Should I just ignore this and be kind?

[tdn]

Dear Booger McGhee,

Seek professional help.

Seriously.

[The Devil's Grandmother]

Dear Booger McGhee,

Seek professional help. Both of the medical and cleaning variety.

NOW.

[Kimballkid]

Dear SDMB,

You're judging me, just like everybody else!!

Maddeningly,

Booger McGhee

[Zsofia]

I'm still curious, though - how exactly did you identify the mysterious... items as boogers? Are you sure they weren't, say, exceptionally large skin flakes or something?

[yellowval]

Boogers and skin flakes don't taste the same. (Skin flake sandwich is also not nearly as entertaining.)

ETA: Although I do think Skin Flake Sandwich would make a great band name.

They were kinda that moldy-off-greenish color (I can't believe I just said that, haha). And they looked like boogers, I suppose. Some were small, kind of smears, others were obscenely large, like the one on the side of the toilet paper roll. That was pretty bad.

I see them stuck to walls in public toilets all the time. I never get why anyone would want to wipe them on a wall.

[Arabella Flynn]

You know, I've noticed that whenever someone has no or very few friends, there's a reason for that. It might not be a very good reason, and you won't know until you check somehow, but the reason does exist.

This is a very very good reason. If the boogers don't count as one per se, then her reaction to you mentioning them certainly does. Ew.

[Zulema]

This is so extremely bizarre. She's either whacko or she's doing a psychology study. How new was her apartment to her because really that sounds like years worth of accumulation. She intentionally has boogers all over to gross people out. casual booger depositers usually . . . . I can't be here any more. This topic is making me sick.

I said no no, of course not, and before I could finish my sentence, she laid into me by saying I was just like every other rude person out there, I had no right to judge her, and she apparently hopes I die alone somewhere. She stormed out of the restaurant and left me with the bill.

Sounds like she just got her nose out of joint.

My boogers are never green...<sigh>...my life is just plain dull.

The other weird thing about that thread was the fact that the mother in law's whole group of friends supposedly had bad hygiene/pooped anywhere...I don't even want to imagine.

This is what I'm taking about when I saw mental illness can be shameful!

Freedom's just another word for nothing up your nose
Mucous don't mean nothin' if it aint green
And diggin' snot was easy, lord when she served it to me
You know, pickin' green was good enough for me,
Good enough for me and Booger McGee...

[Hippy Hollow]

I also wanted independent verification that they were indeed boogers. Maybe she has a hobby where she uses liquid cement or something? But it sounds like they were indeed bogeys. I also figure that someone so boogerific would obviously be picking her nose at some point. If you didn't see that it would make me think it might be something else. Like earwax...

In the pantheon of gross things in the world it's pretty garden variety but I would have freaked the fuck out. Especially on the sandwich tip. I have to know someone really well to trust them to not pick their nose, scabs, fingernails, sneeze, or otherwise fuck with my food. I tend to eat at places where I can see the workers with gloves and hairnets prep my food.

Oh, and the poop smearing lady who stuck the towels in the closet? There's only one solution for that: go into the bathroom immediately after her pooping session, grab the towel, and rub her nose in it. Bad lady! Bad lady! Or punch her in the face. I am not a confrontational person but I would probably get violent over that.

[manila]

Totally inappropriate. Every schoolboy knows that boogers are to be stuck to the underside of your desk!!

[Count Blucher]

The OP should be grateful he got out when he did. Things might have gotten messy if he stuck around for Monsneeze Season...

[smokey78]

I've had a crummy early week and this one cracked me up! I told my mom and she really enjoyed it despite the ickyness of the situation. I can't believe she had to gall to say you were rude, there could have been bacteria/diseases feeding off those boogers!



Could it have been a bad habit she couldn't break and is deep down in clear denial? Maybe she could figure out on her own, but gladly you can steer clear from her.

[billfish678]

If the sandwich didn't have iceberg lettuce on it I don't know what the hell you are bitching about.

Ok, you have two options here. I mean, if you tell her, you ARE going to hurt her feelings. However, since you are such a new friend, you CAN tell her and hurt her feelings a bit for the long run. I mean, if she wants new friends, she can't be serving up boogers all the time.

Or you can keep your mouth shut and be friends with her and six months down the line find yourself shouting STOP FEEDING ME BOOGERS BITCH!

Oh my goodness! You people are making me look like a crazy person on the light rail. I'm definitely gol (giggling out loud). Anyway, as hard as it is, I'm going to vote for "cruel to be kind" here. After all as someone else said how will she ever get any friends with a dreadful habit like that. Is it possible it could be some sort of re-potting incident?

Particularly because what she does affects you. Oh, and Kimbalkid, you have now become my favorite Doper.
