Hi Hi! I feel so uncomfortable when seeing someone digging his/her nose on public area. I usually see those on public transports. I saw some people dug their nose with different fingers except the thumbs, and some put the dirt on the handrails of trains or walls of the lifts and so on, and some even tasted it. Some of them enjoy every much digging their nose and they kept putting one finger into a nostrial, then turned and turned. Some like playing with the dirts from the nose with the fingers and looking at it when playing. I even saw a handsome man holding hand with a girl. They both dressed in high class. They were rich people. However, the girl's one hand in the man's hand but the other hand was digging her nose. I hope she knew how she looked like. They are all awlful scene for me. How do you feel? Did you ever see those in public area? Love your sharing! agonyaunt69 (12:07am 30 Nov 2010, Hong Kong time)

That is really the most uncomfortable thing as you rightly said. I was in such situations many times. I just turn my head to some other side and stop watching them,because I know after enjoying their most favorable gesture they make a sketch with their finger somewhere on the walls or under the table or chair. I just don' want to see that. If they are know to me and close I tell them to stop that go wash you hand. They just need to know some basic civic sense when they are living as civilians.

Hi calpro, I totally agree with you. It is always hard to understand how can those people doing that in the public. I think if putting those stuffs under the chairs or tables at home is still not right. They should use tissue. Happy mylotting! agonyaunt69 (7:11pm 30 Nov 2010, Hong Kong time)

four nostril hairs pulled - The hairs over there grow fast. I have to pull them under one go to save time.
I do not see them that much. They are as careful as me. I have to cover my nose with the other hand if ever i try to remove the dirt. If the itch is bearable I would have no trouble delaying the time that I bring it out. I also pulled long hairs growing in my nostrils but the only time I did that in public is with a private van. I did it for my girl cousins to laugh. One of them even taken the hair to her hand to be examined. The past few days I have managed to root out 4 hairs under one go using the thumb and index finger of my left hand. If you want to see check it below.

Yes, like you, I feel uncomfortable seeing people digging their nose in the bus...trains...shopping centers and many more places. I find them disgusting and they should have just do it in their homes. I don't get why should they dig in the public... gosh. *face in palms*

I have never seen someone picking their nose in public or even eating their boogers. Those people need to be tolled not to do that. Imagine that you grabbed a snack on the go and you see someone eating boogers. There must be a law against this, for example if you want to eat the content of your nose do it in the privacy of you own home or get a fine of 50 dollars.

Agonyaunt69, I always feel disturbed when I see people picking their nose in public. When you're in public, everyone's watching you, so you want to leave a good impression. Doing stuff like this is not classy, and makes you look bad. I admit, sometimes I get some gunk in my nose, like everyone else. I usually just go to the bathroom and use a kleenex or some toilet paper to get it out. I don't stand there in the middle of a public place and spend some time digging through my nostrils. That's disgusting. I saw a woman picking her nose the other day in her car at a red light. She knows that other people can see her through her car window, but she did so anyway, not noticing my stares, and the stares of a few other people. Annie

This isn't a sight that is usually found to be attractive. i try to let it go. I only hope that this person really needs to do this to get on with their day.

Hi... Most of those that I have encountered are of certain age people and it didn't went well with me. Majority of the time I just turn my head away. Side track a bit: There are a few acts in public areas which I hope none of you will ever encounter. In buses/trains, sometimes I will encounter people who sneezed or cough loudly. Although one cannot control it from happening, but the least they can do is to cover their mouth (which they don't) and I got to hold my breath every time they do that. That's something hard to ignore. On one of the occasion, I was in the bus and I saw this guy who was sitting behind a curly (heavily scented) lady and sneezing away without covering his mouth. He sneezed at/into the lady's hair! I can't believe it. Does he have a grudge against her that he do that? And the lady didn't move away as well~ Not sure is it because she doesn't even felt it but the only thing I felt after I alight the bus... it was disgusting.

I also don't like it, it really disgusts me a lot because I just can't take that it's to horrible for me to see my eyes. I don't know why they do that it shows that they really don't care and that they have no manners or maybe they just don't care about what others think. I will never why they do that I just know that I would never do that no matter where I am at especially in public and even when I am at home I always blow my nose into some tissue.

People digging their nose, people squeezing their pimples in public, this are some of the habit that many people will try not to do in public. I am pretty fine if they do as long as I do not have to shake their hands thereafter.
