Be honest, am I the only one who does this?

No you're not alone.

What's the point of mining nose gold if you can't enjoy it?

🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Not even as a child, always wondered what possessed kids to do this gross thing...

Dontknowwhyidoit · 31/05/2024 21:12

My daughter does it but it makes me feel sick. It is not something I would ever do.

Mumofyellows · 31/05/2024 21:12

Erm, no I don't do that. I'm a teacher and it really makes me feel sick when kids do it too! 🤮

theaa · 31/05/2024 21:38

Precisely @TuesdayWhistler where else would you put the goods?

No sorry... Straight into a tissue!!! 🤢🤢😂😂

WimpoleHat · 31/05/2024 21:42

Honestly, I think it’s almost on a par with eating your own shit. It makes my stomach turn. Each to his own, though….😂

ComtesseDeSpair · 31/05/2024 21:42

I don’t, but I also don’t see why it’s particularly disgusting. It’s just mucus made by your own body, it’s not inherently grosser than the saliva in your mouth or the phlegm you naturally swallow if you don’t cough it up properly.

Justcallmebebes · 31/05/2024 21:45

My dad used to do this, quite openly and unashamedly and it made me feel sick. He was a shit dad too and I hated him

Theselovelylightevenings · 31/05/2024 21:46

Eurgh, goes through me.

However, if I pick I do give it to my dog 🙈she loves it

justnormaI · 31/05/2024 21:48

Absolutely not and it blows my mind that people actually do this , what the actual f*ck

Yeah I don't either, but do agree with this.

justnormaI · 31/05/2024 21:51

I just asked dp has he ever and he said YES. Omg i feel sick. I said it's equivalent to sticking your finger in your ear and getting it covered in ear wax and eating it , he disagrees. I cannot wrap my head around people picking their nose and eating it

Screamingabdabz · 31/05/2024 21:52

Even when children, who are too young to know any better, do it I want to tell them off and say to use a tissue. There is absolutely no excuse for grown adults to excavate the contents of their nostrils and eat it. It’s utterly remedial and vomitous.

KikiShaLeeBopDeBopBop · 31/05/2024 21:53

Ew

Wish I'd never opened this

CassandraProphesying · 31/05/2024 21:54

I feel a bit queasy.
But at the same time I find myself wondering if doing this might somehow convey some sort of protection against viruses that the nose harbours. I wonder if anyone has studied it?
Ok, boak, need to stop thinking about it now.

LeaveTheClocksAlone · 31/05/2024 21:54

Absolutely NOT that's disgusting

AllProperTeaIsTheft · 31/05/2024 21:54

Revolting.

Newsround · 31/05/2024 21:55

Absolutely disgusting 🤮

It makes me sick just to read it…

Naran · 31/05/2024 21:56

I feed them to the dog. He loves them.

Whyoohwhyohwhyyyy · 31/05/2024 21:57

Absolutely grim. Question for those who do it - just why?!
Does it taste nice or can't you be bothered to get up and find a tissue? Please explain!

Cooroo · 31/05/2024 21:58

Yes. Sorry. Wouldn't want to see anyone else doing it but yes I do.

TryingToSeeTheFunnySide · 31/05/2024 22:01

I don't personally have an interest in doing this. But, no judgement of others who do, provided it's in private. Who's it harming?!
