Has any society developed nose picking as a grooming service as with hairdressing and manicure ?
You seem to be hung up on this. You do realize it’s something most normal folks do not do. The Kleenex company has made millions of dollars providing a product that works much better.
Just saw Mondo Cane… No, that wasn’t it… Still, a very good movie… Thank you… Recommended…

This was started as a separate thread, but I think it can just as well be covered as part of the previous thread, so I have merged it.

It’s merely an anthropological question from a curious mind - and you should promptly give a cogent and relevant answer.
I like to pick a winner.
It is believed that nose picking and eating the boogers provides a significant boost to the immune system so in a way evolution has probably favored those who do.
The same reasons masturbation, farting, belching, etc. are looked down on in most cultures despite being practically universal practices.
That is incorrect. As stated, it is a practically universal practice. The Kleenex company has made millions of dollars because despite this it is still frowned on by most cultures even while most everyone does it, at least when nobody is looking.
Thank you for all your replies to this sticky issue.
We aim to please.
Happy we could clear that up for you.
Glad we could get that out of the way.
You’re serious? I would say never having cleaned the dried snot out of your nose with your finger would be decidedly ABnormal. There are lots of things that are very natural to do that we nevertheless tend no to do in public.
^^ Helluva username/post topic combo there.
If you’re going to do those 2 things, that is the recommended order.
If the whole bowl is moving, then you definitely need more fibre.
When you start wiping your ass in public, is when you can start picking your nose in public.
