Do you pick your nose?

In My Humble Opinion
21

You can pick your nose, and you can pick your friends. . .

22

You know what’s really satisfying? Putting your finger as up as you can, and then turning it and sort of popping the nostril more open. Ahh.

23
  1. No, and I don’t masturbate either.
  2. No.
  3. It varies.
  4. No.

One of the above answers is false.

I read somewhere that a survey found that ten out of ten Hollywood starlets picked their nose. Verifying this must have been pleasant.

24

1.Of course
2.Whenever no one is looking, but often in the same room… I’m ballsy like that
3.whichever one is best…you know with angle and nail depth and all
4.I’ll under my chair, between cushions, flicked out the window, paper towel, toilet paper if there is a “proper” method of disposal close by i will use it, if not…under my chair it goes
5.I’m a daddy but ive done that too

No, genetics picked my nose.

  1. Sigh. After coming up on 6000 posts, I’ll admit it. Yeah, I do. Please don’t hate me.

  2. The bathroom. Never in the car.

  3. Left index or left pinky.

  4. Tissue, then trash.

I’m also a mom, and yeah, I’ve picked some big ol’ boogers out of my kids’ noses. Especially my son’s. He inherited his dad’s bad sinuses, and he gets congested a lot. But like Cranky said, it’s in the Mommy Handbook. Just something you do, ya know?

27

My father to my brother, when seeing him pick his nose: “Pick a winner?”

My brother, examing his finger, “It is, if you have the matching half”

28

You can pick your Gods, and you can pick your nose, but you can’t pick your God’s nose. This annoys me.

Yes I do pick my nose. I miss living in a cold climate where my boogers would freeze up and it was a simple task to reach in a pick them out. For a bonus you can pack these suckers into a snowball and hurl them at someone. Ha ha! Booger on you!

Nowadays I settle for the shower routine. When I’m in the shower, I snort water up my nose and shoot it out like a good snot-rocket. That usually keeps me clean for the day. I know, I know, it doesn’t have the cachet of digging for buried treasure, but I’m a very expedient person.

  1. I have always picked my nose. Even when my Dad told me it would make my nostrils huge and I had a vision of my wedding day where the attendants must carry my train and my nose. (That could be why I’ve never married.)

  2. I pick anywhere I can get away with it, including my desk at work when nobody’s looking.

  3. My left hand is not coordinated enough for such delicate work. I usually use my index finger, unless the booger’s too far up for it to fit and then I use my pinky.

  4. After I pick 'em, I flick 'em or stick 'em…anyplace that seems convenient. Most school desks have chewing gum on the underside. Mine…

What’s worse than picking your nose (as a kid)? Accidently making a sniffling sound when your mother has one of those horrible mucous suckers nearby. “I can’t breathe! It’s sucking all the air out of me! I’m going to die!”

30

Of course!
I can’t just sit there with a booger
clogging up my nose can I?

I GOTTA PICK IT!!!

31

You guys think this is funny don’tcha. Well it is and it’s snot.

Thinks to self, must learn to edit … must learn to edit… Sorry 'bout the dual post.

34

this is gonna turn your stomach . . .

when I was in my late teens I sneezed; went to the bathroom to empty it into a tissue and pulled the tissue away. and away and away . . . I ended up pulling a 2 ft long string of snot out of my nostril. jeez I thought I was gonna die or something.

35

Of course everyone picks. Individual styles may differ. May I sugest using a tissue to wipe the inside of the nose. Please. And after you’re done for the love of God, wash your hands.

If your nose is that dry, then using saline nasal spray will soften the stuff up a bit. If your nose tends to bleed, put a little vaseline up there. It makes a huge lot of difference.

As I’ve mentioned before, I’m an RN. Once this poor old woman about 95 years old came in with a bad sinus infection and her nostrils just caked solid. The doctor wrote an order to irrigate the nose with saline solution and “remove nasal concretions” Yep I did it. (I used a q-tip though)

…this thread was like, MADE for me.

  1. Yes, yes, YES! All the goddamn time.

  2. Anywhere is fine for a little quick pick, as long as I can convince myself that no one is looking and that I am really so stealthy that no one notices. No way in hell, though. I use the same questionable logic when I rip a massive fart at work.

  3. My thumb if I’m trying to be sly, because I think it makes it look like I could just be scratching instead of picking. But for a good, long, private nose-picking, I like my index fingers. Either one, but the right one is the most dextrous.

The worst though is when they’re really really wet, but there’s still more left. When that happens, I keep the first booger on the original finger and then go back in with another finger. Still more? I go back in with another finger. The worst is when you’re standing there with big slimy boogers on every single finger…and there’s STILL more. That’s when I usually give up and just blow it.

  1. The hard ones I roll and flick, or better yet, roll and then divide into little halves and quarters with my fingernails. Nothing like playing with boogers. The wet ones? Everywhere. Bottom of furniture, walls, elevator doors. Makes me feel naughty. At the end of the day, when I know I’m just going to take it off and put it in the laundry anyway, I sometimes just wipe them on my T-shirt. Socks are excellent for this as well, especially black socks. Because who’s looking? When I was a kid, I would use my socks in the winter when I was wearing pants to cover them up, and in the summer when I was wearing shorts I would reach up into them and wipe my boogers on my underwear. This method worked well when I was eating greasy chicken, too.

Yes, it is endlessly satisfying. In fact, I’m always just a little disappointed when I know I’ve picked the last one.

Thank you thank you thank you for giving me a chance to get this off my chest. I feel even better than I did in that other thread when I confessed that I like the smell of my own poop.

Nosepicking is amusing. So, so many people do it, but they don’t want other people to see. I’m not sure why… me and all my friends do it, but only two of us do it anywhere. It grosses the rest of them out. Hell, and we pee in front of each other. Some of us have shared sexual partners.

Stranger and stranger.

But then, I guess people are just quirky in general. I mean, take a moment to just swallow. OK? Now, picture spitting into a glass and drinking it. Gross? :shrug:

1-- Oh yes… I pick. And pick… and pick.

2-- I’ll do it just about anywhere I believe I can get away with it. When I’m alone in my cubicle I"m hidden away and its easy. If there are people here I have to give a quick once over to make sure they’re not looking. But then, I’m only doing it if they’re REALLY buggin’ me in there. Where I REALLY go to town is in my car. Man oh man… dig away in the car. I don’t know why… probably habit really. It FEELS so much ike I’m alone.

3- It alternates. Pinky, index, ring. Both hands have become adept at it. But it really depends on where I’m trying to get to.

4- Apparantly, I uhhh… I need not answer this question…

I’ll just go away now that you all know what a sick bastard I am.
