Ofcourse it's okay to blow your nose when you badly needed to! Just think about it; it may be a quite area, but if you would just let all the snot grewl all over your mouth and face, while you keep sniffing your getting attraction by the people, they will laugh you ouy, and then it wouldn't be so quiet anymore! It's just the best to prevent this kind of things from happening, and so in this case, just blow your nose! It's better then making a fool out of yourself..

To me it depends on the situation. If at a restaurant, I think it's polite to excuse yourself and go to the restroom, that's one place where it would be definitely rude to spoil others appetites lol. There's other solemn ceremonies that would be considerate to remove oneself to go and blow their nose elsewhere. Blowing your nose when it really needs it is a natural human thing that we all do, and you'd think people would understand (it's not like they haven't been in the same situation and never ever need to blow their own nose!) I think if your nose is drippy, you can quietly use a tissue until you can get to a rest room (for those who loudly blow their nose and make it a trumpeting event hahaha) This time of the year when everybody and their brother is getting a cold and runny nose, I think it's rude for others to think ill of someone who has to do something that is a natural function.

[b]i agree with you...if we can hold it for a second then do it in a comfort room...i think that's the proper act...and well it really depends on the place...if there's no comfort room nearby us, then i think that would be an excused...since it is necessity to do it...
thanks for sharing!
happy sunday! God bless!

I will never blow my nose in public because it's so unhygiene and so disgusting.. haha =D If i have to blow my nose, i will do it in private or do it when i'm in the toilet ^_^
Blowing nose in public will only draw curious and unwanted attention on me, which i hated most, and thus i wun even do such a disgusting thing in public.. haha =D Even for sneezing, i will also cover my nose so that i won't sneeze so loudly that everybody can hear me.. hehe

[b]well some circumstances/ situation requires...but sometimes if it is badly necessary then i think it's okay...than holding it, until some foolishness will happen...so better to blow it, but be sure not to catch the attention of the public...i think sneezing is more of something we can't control...so i think that would be an excuse!
thanks for sharing though!
happy sunday! God bless!

Well, if you really have to do it, then I don't think that should be a problem. It's a natural thing. It's better than going around with a dripping nose right? Teehee.!

If it's really necesary, just go for it! This is a perfectly normal human activity and I don't know why anybody would be upset or embarrased by it!
It's not like urinating in public, is it? Or worse?
It is said that blowing your nose too vigorously can lead to nose bleeds if you're that way inclined.
