everyone does it, and anyone who says they dont are damn liars.

it is seen as disgusting in many places and is not well practiced in certain social groups and or at certain times. but im pretty sure every one picks their nose at some point in time.

whats your stance on it? and what are some of your experiences?

Picking your nose is essentially like scratching yourself... except inside your nostrils. Nothing wrong with that.

Its all fun and games until you pull out a bloody finger.

It's essential to do sometimes.
Just blowing your nose won't get the jagged fragments of dried mucus out.

Do it when you're alone, it's disgusting to see in public.

have you ever pulled out a piece that is so long you can feel it being removed from the back of your sinus

Picking your nose is not unlike picking your butt. And in fact it's best to combine the two, for efficiency.

You'll pick your nose; you know there's something there.. but you can't find it!!! Two minutes later you look at your shirt, there it is. Hanging there.

Aye. I'm trying to teach my nephews that by setting a bad example :p

Remember the code, red for stop and green for go!

I do it, in a bathroom with a q-tip.

Too many times.
Seconded. *Shudders*

then you have to think back and try to remember whos finger it is you had up your nose

I was sitting in a restaurant with friends and there was a woman sitting nearby who was digging for gold. She'd stop now and then and look at her finger and then send it right back up in there. We were placing bets on just how long she'd go at it. She was still going strong by the time we left.

There is speculation that she's still there.

Sounds a bit like what me, my sisters boyfriend and some of his friends did in the red light district of amsterdam... We timed people, then guessed what they had been doing :p

Has anyone else heard of those scientists who said you should eat what you get, 'cause it's good for your immune system?

it is not agenst the law and there for we may exercise it with out fear of repercussion

it's one of those things you do in private and don't talk about. ;)

I bet everyone does it, but it's not something you discuss or you know do in public.

haha, when my kids were babies I would pick thier noses with Q-tips, the bulb thingy scared them and I couldn't bear to leave them with yucky noses

*shudder* i don't know why but q tips up my nose is the worst feeling ever

yes, i do it, not in public though. the way i look at it is that i'm using the best tool for the job

And for all of you using q-Tips, coat them in something burn-y first. Hot sauce, paint thinner, curry, Jagermeister all work well, but don't let my list limit you.

Two hands?

If only one hand whats the order?

Of course I don't...what kind of sicko picks her nose?....

Picking is normal; eating it is not.

Of course I pick my nose. It isnt as if anyone would pick it for me.

Of course she's still there. She's employed by the restaurant - they found that some food was simply too expensive to be bought in. ;)

Or maybe that she had such a bad effect on some people, they could serve the same food twice!

Of course I picked my nose! It just wouldn't fit me right if my parents picked it for me. Luckily for me the store had a good variety to pick from. Mine is awesome, with just the right amount of curve.
