To think it is disgusting to "blow" your nose by wrapping your hanky round your fingers and shoving it up each nostril?

Undoubtedly disgusting.

As is a 'hanky'. Bleurgh.

Please don't judge me Blush I have a problem were I cant blow my nose. I really can't. When I see other people do it, it makes me feel weak

So... When I have a runny nose I go to the bathroom and do what you have described.

In private though. With tissues. Then flush them.
That woman was being gross Sad

You'll find this gross in that case!

FushiaFernica · 27/12/2012 12:32

I'd agree with naysa maybe she can't blow her nose. Better than picking her nose.

It depends. I sometimes get nose bleeds from blowing my nose so often just push a tissue up there but never in public!

trinitybleu · 27/12/2012 12:51

I'm the same as Naysa ... Am jealous of. people who can blow! Try to do it in private wherever possible, but sometimes needs must.

I can't blow my nose either, always have to go to the loo to deal with it in private! I would never do it in front of people! DISGUSTING!

Worked with a lovely woman who did this all the time mid-conversation. I don't think she realised it was kind of gross, but she was known as the nose-stuffer Sad

She could blow her nose though, she did that frequently too.

I thought I was the only person that couldn't blow my nose. In order to do it I would have to muster up far too much courage and its just too stressful. I work I could though.

But yes, that woman was gross. To be honest the sound of a really snotty nose just turns my stomach too.
