I know. I'm almost 44 and I can say that in all that time, I've never felt the urge to do that disgusting hacking/snorting noise and then spit out a glob of mucus in public. Never.

Yes, I've had colds, I've had allergies, but never had the need to hack a loogie. Maybe I'm missing a gene or something?

He'll be doing this a bunch of times a day, up to 5 or 6 times.

It is just me, or should Mr. Allergy Man head over to the restroom to handle business.

Some co-worker from across the other side of the office even said in a joking way "Hey Bill, finish up already."

It's rude. I'm really funky about that sort of thing. If it is coming out, it should neither be seen nor heard.

I'm pretty sensitive about snot as well. In fact, I started to gag just reading this thread.

In my opinion, someone blowing their nose that long and hard needs to do it in the bathroom or someplace else in private.

Oh, yeah, what about the one nostril sneak some guys do?

They lean over cover one nostril with their finger and proceed to empty their nasal cavities....

Man... this thread has taken an even grosser turn than I expected.

Well I agreed with you. Not sure if I was the only one, but I'm on your side about it being avoidable and unnecessary at work.

The worst are the snot suckers...I was taking a final exam in a continuing ed class and the guy in front of me is sucking back the snot and then clears his throat cuz' he's swallowing it. YUCK! He did that about every 2 minutes for the whole 90 minute exam. I wanted to scream "Just go out and blow your f*%$ing nose!"

Sounds like he needs to call in sick or get some better allergy pills. Either way, he needs to do something about it.

You. Are my hero. LOL


Nose blowing belongs in the restroom. There was a thread a couple weeks ago (and then another one a couple days ago) about first-sight deal-breakers. The first time I mentioned some guy blowing his nose at a table in McDonald's, someone on C-D thought I was being too peticular. LOL

It's just extremely poor manners. I don't know a single person who wants to see another person doing it or wants to hear it. Unless there is a fetish that I'm not aware of dealing with nose contents.
