ok so now we know everyone pees in the shower...
www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/1291730-Aibu-to-pee-in-the-shower

so who will admit to the satisfaction of picking a juicy bogey out and eating it away from prying eyes?

Why does it taste so good if it is 'so wrong' ?

You made me laugh.

Watch the Nina and the Neurons episode about bogeys and it will put you off...

I never, ever, ever ever understood why anyone would even think of doing that

And I seem to remember some people I went to school with doing it ..... Why???

slightlymad72 · 02/09/2011 19:17

I did read somewhere (forgive me I can't remember where) there is a theory that eating your bogeys helps to boost your immune system, and one of the reasons that children may suffer from more allergies is because we don't let them pick their nose and eat it. I think I'll keep my immune system the way it is

Happymm · 02/09/2011 19:18

Actually, Just, I think I made it clear I don't pee in the shower-dirty beeaatches do! :o

And I don't pick my nose and eat my boogers either

Wrong, just wrong. What the jeff is going on in this place? :o

Hoto · 02/09/2011 19:18

My (otherwise elegant and demure) sister does this. She loves the pick but apparently can't bear to rid herself of the detritus on a hanky / clothing / furniture etc. She's got a point..

Eating your own mucus/dirt/dust/bacteria is horrid.

Peeing in the bath is not....pee is sterile and gets washed down the plughole along with all your sweat and dirt and bits from your bottom hole.

You don't ingest your pee while showering.

Yes YABU.

If it makes you feel better, I love picking my nose and eating it. But I think that peeing in the bath/shower is gross.

pizzadelivery · 02/09/2011 22:50

Bogeys (sp?) and peeing in shower are both gross and I wouldn't do either.
However if I had to chose

a)next shower person stepping in my wee
b) bogey on my tongue then sliding down my throat

(a) every bloody time cos I'm not gonna tell them about it!

ME ME ME ME! Ill admit to it! Grin
The absolute best ones are the ones that are big and crusty at one end, and long and stretchy at the other, and when you pull em, you can feel them tickling your tonsils! Grin

Saggyoldclothcatpuss · 03/09/2011 00:16

I honestly believe, that anyone who says they dont enjoy a good puggle is a big fat liar! Grin

Snot is nectar.

Pee is only sterile inside the bladder unless you have an infection. It's not completely sterile once it leaves the body.

BTW did you know that some people, stranded in the desert, have been known to drink their own pee to try and avoid dehydration. But it a simple case of pee and drink as soon as it's done. Can't remember where I read/heard that (a good few years ago), but it wasn't on the internet.

madhattershouse · 03/09/2011 00:37

Curl it up and lick it!

Saggyoldclothcatpuss · 03/09/2011 00:39

Pick it, lick it, roll it, flick it.

Mum "Francis are you picking your nose?"
F "No mum"
Mum " Francis I can see you, are you picking your nose?"
F "yes Mum"
Mum " Well don't be greedy, share it around!"

HeadfirstForHalos · 03/09/2011 02:04

Okay, I have NEVER told anyone this in RL.

When I was in primary school, aged about 8/9 I used to pick my nose in the girls toilets and wipe it on the wall (oh the shame). I don't know why i did it, but I did and never really thought anything of it.

Until...the very strict Headmaster of my RC school held a special assembly in which he was furiously shaking as he discussed the "nose dirt" problem in the girls toilets. He kept talking about it for ages and constantly referred to it as "nose dirt".

I was so terrified they would know it was me just by looking at my face I nearly wee'd myself Blush

I've never done it since Grin

I've never eaten my bogeys though (retch) although on occasion I have caught dh doing so (usually in the car) and bollock him for it, though he denied it vehemently (I had something in my teeth etc Grin

HeadfirstForHalos · 03/09/2011 02:09

But YANBU as I cannot possibly judge after being the nose dirt culprit.

to eating it!

Boogerbabe · 15/01/2023 21:41

Im a middle aged married woman, and I admit, I pick my nose and eat it. I've always done it and love it!!

JudgeRudy · 16/01/2023 02:43

I've blown my nose into hands and licked it, mostly because I don't see the need for a tissue (I sometimes dry my hands on my clithed bum too). I most definitely have eaten a bogey because I recall what it tastes and feels like but I can't 'remember ' doing it. Snot though, yeah regularly, if I'm in the shower I'll just rinse it off but if not I might clean my hands with my mouth. Tastes like tears.
