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? ---

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. ---

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. ---

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 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. ---

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