what say you?
follow up: do you carry a snotty booger rag in your pocket, otherwise known as a handkerchief???

Right or wrong: blowing your nose in public

- Start date
Blowing nose: yes. If it's socially acceptable to sneeze with minimum coverage (hand, elbow, tissue) then it should be more acceptable to make it so you don't have to do that. Also keeps people from hobo-blowing, picking their nose, and dripping snot everywhere.
Handkerchief: no. That's nasty.

Dude, I watched a table with 11 people in a J Alexander's change a baby/toddler's diaper, on the table, in the middle of the restaurant while people were eating, and then left the dirty diaper ON THE GD TABLE with their dishes when they left. Most surreal, oblivious, team no ***** thing I have ever seen.
The tension in that place was palpable. Nobody said a word b/c it was a black family. True MF story.
Blowing your nose is as natural as farting. Let er rip.

LMAO. Never thought about that.
This happened in the mid 90's in B'ham. Told this story a dozen times. Oddly, the sticking point is always how all 11 people at that table deemed the act acceptable behavior... and NOBODY else in the entire place said even a word. When their party got up and left, you could hear the din get louder with disgust. It was an experience.
I own 3 handkerchiefs and they reside in their original box. They were given to me when my grandfather died in 89. They are custom embroidered with his initials and some fancy scroll work. I wouldn't dream of snotting in them.
That's not true bro........the last time I was wif yo mamma , her panties had racing stripes in the crotch ! True story ![poop]
you got to be ******* kidding me. Left the **** diaper ON THE TABLE? Do you think that is worse than a mother at a public park let her kid who can stand pee in the grass? I don't blame the manager for not going over. I'd be terrified without high capacity mag firearm. You're asking for a level 1 chimpout if you spout some civility at them.

seems to me that proper etiquette would be to find a private spot, maybe a restroom, and clear the pipes in there???
****. Try doing that at Buffalo Wild Wings when you've just ate a Blazin' chicken wing. My nose looks like Mt Etna at the table.
Pretty much a general rule that, if the secretion of bodily fluids/release of gas takes place above the waist, it's somewhat ok, socially.
1. Sneeze - yes
2. Hiccup - yes
3. Burp - not ideal, but kinda ok
4. Breathing - Yes
5. Nose dripping/blowing - try not to do it on someone, but yes.
6. Ear wax - maybe the exception to the rule.
7. Spitting - if outside, go for it
8. Bleeding - usually can't help it, try not to do it on someone
9. Crying - grow up, but yes
---------------------------------------the line ----------------------------------------------
10. flatulence - no thanks
11. Making stool - no. stop it
12. Making water - really. quit
13. ejaculate - that's it's I'm calling the cops.
Need any more proof? Casually clip or file your fingernail around other people. Now, try your toes.

Knew that's fact before I even got to this point of your post.
Incorrect.
- Yes. Beside a stack of plates. They had carryout boxes, too.
- Nope. Natural acts performed in nature aren't nearly as offensive as smearing fecal matter in a public eatery. So, a kid pissed on a tree? So did another kid 30 minutes ago, 6 dogs, countless birds and probably a racoon/squirrel/opossum at some point. It's nature. Health Dept will never win that battle.
Cmon it's Burmingham. They enjoyed talking about it going home in the back of the bus
My father blows his nose after every mother frigging sons a beaching meal. Whether at home or at a restaurant. He will blow it inside the restaurant instead of in the parking lot. I think it is totally habit now and don't think he even needs to blow it. Kinda gets on my nerves, but oh well, hes almost 80, let someone say something to him and they will answer to me.
If anything objectionable comes out of your body it is polite to do that in private. Snot is objectionable. Blow in the bathroom, flush the offending germ-filled snot and tissue, then wash your hands.
Have a friend I play volleyball with. Every time we play he heads to his gym bag between games, digs out a handkerchief, blows, then tucks that nasty snotty rag back in the bag. Uses same one between each game. At least 6 games. Yuck!
I have a co-worker that likes the snort, hock, spit method of snot removal. Does it at his desk and spits in his waste basket. Double yuck!

Snorting in shnot is disgraziadd.
How bout those who break out a dirty handkerchief and dig knuckle-deep up their nostril for gold - as if that diaphanous gauzy cloth makes the separation from ******* nasty to socially acceptable. It isn't.
Pick your fuggin shnoz elsewhere and certainly nowhere near food. Gross douchebags.

Personally, I'd prefer a more discreet approach to clearing my breathing passages: Go to the men's room, stand at the urinal (You can do anything while standing at the urinal for it's a man rule that you never look at a man standing at a urinal), ram the index finger up the opposite nostril and start mining. Upon removing any sources of blockage, directly apply your prize to the wall directly above the urinal.
Much better than carrying the stuff around on a rag in your pocket.

Lot of old timers kill at this. I don't know why, but it's like a damn slime spigot.
There's some guy out there with the last name Nose that believes this is all perfectly acceptable.
