to think that everyone has ate a bogey

[Farmerswife36]

School mum at my dd school is adament that no one , unless they have been brought up with zero manners would pick their nose and eat it ? One poor 5year old was in the home time queue and he was having a right good rummage and eating his findings from his nose . Most mums found it funny but one said that the dc was disgusting and had not been brought up to have manners ? I said that most people at some point have ate their bogeys and it's no big deal . Aibu to think the dc was just being an innocent kid or should our kids be conscious and aware that picking their noses in public is deemed un acceptable? I'm sorry but il admit even as an adult Iv picked my nose and in privacy have ate it ? I'm sure most people do and so bloody what !

Boosts the immune system!

Does it ?? Haha 😂

Child is just being a child. Mum needs to get over herself.

I have never to my knowledge eaten a bogey. Toenails, yes, but not bogeys. I have standards!

FYI it's "have eaten", not "have ate".

And yes you are being ridiculous as well as unreasonable.

She was adamant that the dc had zero manners and class !

No, gross, I have never in my life eaten snot!

Pepperpot aren't you the charmer ! How am I unreasonable?

I eat mine, in private of course!

Bet u did as a kid average wife

Let kids be kids I say

Toenails Iv not yet tried meredintofpandiculstion

I don't believe anyone that says they have NEVER ATE A BOGEY ! huge fat liars !

I do. And toenails. And the skin around my fingernails.
Earwax tastes awful though. Possibly poisonous in large doses.

I don't think everyone has. Some people have been conditioned into the same disgust-reflex for snot as everyone has for poo, if that's how forceful their education about it was when they were little. Others whose parents didn't push the "disgusting" response and we're just told to never do that in public are probably quite happy to have a good old rummage so long as they aren't somewhere inappropriate like in a job interview.

I said that most people at some point have ate their bogeys and it's no big deal . Aibu to think the dc was just being an innocent kid or should our kids be conscious and aware that picking their noses in public is deemed un acceptable?

Two things here

1. Yes, I'd say 99% of people have eaten their own snot at some point in their lives.

2. Yes, kids should be made aware that publicly eating snot is unacceptable.

No one wants to see someone having a good snot munch. It should be a very private pleasure!

Sorry but eating poo is very different to eating a teeny bit of bogey? I am terrible for eating my skin round my nails and I am in heaven when I get to squeeze a huge spot or my dhs blackheads . I love love love spots, cysts , blackheads etc( I don't eat those for the record ) . I love love love dr pimple popper on you tube doing guess I'm not disgusted or shocked at kids or people eating the odd bogey

Oh dear the spelling police are on patrol!

I agree plumes

No absolutely never, I used to pick my nose but never eat it!!

I also have never eaten a toenail, gross! I have smelt the crap underneath my toenails though...which is a bit weird.

I do take great satisfaction out of dislodging ear wax though!

No. And not a word of a lie. I've always had an absolute horror of snot, even as a small child! 😂 I go mad if I ever see my kids doing it. Physically turns my stomach!

Yep they are out in force anothernetter

One would think, we were handing in our final degree papers, rather than posting on an Internet forum!

I guess everyone's drunk snot, though. As in - you have a bad cold, and it trickles down your throat, so you swallow.

I haven't, the thought turns my stomach. It's on par with popping a spot and eating the pus, or coughing up phlegm and licking it off your hand, at least to me.
In other news, I'm not grossed out by poo in the slightest...wouldn't eat it, though ;)
