...do men start carrying a handkerchief? I mean my grandfather always had one and so did my father. At what age should I start carrying one? :?

    when you have officially stopped caring whatsoever about getting laid.
    Everything not forbidden is compulsory and eveything not compulsory is forbidden. You are free... free to do what the government says you can do.

    so people still do this? I know my wife's dad does, and he's in his late 70's. But does the new crop of seniors do this?

    I was just talking about this with my mom the other day, how disgusting it is. Blow your nose, put it back in your pocket, then blow your nose again later with the same cloth. :sick:

    ugh ugh UGH! I hate hankies! My old math teacher did that...would be teaching, and honk his nose, go digging for gold and put it in his back pocket.

    reminds me of that new creepy 'cheapskate' show...one lady made her family use 're-useable TP' :sick:

    When I'm an old man I'll have a hanky. It's going to be the shirt of whoever happens to be standing next to me. What do I care? I'm an old man.

    I have been waiting for all handkerchief sales to cease. Who thinks it is a good idea to blow your nose on something and stick in back in your pocket. Repeatedly.
    Just plain fucking nasty. And you want to put the snot rag into your laundry with all of the other whites? So my Analog shirt can be green? :lol:

    I also agree with the above post's final conclusion -- if I do it when I am an old man, I wont care. I'll be an old man! (Clearly I will also be such a miser that I feel the need to save on kleenex costs.)

    This is when I do the "Index Finger Single Nostril Press" and blow. Repeat on the other side. Commonly known as the "Farmer Blow" in these parts.

    Typically only done outside........typically.

    We called it 'hockey snot' when I was growing up. Out on the ice you are always cold and nose would run....and for whatever reason it was perfectly acceptable to blow snot out onto the ice.

    i always carried a hankerchief when i was working construction in the summer.. but i only used it to wipe sweat off my head and face



    and yes, i am a master at the snot rocket :? :lol:
  • SuziemaySuziemay Posts: 11,168
    I personally find it very endearing when men carry hankies. OK, so I know it's gross to use the same piece of square repeatedly.

    I was going through a rough time a few years ago, was talking to a friend and just burst into tears. He handed me his hanky which I thought was the sweetest thing. Ever try to wipe tears with tissue? You just get tissue bits all over your face. The hanky was perfect and it smelled freshly laundered.

    Of course I didn't stop to think if he'd used it to wipe his snot right before etc etc.

    So maybe you should all carry hankies just in case you run into a damsel in distress in need of something soft to wipe away her tears. Just sayin :mrgreen::mrgreen:
