| mad fingers | Posted – 1/16/2008 3:07:09 PM | show profile This just happened. Driving home from an interview. Stop at red light. Look into rear view. Man is picking his nose, but he can't get whatever it is he's digging for out of the nostril. Turns to girlfriend seated next to him who looks up the guy's nose and starts picking it for him. Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! |
| writesonwater | Posted – 1/16/2008 3:14:57 PM | show profile Well! So the old adage isn't true: "You can pick your friends, and you can pick your nose, but you can't pick your friend's nose." |

| mkelly | Posted – 1/16/2008 3:57:01 PM | show profile The old saying I heard was that you can pick your friends, and you can pick your nose, but you can't wipe your friends on the back of the couch. |
| wineaux | Posted – 1/16/2008 4:31:38 PM | show profile That is vomit inducing. What the hell is wrong w/ people. This wasn't gross, but it really ticked me off the other day. I'm driving in bumper to bumper traffic, and the woman in front of me is weaving, slamming on her breaks and jerking the wheel all over the place. I change lanes and as I pass her, she is cradling the cellphone to her ear with her shoulder, taking enormous bites from a giant cheeseburger. I wanted to tar and feather her. Dumb bitch. |
| Mag Girl | Posted – 1/16/2008 4:40:53 PM | show profile That is gross- picking someone else's nose? I wouldn't let anyone do that, not even my husband, unless I was paralyzed from the shoulders down. |

Often times, several of us would be in the darkroom in total darkness processing film at the same time. I always imagined that someone was picking their nose, someone, scratching their behind and someone itching their crotch in the total darkness. But I don't think anyone was eating a cheeseburger. |

You show up at the client's home with your tissues and wire brushes and bottle cleaners and maybe a mini vacuum cleaner. Almost like a nasal enima. I'm thinking $200 per hour. OK, I'm open for business. Who wants to be my first customer? |

| nandy | Posted – 1/16/2008 10:18:12 PM | show profile That reminds me about the nanny that used to mind my children when they were small. She had they long, manicured nails that I always thought were very impractical around the little kids she minded, But when she showed me how they made great booger-diggers on the snot-nosed kids, I had to laugh and say, "Better yours than mine!" |
| Janetblueyes | Posted – 1/17/2008 1:44:46 AM | show profile Mad Fingers- Sorry. That was me you saw. And Foto. We had just come back from our first date at Betty Lou's House of Medical Oddities. Foto had been sniffing the dried legbone of a preserved lemur. He told me the windows were tinted on his Hyundai. We didn't think we'd be spied. Damn you Foto! |
| writesonwater | Posted – 1/17/2008 4:35:57 AM | show profile Okay .. for my peace of mind, is there even the remotest possibility that the guy had -- say, some kind of condition -- and there was a -- say, some life-threatening blockage -- and he was about to pass out and stop breathing and he needed help and this woman -- say she's his wife and an R.N. and respiratory therapist -- saved his life? |
| mad fingers | Posted – 1/17/2008 11:23:17 AM | show profile Considering the backwater burg in which I live, doubt it was anything more serious than lack of evolution. |
| bart23ny | Posted – 1/17/2008 2:46:33 PM | show profile >Turns to girlfriend seated next to him who looks up the guy's nose and starts picking it for him. Did she get it? LOL I see people all the time (men & women) digging for gold, but this is a new twist. |
| ZeldaMedia | Posted – 1/17/2008 6:37:35 PM | show profile This is great. . . I just read this thread and laughed so hard I feel like I just. . .released two months of tension. . Thank you. .thank you. ..thank you. . . |

| keltoi | Posted – 1/17/2008 11:19:12 PM | show profile I like the thought of the woman getting her picking finger firmly lodged up hubby's nostril (say, past the first knuckle), and them winding up in the ER. |
| voracious reader | Posted – 1/18/2008 11:48:13 AM | show profile This thread reminds me of the time... when my daughter was 4 years old she stuck a raisin up her nostril and I had to take her to the doctor. Her nose was dripping what looked like prune juice! The doctor couldn't get it out. He said to wait a few hours and see what happens. Luckily, an hour or two later she sneezed and it blew out! ... Not to be out done by his older sister, a few years later, my younger son stuck a pretzel up his nostril! Rather than run off to the doctor again, and embarrass myself, I just waited, and sure enough, the pretzel reappeared. Years later, I asked my daugher what the heck she was thinking when she stuck the raisin up her nose and she distinctly recalled how she was watching Mr. Rogers and was bored. So she just stuck the raisin up her nose to see how far up it would go. Sure makes alot of sense now! |

| astrahook | Posted – 1/18/2008 4:13:22 PM | show profile how about people clipping their nails in the subway (or anywhere in public for that matter), real classy |
