    When and where did society decide that picking one's nose was some kind of unacceptable practice?

    Why, too, is scratching an itch anywhere but 2 places, socially acceptable?

    Who, or where was it, decided that the sound of a fart is embarrassing?

    People are disgusting.

    I can't tell you how many times I have been in the mens room, only to see men pee & then not wash their hands.... freakin' sick.

    That said, i'm sure you have some habits that one would consider nasty...

    you know what they say about people in glass houses!

    This culture discourages picking noses, but you don't know about other ones.

    Also, maybe they think no one is looking.

    I just have no idea why you have to ask a question on this, you already answered yourself.

    They think no is looking.

    I do it because I don't care what people think of me we all pick our nose and if it needs picked I pick, what is the big deal. Why is it gross. Because our parents told us not to do it? I don't get it we are humans, just another for of animals. We wear clothes because we are told to so it is gross to go naked? Thats the way er were born. Please step out side of the box for a least 3 minutes of your life.

    I try not to do that in public but guess what...if it bothers me enough I'll pick my nose or adjust my crotch right then and there....sorry to have offended anyone.

    Maybe you have done it too without noticing!

    It is normal, kinda gross for other people, but it's just a human effort to clean themeselves!

    :-D

    man, sometimes you just have to remove that one annoying booger lodged in an annoying way in your nose. I don't care what anyone else thinks, I just need to get that sucker out.

    of direction you are able to p.c.. your nostril in public. must you? No!!! you will look like a slob, and it fairly is a grimy habit. it would sense high-quality, even nonetheless it incredibly would not look high-quality!!!! to place it blankly: NO!

    I like to gross people out.

    I also like to ensure people don't use my computer and touch my stuff at work when I'm away from my cubicle. It works.
