why is it ok to blow your nose during dinner?

It is disgusting to do that! Absolutely gross! I think its rude, and if you need to blow your nose then go do it away from the dinner table and make sure you clean your hands well. Ick!

Oh, that's pretty disgusting. I think you should excuse yourself from the table and go blow your nose, sanitize your hands, and then come back. LOL I'm a germaphobe!

Blowing nose in dinner table is not manner/etiquette. One can excuse, get up the place, go to toilet and do this act and come back. I also hate it.

I blow my nose when I go out to eat if I have to. I'd rather blow my nose than having snot run down my face! I've seen people with bugars...and I've seen and heard people just snort them back in...which is more disgusting?? I can't help blowing my nose...sometimes I think it's a habit...I may not be sick but I still blow my nose at a table.

I dont have a problem with it. It is a normal bodily function like a fart. When out in public these are things you are going to have to deal with because not everyone has the same views as you do. Do you expect a 2yr old to get up and go into the bathroom with snot running down there face just because you think blowing there nose is grose. Personally I would rather hear the honk of someone blowing there nose than have them walk by and seeing the snot running down there face.

yea I totally agree, gross its just as bad as farting at the table, my husband finds it funny I find it revolting,

I totally agree with you. If you must blow go to the restroom. That is bathroom activity. You should always wash your hands after blowing too. No one wants to hear someone blowing their nose while they are eating.

I agree 500%. I have seen a lot of older men do it at restaurants. It makes me sick. I would never do it, even at home!

I think that is one of the grossest things ever. I hate it when someone blows their nose at the table.

Not at all,I think it's totally gross and bad manners too.If you need to blow your nose leave the table.That would really put me off my food!

i'll do it inside the toliet..its pretty annoying for other,so try be considerate..:p..

I have bad sinuses a life-long thing. Everytime I chew food my nose runs, which means I have to wipe my nose 2-3 times during any meal I eat. Guess I wont be getting many dinner invitations.

i think its rude, not so hard to just get up and go toliet or outside etc even in another room

good

it drives me nuts when people blow there noses when others are eating.. they can get up and excuse theirselves and blow it in the bathroom

it totally gross me out with people blow their nose, while i'm in a restaurant eatng.

It is never all right to blow nose at table. It's not polite for one thing, and who wants to continue eating dinner after someone does that. I would have no appetite. My husband thinks it's all right to blow his nose when I'm talking to him. I'll be talking about something, whether it's important or not. All of a sudden he grabs a tissue and honks in it. No, 'excuse me a moment', nothing. So then I have to stop talking and repeat what I was saying because, of course he couldn't hear what was said when he was honking.
