Picking your nose while driving

Has anyone seen people picking their nose when you are driving? I saw 2 people today doing that. One was at a stop light and he was going to town in his nose. The other one passed me and she had her finger up her nose so far it's a wonder you couldn't see it coming out the top of her head.

On several occasions I have turned my head while I am in the car & seen someone picking there nose. It's quite startling when all you want to do is let's say look at the scenery outside your car window & you come across someone who has there finger so far up there nose.. That it makes you just want to look straight ahead instead of glancing to your side. haha. I think a lot of people feel comfortable within there own cars while driving. That they for some reason believe that they are invisible to others when that is just not the case. So they will begin to pick there nose not even keeping in mind that others may be looking directly at them while they are doing this. There have been times where I was looking at someone who was picking there nose. And they'd look back at me & either feel embarrassed or just keep on picking. I honestly don't believe that it bothers some. Which is there choice if they want to do this as they do have that freedom. The man my mom remarried does this when you are sitting with him in the truck when he is driving. He just doesn't give a care in the world & will pick his nose repeatedly. Even after you tell him that's disgusting. And he will even take the snot he picked from his nose & wipe it all over the truck or car window. Even when he is at home he will pick his nose, take his snot & put it all over the ashtray. It's disgusting. I think they invented kleenex for a reason. What bothers me is when I was younger he used to do this.. And I would have to clean the ashtrays & I just didn't even want to touch it, nonetheless wash it either. I think people like this have no manners. But it makes me question if they carried this from there childhood to where they are now. Because some children at a young age will pick there nose & as they grow up.. Because they got so used to doing this, almost like a habit that they continue doing it throughout there adult years as well. So I question if this is the case for that relative. It makes me question if these people who pick there noses while driving can cause accidents just from picking there nose? It makes me question how many of these people have there finger up there nose & are not watching the person in-front of them drive.. And they end up running in to them because all of there concentration is on picking there nose instead of the road.. And paying attention to where they are driving instead of doing what they are doing. In conclusion.. Thank you for allowing me to share my opinions, as well as experiences with something such as this. I know how you feel when it comes to all of this. As when I was younger I was forced to sit in the passenger seat while someone on the other end was picking there nose.. It's not all to appealing if you ask me. I think people should do that in private if they are so interested in doing something such as this. haha. Thanks for allowing me to share! xx

Picking noses doesn't bother me nearly as bad as when they eat it! That just grosses me out.

Maybe that woman was just pointing at her brain. lol It is amazing to me when people feel like they are invisible because they are inside a vehicle. I love seeing people rock out to the radio too!

I see this all the time with folks thinking that no one is watching. Sometimes they make me embarrassed to be watching.
