Nose picking is an unseemly behavior I see around in public here in Uganda-there people who do it as a habit and some of them are vey important persons! For example, when my President is addressing the nation or a function, I see him pick a trademark white handky and pick his nose without qualms-would you pick your nose in public?

There is no way that I would pick my nose in public. That is nasty. I never pick it in front of anyone period. I have seen people do it in public also and I have seen them eat what they have picked also. That makes me sick. They should pick in private and they should never eat it. That is gross.

Yeah as kids, we used to take some pleasure in licking our noses-tastes rather salty for kids its rather entertaining! LOL! But as a grown up, picking your nose and eating it up is extremely nasty!

No way! I think that is one of the most disgusting habits. That is something that can be avoided. Passing gas sometimes just wont wait but picking your nose is definitely something that could wait until you got out of site. Put yourself in the shoes of the person who has to watch that action. What if he wanted to touch you after? Pretty disgusting if you ask me. My grandfather always said, you can pick your nose, you can pick your friends but you cannot pick your friends nose. LOL dl

HAHA It is a disgusting habit alright but sometimes unavoidable. Suppose your nose starts reminding youthat you have it then you have no other option but to tell it to shut up and the only way is to use the hanky. However in such case you should ask the person to excuse you and then go about doing whatever you have to do.

Wow, that is a good one! I would never think about doing something like that where anyone else can see it!! But at least he uses a hanky to conceal it!
