Title: Blowing your nose
Post by: LimestoneOutcropping on June 05, 2009, 03:59:20 PM
Do you look in the kleenex after to see what came out?  I don't always, if I am alone I will take a glance to see if anything is troublesome but usually wad it up and dispose.

We have some oldtimers here in the office who will take a long look, in the middle of a conversation, it is very unnerving to me.

Blowing your nose is and of itself embarassing. If I have to do it, I always make sure to turn my back to wherever the crowd is in the room.

Imagine it is a function of whether or not you look at your poop as well. If you look at your poop you look at the kleenex. No doubt in my mind about this one.

I look at my poop and my kleenex (although I don't poop or blow my nose around people) so your theory appears to be 100% correct.

My guess would be it is a hold-over from the great depression days and/or paper products were not readily available nor anywhere near as cheap to purchase as they are today.   My grandfather until the day of his passing, always took a shower where he'd wet up, turn the water off and lather up, then back on only to rinse.  Old habits and all ........

I look at both, how else do you evaluate whether another of either act is needed?

Please people, do not blow your nose at the table or in a restaurant. I know it doesn't bother half the people, but it makes the other 50% gag. Just get up and go into the bathroom or go outside. You can also look at our handiwork.

I look at my poop not to see what's up, rather to see how large it is and whether or not to take a pic with handy camera phone and send to friends.  :dunno:

FTR I peep both.  Check this out: Blowing your nose in a Kansas classroom is no biggie.  I mean, a few people (including some on this board) appear to take exception with it, but whatever, they're FPs.  But when I moved down to Louisiana and blew my nose in front of my class for the first time, their jaws dropped and everybody looked at me like I had just jumped up, dropped trau, and shat all over my desk.  I mean, it was CRAZY how much disgust they feigned.  I told them to stop being FPs and get over it. 

It's incredibly annoying when every single one of my students raises their hands and asks to leave the classroom to blow their nose.  Huge distraction; they need to just chill out, get a little Kansan in 'em, stop being FPs, and go for it. 

And for the record, this post was typed on the can, which I will now be getting off of.  But not before I take a good look.

LOL that you are telling them to ignore their parents attempt to teach them good manners.

Damn right, it creates a giant distraction.  And LOL that you qualify as one of these FPs.

I like to blow my nose but not in a kleenex.  I like the ole put one finger on one nostril, blow like heck while bending over slightly, letting the "stuff" go straight to the ground.  Then wipe the excess on or around your nose on your shirt sleeve.  Fast, efficient, don't need to contribute to adding more trash to society.  Have found that there are limited places were this tactic is socially acceptable though.

You can do this in Skinny B's classroom.
