Bad manners

I'm currently sat on a bus. The man behind me is doing that deep sniffing/snorting/swallowing his own snot thing that people do instead of blowing their nose. It's disgusting! And it's making me feel quite queasy.
No-one would consider sitting in public continuously burping or farting. AIBU to consider this equally bad manners?

I would have had to spin round and scowl tbh.

I've seen much worse on a bus
Move if its annoying you

Can you continuously fart? Surely you'd run out of gas.

Do you mean circular farting? That would be impressive!

YANBU

but you are naive if you think that being in public stops some people to burp/fart or spit. Some people are just vile.

Maybe he has a cold and has run out of tissues. Offer him one.

You'd hate me then, I have post nasal drip, reflux and very unruly sinuses. No point in my blowing my nose because it won't make a blind bit of difference.
I'll remember to take my neck placard and bell out next time so people are forewarned Grin

Hand him a tissue

Just be glad you can get off the bus and leave him behind! I would also feel sick. I used to work with a man who did that constantly.
