have you ever picked your nose and then put the contents in your mouth?

[Dr Rick Daris]

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.

[michigancat]

I absolutely did it all the time as a child

[Dr Rick Daris]

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.

[slobber]

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

[slobber]

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.

[The Big Train]

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?

[sys]

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

and less than a second accurately.

[CHONGS]

I was willing to give you some wiggle room....

[CHONGS]

I mean even up to a factor of ten.

[sys]

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

['taterblast]

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

[Dr Rick Daris]

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
