But I’m curious… why were you poking around between the cheese and the lettuce in the first place? Do you make a point of dissecting any sandwiches offered to you in the presence of your host? Or were you specifically checking for boogers given the state of the apartment?
Normally I’d never notice, but it was haphazardly assembled and I saw just one… but, I suspect, there might have been more. When I saw it, I said I had a stomach ache and she proceeded to eat it.
But how can I help? We’ve only known each other for a short time… wouldn’t it be inappropriate for me to question how she lives her life? I like her, I just don’t know what I would accomplish by saying anything (besides possibly a hateful glare) and I don’t even know what to say.
Yes, this is the type of thing where you’re not doing her a favor by keeping politely silent. Part of friendship is having people who can be honest with you.
How about “This is an astonishing collection of boogers! You know this is kind of gross, right? Have you always done this or do you just really hate the furniture?”.
I hadn’t realized you’d known her only a short time. I had imagined she’d been a normal seeming coworker for some time and this just happened to be the first visit to her house. I would have run screaming about the boogers everywhere, let alone on the sandwich. :: shudders ::
You know what’s really bothering me about this scenario? That booger was deliberately placed. Carefully placed, between the cheese and lettuce. No way does it just fall in there, especially considering they were everywhere. Which means she was hoping you’d not notice it and eat it. Which means she wants you to eat her leavings. Is she casting a love spell on you? Did you wrong her somehow?
I don’t remember wronging her… and she seems fairly heterosexual (she regaled me with the tale of a man who she loved but never returned her affections).
However.
I have a theory… I’m not sure that she places them on surfaces but instead, they just fall out of her nose.
