Well, I hope you got a doggie bag, at least, since she presumably left before the food came. Now you’ve got lunch for tomorrow too. Silver lining! And if your ex-friend tries to approach you while you’re eating, you can shout “Get your boogery self away from my food!” It’s one thing to be friends with somebody whose _apartment_ is covered in boogers, but if she herself is walking around with visible boogers stuck to her person, that’s where you gotta draw the line. Boogers. Pajama pants. ---

> [@TinyInfinity](#): > > Ah yes! I’ve watched documentaries on such things. Their bodies can get to be so wide and cumbersome that they cannot simply reach to wipe as thinner people can. So they use sponges on sticks or, if they have an aid, the aid wipes for them. If they don’t do the aforementioned things (including also bathing after going to the bathroom) then horrifying circumstances may arise. Your response here makes me giggle. You went all professor “AH yes! I’ve watched documentaries on such things. I’m in the _know_.” Seriously, thank you for the entertainment. I’m very glad you didn’t eat a booger sandwich, but like ZSofia, I think it’s a hilarious combination of words. ---

I’m really interested in obese people though, so I tend to read up/watch stuff about it. And as I said upthread, everyone’s been so kind, you included; I’m encouraging all my friends to come here for advice and they have much more interesting problems than I do! ---

Sweetheart, your friends are 100% welcome, but if any of them show up with a drama queen boogeriffic friend I will eat my hat. I’m glad you are enjoying yourself, though! 🙂 ---

Goodness griefus. You’re a better person than I am. I’d have seen all those boogers and turned around and marched out and avoided her for the rest of my life. If she cornered me later to find out why, I’d have shouted out IT’S THE BOOGERS! YOU ARE A DISGUSTING PERSON! Man… man. ---

How the heck did you meet this woman? Is she a coworker? Friend of a friend? I’m completely mystified (and grossed out) how someone can accidentally or purposefully spike a visitor’s food with their detritus and not think anything is amiss… ---

Am I the only one questioning how in the world this woman saved up this much mucus? I mean, what if she’s completely dry upstairs and needs something to go with her sweater? I just don’t know the limits of the human nostril. On the other hand, I had a coworker who would eat her own scabs while she worked. When confronted, she said it was just a bad habit. ---

Dear SDMB, My (ex) friend won’t sit in my booger-laden apartment nor eat the booger-laden sandwich I made for them. He confronted me about it and I feel he is judging me. What do I do?
