YANBU, tell him to flick them out of the window instead Grin

picnicbasketcase · 26/08/2011 16:44

DP wipes it on the front of the seat by his legs Angry

ledkr · 26/08/2011 16:49

oh gross, how can you have sex with someone who wipes their bogeys everywhere/

nagynolonger · 26/08/2011 16:51

I used to find them stuck to the ceiling when the DC had bunk beds. Used to make me feel sick. I have no problem cleaning up vomit or poo but snot anywhere but in a tissue is revolting.

strictlyclassroom · 26/08/2011 16:51

I bet if dh found himself a hot new woman he wouldn't do this!!! Ewww. Tackled him about it and then a huge argument ensued. All because of bogeys! Got to laugh (sort of).

strictlyclassroom · 26/08/2011 17:52

Least their not picking and eating them . The amount of elder gentlemen I see doing this when in traffic is revolting. Now I don't mind picking a bogey or two (can't stand the sight of then in my DS's little nose), but eat them, blurgh!

HairyBeaver · 26/08/2011 17:55

Could be worse, he could be flicking them AT you Grin

MissPenteuth · 26/08/2011 17:57

Hmm, pooey cottonbuds, then drool, now bogeys...

TheMagnificentBathykolpian · 26/08/2011 19:39

Why don't you do it - well, as convincing an impression as you can manage. See if he thinks it looks nice.

What the hell is wrong with a tissue anyway?

ChippingIn · 26/08/2011 19:42

dontquotem3 - you'd be amazed at the number of MNers who eat their bogeys... I was absolutely horrified and some of the most unlikely ones too.... weird. The thread had me heaving!!!!!!!!!!

OP YANBU - He.Would.Be.Told

strictlyclassroom · 26/08/2011 22:12

So AIBU to ask him not to do it then?

@ ChippingIn Ergh, nasty!!! I thought most would have 'grown out of it', guess I was wrong. I see you didn't link that particular thread Grin

fourkids · 27/08/2011 15:50

YANBU but at least on the floor you just tread on them. If you try and stop him, he might start covertly wiping them on the door to the glove compartment, or the sterring wheel...where they might provide extra grip for hazardous driving conditions.

deliakate · 27/08/2011 17:04

Why don't men like using tissues? There could be a tissue right there, and DH would still insist on using his finger, and then rolling it around and flicking.

OpinionatedMum · 27/08/2011 17:41

Buy a box of tissues for the car. If that fails, put up a sign, visible to all, about the correct disposal of snot. Hopefully he will take the hint.

cheesespread · 27/08/2011 21:27

my dad does this and wipes it on the bit were the handbrake is,men always pick there nose when driving i see it all the time lol

defrocked · 27/08/2011 21:37

i used to work with a doctor who would pick his nose while dictating his notes, then wipe it on the underside of the desk

no lie ! lol

Mumcentreplus · 27/08/2011 21:46

People who pick their noses and eat it disgust me...

once I was sitting on the tube I looked down and right by the person opposite me's leg...a huge-arse bogey!!! it was unnaturally big...I had to tell them....

ThePathanKhansWoman · 27/08/2011 22:09

Leave the bastard.

strictlyclassroom · 28/08/2011 10:35
