classic. especially when i've been in the metal shop and it's all black and nasty up in there

classic when you have mocos. you know the only time I truly experienced a nasal backlog was while I was in London. Nasty city.

Ah, irrigation I see; but come to think, wouldn't the carbonation irritate?

DUD when you accidentally catch someone else doing it.

When I accidentally catch someone else picking my nose? I dunno, that depends on who's doing the picking, I guess...

The real question is not one of picking. We all pick. Just like Moses. (Little Seinfeld reference there.) The question is of when and where. Bathroom? Car? In bed first thing in the morning? And where do you wipe it?

omg that pic, my dad has something like that to irrigate out allergens.

As for wiping, you do it in a grocery store, onto one of the impulse items in the checkout line, as once I did when I was younger. (Ok, younger as in last year.)

nb. that may not be true.

― Leee (Leee), Saturday, 12 April 2003 06:32 (twenty-one years ago) link

I freely admit to picking my nose and eating it. The question of wiping does not arise. I think it tastes okay. But I know one person who loves the taste. No joke, he doesn't just pick his nose, sometimes he blows his nose into his hand and licks it up. Really!

my nose has been in rough shape the past few weeks. i think i'm developing allergies. can allergies make yr nose bleed? not flowing gushing kind of nosebleed, just kind of irritated, raw nasal passage??

― ron (ron), Saturday, 12 April 2003 15:04 (twenty-one years ago) link

Ron: shit yeah, I get allergic sinusitis a lot, and it can lead to swelling, bleeding and all kinds of goo. Without nasal sprays, I more or less can't breathe through my nose a lot of the time. Once, I had bad sinuses for months, and it started to clear up one day, and I blew my nose extra hard cause it felt like something was dislodging... and this hard fibrous mass the size of a pea popped out from way up in my sinus cavity and all of a sudden I could breathe totally normally.

I have no idea what that thing was though.

I apologise if anyone read this while eating. :D

i am apprehensive about using nasal sprays - most things i've read say that you'll end up worse off. yr nose becomes "addicted" to the spray and doesn't function correctly without it (?)

― ron (ron), Sunday, 13 April 2003 02:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

Yeah, before long your nose is out mugging little old ladies for the price of its next fix. Or selling itself for sex (only to men with very small penises, obv).

ha...

Eyeball Kicks' post upthread wins for disgusting. Stupidly, I was making a banana milkshake while reading it and very quickly lost my appetite.

So yeah, don't read this thread while eating. Unless you're in need of an appetite suppressant.

Dud if you do it in the car while driving really fast and hit a big pothole and wind up jamming your finger into your cerebral cortex.

(This has never actually happened to me, but I'm convinced that Fate is waiting patiently for the opportunity to make it so.)

omg my nose is dying. It's like the tap's been turned on it's running so much. I think it has something to do w/ a booger lodged pretty deep or some substantial irritant up in there, I can actually feel something in there, but I took a Clarinex at lunch and it hasn't done dicksquat. I'm at work so I don't know if I can irrigate it.

Better than picking someone else's nose
You can pick your friends and you can pick your nose, but you can't pick your friends' noses

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 21 August 2003 21:28 (twenty-one years ago) link

My mother used to tell me that an aunt of mine kept her pinky fingernail long and manicured for the express purpose of picking her nose. I'm all for nose picking but with a long fingernail? Ewgh.

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 21 August 2003 21:30 (twenty-one years ago) link

You can cut yourself that way. Uh, not that I would know.

― Sarah McLUsky (coco), Thursday, 21 August 2003 21:30 (twenty-one years ago) link

There's so much snot in my nose that I can't risk plunging in or it might slip all the way up!

I've made up a game with all the used tissues I'm using, tossing backwards no-look stylee to see if I can get it into the trash bin behind me.

today I saw a child wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with the slogan: "pick noses, not fights".

i doffed my cap to him.

I'm a proud picker.
Picking after coking makes sense, expensive debris up there.
