When did blowing your nose...

[isee]

Into the air become rmeotely acceptable?

Cycling into work the other day and a pedestrian walking in the oposite direction just shuts one nostril with his thumb and blows...
Disgusting! I think to myself and wondered how completely not mindful of people around you, you must be to do something like this.

Then, last friday cycling behind another cyclist (not too close luckily) when he does exactly the same manevure (then wipes whatever got stuck to his hand on his ass)

Had i been any closer behind him I'd probably just push him off his bike.. that is after i finished puking...

Please tell me that never happens and i was just unlucky to see the only two pigs like this on the planet, because I find that thoroughly disguisting and would rather see people stting on street corners (not that i find that acceptable either) than blowing their noses into air like that...

I see a lot of cylists do this.

I can only presume they have a built up of mucus and can't be arsed to pull over a blow properly.

My first thought.

Monkey see, monkey do.

Doesn't make it socially acceptable though. It's revolting. Much in the same way as spitting.

I think it boils down to the fact that we're a multi-cultural country now. With different cultures come different forms of behaviour.

You're right. Footballers are literally the only people who have ever done this. Ever.

Long-distance runners are well known for stopping to pull out a handy-pack of tissues when they feel a nasal obstruction. They then tend to hunt around for a recycling bin, to make sure that their mucus is deposited appropriately.

Feel free to slate footballers all you like (as I'm no great fan of the cretins), but you make yourself look a little bit silly when you're making up reasons to dislike them.

[littlegreenfairy]

That is vile behaviour.

Sniffing isn't much better. I've been known to offer complete strangers tissues as I find sniffing just disgusting.

Yes, sniffing really is disgraceful. You should be aiming for a full-on snort, culminating in that grating sound as you drag the jolly mess down the back of your throat.

You can't beat bellowing a full bellyfull of aborted mucus into the toilet bowl following a successful day's snorting.

Sniffing? Pah.

I do this regularly when I'm out on my bike or running. I did a race yesterday and people were doing it all the time. I wasn't going to pull a tissue out of my trisuit to clear my nose of the Serpentine. When training I'm usually dripping sweat everywhere, so a bit of snot isn't going to hurt.

Granted I wouldn't dream of it when not in 'exercise' mode (and outdoors), but why do you think it is acceptable to push another cyclist off his bike for it? Do you go around pushing people over who spit on the floor? 2 wrongs and all that...

And now you mention it, i've never seen anyone other than caucasian males doing this.
ok, bar some asian chavvy types.

Seeing as I was behind him and if I were any closer the mucus would have landed on me, I would rage, push him off his bike, feel slightly better, then hurry to leave the scene before that big bd could kick my head in...

Yes it's disgusting. But you'd rather see people st in the street, seriously?

Yes, because I would nto be in danger of having it land on me.

I doubt someone actually aimed their nostril at you and fired.

I'd rather not see either, but if I was given the choice I'd choose seeing someone snot shoot than st.

I think you're misinterpreting the word "cultures" as the word "races". I was referring to the chav culture who seem to think it's acceptable to do both of the above and have absolutely no grasp of how scratty it makes them appear. Which is funny, seeing as they seem to wear an abundance of Argos comedy gold jewellery in an apparent attempt to make them seem higher up the social class ladder. Perhaps it's me that's misinterpreting them.

Nope, that's to aid punching people in the face whilst robbing them...

[The Wookie]

I've done it on my bike more than once, but I do make an effort to wait until I'm fairly sure no-one is watching.

I also do it in the shower regularly (and no the puns are far to obvious)
