To think this should be done in private?

[lils888]

Blowing your nose.

AIBU to suggest that if anything is exiting your body (with the exception of breastmilk) then it should be done in a locked toilet away from me.

No I'm not BU. It's gross. Guess this thread was pretty redundant

lol cross post Gwen

If my nose needs blowing then I struggle to breathe enough to eat? I can't breathe through my mouth if I'm eating can I? Nose blocked and mouth full of food = Hypoxia, Surely?

I'd love to visit Japan. A relative has just come back from there and says it's the most polite place on the planet. I abhor bad manners and i think i'd be in heaven.

Although i would have had been under house arrest if i'd been there with my snorting episode

It is better than covering one nostril and blowing the snot out of the other one onto the pavement though as I saw someone do the other day

Do it in public. But don't look at the contents afterwards

More people should blow their flipping noses. Am thinking of handing out tissues on buses to all the sniffing idiots

Slightly

Yes. They think they are professional footballers. idiots

A face means you are jealous

Or possibly covered in snot?

My great, great grandmother was Japanese. I don't usually identify with my Japanese heritage but in this case I'd have to say that yes, I am totally Japanese

The ones that make me jump are the dry trumpet ones.

@NotAgainYoda

It's the closest thing to vomit and I like to express myself through emojis. Mumsnet are failing me here.

Assume = heaving for this post. Not usually a jealous person so I'd hate to waste an emoji

NotagainYoda yes cos nothing says ‘professional footballer’ quite so much as a fag, carrier-bag full of tennents and lack of a tissue

Yes YABU

I think it's bad manners to blow your nose in the company of people who are eating. Otherwise,I'm not too bothered. Rather that than them constantly sniffing loudly,or making hideous snortling noises in their throat!

A envy face means you are jealous That's right but I find most people use this emoji for vomit or yes covered in snot.

I’m a private blower but don’t feel too strongly about others. My office is attached to my classroom at work, so I regularly disappear in there for a good old snortle, which means I can also use my compact to check my nasal cavities for lingering curtains of snot before returning to my classes.

I'm always telling DM how repulsive it is when she noisly blows her nose at the table. She otherwise has perfect manners having been extremely well brung up but this VILE snot removal. Repulsive.

I completely agree. Certain situation, like someone with a cold on a bus, are completely unavoidable. Sometimes it is just downright bad manners and absolutely gross.

Some people, like my MIL, do it out of habit at the dinner table. Every single time she finishes a meal, she’ll take her tissue out and give a big old heaving blow of her nose whilst we’re still eating. Makes my stomach turn every time. (And no she doesn’t have allergies, nasal drip, nervous disposition to food or anything else like that - it is just a habit).

I'm quite glad there's no 'vomit' emoji. Eeeeeewwwwww!!

It is preferably to snot running down your face on the tube I would say.

Now THAT would make you heave

This was a man, I'd guess 70s with a one of those handkerchiefs. It's not only the fact that I was in a restaurant (eating Thai green curry of course) but the handkerchief. He's used it twice now.

The toilet not only protects me from feeling disgusted but it also has disposable tissues and a sink to wash your hands.

I heard that snot, it was Jurassic, and now two loads are back in his pocket in the same piece of cloth.

(vomit, vomit, vomit)

Not surprised it was a man in his 70s. It's predominantly older men who carry handkerchiefs. In their eyes it's the height of politeness

Funny isn't it, one persons sickening act is another's form of politeness

YANBU as long as you don't mind me allowing my nose to stream great rivers of snot over my lips and down my chin and all over my chest (which is what would happen if I didn't blow my nose when the weather is very cold)

Today I saw a woman in a busy high street wiping the arse of her dog who had clearly had an attack of diarrhoea with a tiny tissue then hand said shit soaked tissue to her 8 yr old DD (I didn't see what her DD did with said tissue as I had to look away by this point). Now that made me heave.....

There are worse things - like people eating with their mouths open! This does turn my stomach.

i detest folk who spit or clear their throat in public but as long as they use a tissue to blow their noses i dont have an issue with that
