To think it's absolutely fucking vile

[WetsTheFinger]

To suck the snot out of your child's nose and swallow it. Or spit it, for that matter. I just heaved watching a woman do this to her snotty toddler this afternoon at soft play.

Oh what?, That's absolutely vile. Why not use a sleeve or tissue or something?. I'm gagging imagining this blek.

Grim.

oh my god, I nearly heaved then!! Why would you do that???!!!

Is this a joke ?

Shut up!

Most definitely not a joke. I witnessed it with my own horrified eyes just half an hour ago. I honestly thought I was going to be sick.

OMG vile disgusting woman!!!! This has made me feel sick ffs what is the matter with people?

I think it's to do with the fact that they don't know how to blow their noses etc and get really congested. I am sure I read this somewhere

Ive seen this before but the woman spat it out , she didn't swallow IT , that IS grim

Waste not, want not.

Oh my God, that is fucking rank. I can hardly believe what I just read. I think you may have just started a vomit tsunami with that gem!

It's the same as using a nosefrida except the snot doesn't get into one's mouth with the nosefrida

Jeez. I would have been gagging and heaving if I'd seen that. I can cope with all bodily fluids except snot and people hawking phlegm .

I've heard of people doing this but not then fucking swallowing it!!!! Beyond grim.

This is my face reading this!

It's quite common in some cultures.

I've used the snot sucker machine in the past, but in my mouth???! Bleaurgh!!

TheStoic - to swallow the snot as well???!

Just be glad you didn't see her change a nappy. The mind boggles.

Which cultures is this common in?

I've never witnessed anything like that before. I do remember reading about someone doing it to a baby in Angela's Ashes. I think the baby was struggling to breathe. I don't think they swallowed it though.

Boke. That really is vile

Aaarrrgghhh someone pass me the brain bleach

My husband does this and he says it is not a big deal where he is from. He's south East Asian. I'd never do this myself as I would vomit but there's no doubt it is effective when they're too young to blow their noses!

Thats is disgusting. Seriously!

Oh and he's spits it out
