Is that a disgusting habit or what? I guess we are used to it when kids do it ever so often, but when grown-ups do it! It's just plain wrong man!!! What's your opinion on nose picking, especially in public for all to see. Not that nose-picking in private should be encouraged at all! LOL! Why not just blow your nose if you feel that's something is caught in the tubes??? I especially dislike people who pick their nose conversationally; you know, while they are talking to you they will do it matter of factly as if they are stroking their hair (or something that would be socially acceptable). Do you know any nose-pickers or worse yet, are YOU are self-confessed nose-picker? Please, don't get me started on some people even eating (UGH!) their boogers after picking their nose in public!

LOL I knew a guy that would pick his nose while talking to you. You dont know how many times I just wanted to burst out laughing, and say "Stop it man!" LOL I just read an article on an Austrian Dr who thinks that eating boogers is a natural way to a healthier body. I see many people picking their noses, as if its a very normal action; in their cars, in line at Wal-Mart or the Grocery store, walking down the street. Im just thankful I have never witnessed anyone at work in a restaurant picking their nose with such nonchalance. Bay xx

Picking your nose in public is gross. Eating it is beyond gross and the thoguht makes me want to vomit. However, sometimes, in the privacy of the bathroom, it is necessary to pick your nose to get it really clean.

Ok, no boogers are not nice and yes kid's have them alot! But the worse thing about it is the adults that know better! And yes I know several people that are afflicted with this problem and it grosses me out everytime. Especially when they want to shake hands with you right after that!
