I have the Great Privilige of being in the presence of someone who constantly snorts his nose. All day I get to listen to him inhale his snot (ssssnnnnnnoooort), then hear him do something that really makes me squeerm. Not only is he content to snort his snot, he feels the need to rearrange his snot in his nose by blowing outwards.
Blow your fucking nose already. Toilet paper is cheap. BTW if you cannot use the toilet paper to blow your nose, could you leave your nose activities to a place where no one else can see you. Picking your nose when everyone (obviously not everyone because I saw you) is riding in the car looking out the windows doesn’t count.
You fucking wonder why I don’t want you in my room, I don’t want to sit down in my chair and find a big booger on my seat. Fuck this Society that we live in, we are so concerned with what other people think that I really cannot tell you to keep your fucking dirty fingers out of your nose (fortunately society and my superiors do not look down upon people telling other people to wash their hands before handling food, but only if the other person is told in a penitent way)
Fuck, I know there is no god, how can god permit such a person who vagrently disreguards common etticuette. This is the same fucking person who thinks that he should make sure other people know that he exsists by clearing his throat loudly every couple of seconds.
There now I’m done, I’m still pissed off though.
Now something for all those idiots who like to excuse disgusting people’s flaws:
[ul]
[li]I could excuse the throat clearing if the person had an alergy, he doesn’t btw[/li][li]Even if he did have some medical reason to have problems with his snot, there is no way to explain public nose picking[/li][li]If there is a valid reason for nose picking, I would expect it to be done where other people do not have to witness it[/li][li]What kind of reason could someone come up with for constatly and loudly playing with his nose snot. I’ve been to the Stampede a few times, and I know that once I hit “Submit New Thread” a bunch of idots will come here and tell me why this person could have a valid reason to snort his nose, but there is no reason to be constantly, and loudly snorting your nose snot, Kleenex will clear your nasal passages much better than snorting will, excusing yourself to the bathroom is not that hard[/li][/ul]
BTW the nose blowing (with kleenex) in public is a rant for another day.
Is this guy from Japan? In Japan it is considered more rude to blow your nose than to sniff! I know, it used to drive me round the bend when I lived there, but I soon got the kids to blow their noses in my class.
Wow, I guess I can scratch one country off of my travel to list, I don’t think I could take living in a country where the majority of the population does that.

First, let me ask why you can’t make a normal, non-curvy keyboard, for fuck’s sake. Your optical mouse ain’t so bad, though.
As to the OP, nose-picking is disgusting. As an allergy suffererer (er?) sometimes there’s nothing to blow. That is to say there’s something blocking my nasal passages but, for the life of me, I can’t blow it out! I have to resort to, er, snorting.
Now, in my defense, I hie my ass to the doctor right quick to get a prescription for Allegra when allergy season starts but, I don’t always make it in time before the Season of Snorting sets in. Sure I can take OTC allergy meds but they all make me drowsy. So >yawn< drowsy. I’d say there’s a three to eight day snort window before I get my hands on some Allegra. Fortunately for others, I have my own office, complete with a door that closes.
What would you have us do? We can’t snort. We can’t blow.
You missed the in public disclaimer I have no problem with someone blowing in the bathroom (even if I’m in the bathroom too, the bathroom is the place for blowing, I cann’t complain if I encounter blowing there) or in the privacy of their own office. But what really (sort of) annoys me is people who get up in the middle of class and blow a big wet one right there in front of everyone.
BTW one snort every so often is okay, as long as it isn’t a continuous pattern.
So we can’t snort and we can’t blow our nose in public…
see I find it MUCH less disruptive to have someone do a quick blowing of the nose then someone snorting for the whole time I’m near them, or snorting until they get away so they can blow their nose.
What if the nearest bathroom is quite a distance? Or you can’t leave the room because oh you’re writing a test or in a meeting? I’m not going to let snot drip down my face while I try to get some place acceptable to blow my nose so I’d be snorting it while running for where I could.
Much easier to just have a kleenex handy and get it done with.
Nope, didn’t miss the disclaimer at all. I can’t always make it to my house, car or other non-public area when snot’s about to trickle out of my nostril. I do draw the line, however, at blowing my nose at lunch, in a meeting or, say, during a eulogy.
Ethel, known to her friends as Ethie, was a kind and generous soul. She volunteered at neighborhood soup kitchens and SNOOOOOOOOOOOOORT little hats for preemies at the local NICU.
A quick noseblowing doesn’t bug me, but what’s with the folks who do the repeated violent machine-gun fire blows? It’s like SNORT-SNORT-SNORT-SNORT-SNORT-SNORT. Jesus, it sounds like brains are gonna start coming out. And the ones who spend five minutes digging deep into their nasal cavity with the tissue, to get every last molecule of snot that might possibly be up there. For God’s sake, let it end. There’s noseblowing, and then there’s debilitating O.C.D.
You’ve just described my idiot dumbass loudmouth unmannered colleague.
Well, apart from the Canuck thing, that is, but MAN does this fucker drive me mad with his snot concerts. And throat clearing. Repeat ad infinitum. Gah!
My cow-orker. She has been a constant phlegm and mucus factory on her own for the last 4 years. She loudly coughs, she loudly blows, and she louldy snorts nasal spray all within 2 yards of me (with a cube wall in between). Nothing like the sound of forced Afrin through clogged mucus to make me rethink lunch options. Luckily, we’re moving in two weeks and I’ve requested, and got, a buffer zone.
You bet there’s a fucking medical reason. It’s called a regular goddamned allergy. It’s high season for about 5 months a year, starting one month ago. Blowing your nose doesn’t fucking work. You can hardly breathe without “playing with your nose snot”. If you don’t pick your nose it starts running down your mouth and eventually chin, within minutes. It’s great. Must be much worse for you though, who have to listen to the snorting all day.
Damn, I really wanted to work a “blow me” into this somewhere…
Yea, he did. 'Course, then he went on to tirading about how even if said coworker did have an allergy, this would merely “excuse the throat clearing”. Gee, how fucking gracious. It was more of a general counter-rant to the whole bloody subject, than to the OPs specific case though. My apologies for being unclear.
Not really bitching at anyone in particular… Just not very fun to see the things that are probably being said about me when I’m not around. Believe me, nobody hates this shit more than I do.
I don’t know if this has much relevance to this thread, but I just had to put it somewhere:
Fade in on
A man and woman in bed, making passionate love accompanied by the appropriate noises. Suddenly, the man stops.
Man: Hang on a second.
Woman: What is it?
Man: Hang in there…
The man reaches over to the night stand and pulls a tissue from the box there. He puts the tissue to his face. A sound like two huge whipped cream cans being discharged fills the room, then a couple of short, swift, bursts. The man drops the now-used tissue into the litter can between the bed and the nightstand.
Man: That’s better. Now then, where were we?
Woman: I took the vows. I’m a nun now. Good night.
