i can honestly say that i have never done this. i'm an adult and i know without a doubt that i have never done it. however, i may or may not have just seen a memeber of my family do it. it might be a kid and he might be between the ages of 5-8. anyway, i'm like "bro, what in the world? trust me man, people don't do that. i mean no big deal, but it's gross and take my word for it when i tell you it's not cool and all. like, it's uncool. do you want to be a kid that isn't cool and you get made fun of and stuff?".
how should i have handled that. did i handle it good? bad? snot/booger eaters feel free to weigh in here.
-
I absolutely did it all the time as a child
-
:peek:
-
do i just let it go or should i grab him by the shoulders and yell in his face and like push him around and stuff? also, he did it again in between the time i posted this and now.
-
Maybe his boogers are delicious. You should try one before jumping to such rash decisions.
-
I saw a grown man do it in a meeting. I think it is best to nip it in the bud.
Gonna win 'em all!
-
Treat eating boogers like masturbating, don't shame him (unless you're a weirdo) but make it clear it's not acceptable in front of other people
-
This guy is probably in his late 50's. A successful man. Good job. But, my lord, stop eating your rough ridin' boogers in meetings!
Gonna win 'em all!

daris, you probably only remember about 0.00001% of stuff from before you were 10 or so. and even of that, probably about 99% of it you remember incorrectly. so, i don't believe your claim at all.
-
handle it the way you would a rowdy arrestee

i actually remember a decent amount of stuff and am sure that i've never done it. if i did i was two or three. i don't remember back that far.

you think you do.

Do you remember more than 30 seconds of life before you were ten?

Do you remember more than 30 seconds of life before you were ten?
and less than a second accurately.

I was willing to give you some wiggle room....
-
I mean even up to a factor of ten.

and yet he thinks he can guarantee what he did and didn't do.

the kid will have a much stronger immune system for it. good for him.

I read a book (I think called "Invisible Gorilla") and there was a chapter about how people even misremember significant events like 9-11. No way rick is remembering (or not remembering) eating his boogers.
-
I have a way above average memory and know that if I ever did, I don't recall and it was before I was 5 years old. I've never seen one of my kids do that either.

case in point: i think the book that you remember reading was actually the serial podcast that you listened to

speaking of remembering 9/11 events, i remember sitting in my coach's office at UVA and hearing the sirens of the first responders driving by as they rushed to the pentagon
-
here's the deal, i have no memory of ever putting my finger into my nose and then into my mouth. that's a fact. i have memories all the way back to preschool and can tell you some pretty specific stuff about my childhood. there are a billion things i'm horrible about (seriously i'm bad at most things) but childhood memories is like my best thing. so sorry when i say that i've never picked my nose and than ate whatever i picked. a scab or whatever? sure. boogers, nope. sorry here, guys.

I remember stuff like that accurately, maybe lows don't remember it well

The book says your brain makes you very in confident in those memories and makes them seem very vivid but that doesn't mean those memories are accurate. You should read it! highs read books.
-
it does make me feel pretty good though. like, he's a great kid. funny and caring and all the stuff you'd want out of a kid. good at school and reading and all that crap. then i see him pick his nose and eat it and i'm like oh crap eff god damn. cause for me, that's some super weird stuff. you guys are saying it's not though so i'm cool now. thanks.
-
Wow, a person that eats scabs acting all holier than thou about a kid eating a booger. Now I've seen it all.
-
i can maybe believe trim remembering some childhood events. but he's the only poster here i'd believe it of.
-
I remember everything from like 4 years old on, and even some stuff before then. I have a very good memory
-
sys is correct.
-
I remember basically nothing from before middle school. One time I thought I remembered something from 1st grade but then I realized it was a dream I had had the night before where I was sharpening my pencil but then I realized I was accidentally sharpening my finger but it didn't hurt because I had pencil fingers.
-
Scabs are way better than boogers anyway.
-
i can't believe you called him out, Uncle Daris. sheesh. give the kid a break.
-
I did that as a kid too, RD. I also sucked my finger, instead of my thumb. Super weird, right?
-

Yes.
-
There are some things that I remember from when I was a kid, but I am not so sure whether they actually happened to me or they happened to my sister and I am "remembering" them as my memories because I know the story.....Is that weird?

sitting at work desk thinking about putting my finger in my nose and then mouth just so I can say that I've done it and see what all the fuss is about.

Don't do it!!!!
You are going to be the guy that someone else is talking about saying "There is this guy at work that I saw eat his own boogers."

I'm sure lots of guys on the force do it Mrs. Gooch

I guess if he is in his patrol car alone then no one would see it.
