and damn weenie...i honestly don't know why, but i thought you were a guy.... :oops: apologies.....
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow

    the real question is whats so gross about it? as long as youre not eating it - its just regular maintainance... its pretty standard bodily mucus mixed with a little dirt... depends where you stick it when youre done too

    no one wants a nose full of boogers interferring with good breathing

    get off your high horse :P

    When I was young, my mom used to tell me women didn't fart, they "fluffed", I called bullshit on her numerous times...That doesn't erally have anything to do with this convo, but I just thought of it.

    I guess my point is that we all do these things. 8-)

    Yeah, that is the polite thing to do, for sure.

    But just be happy that you only see pickign and not as much "farmers blowing" (or at least that's what I've always called it).

    i aint gonna lie, there's no better feeling of thinking you have a tiny flake of a booger to pick; then out comes this massive hunk of boudler booger with a snotty entrail....kinda the same feeling of finding a 20 dollar bill in the wash.

    if I'm in car and i've got that shit up my nose, it's coming out.

    My question is, who wants to keep all that dust,dirt, and grime in their nose just because they're in public or on a roadway passing by people they've never seen before and never will see again.

    If I have the opportunity to be discreet or do in private, then no problem, but if that opportunity isn't available then it's fair game.

    That's f'n great! :lol:

    I had a discussion with a friend not long ago about whether or not it was socially acceptable to pick in public...I was leaning toward 'not'....this thread is making me reconsider. You people are some real miners.

    I got caught at my desk a while ago....it's a tall, private cubicle with a walkway between the partition wall and a window....maintenance worker was outside my office window....looked up, finger knuckle-deep, and there he was, smilin at me :D
