It has become extremely disturbing how many adults I see each week with their hand in their nose on the subway. It is beyond disgusting to me. For this reason, I have come up with reasons why you should NOT pick your nose is public OR private. I really am only concerned with public picking though since it directly effects me. Please spread the word to end Public Picking.
Reasons You Should NOT Pick Your Nose:
1. The things you are taking out of your nose are germs. Doing this action puts germs on your hands and wherever you touch.
2. If you're over the age of 5 there is really no excuse.
3. Picking your nose with a bare finger can cause a bloody nose.
4. You don't look at all attractive doing this.
5. You continuously test my gag reflex.
6. There are several different kinds of tissues to do the same job without the mess. Get a CVS coupon or just go to a public bathroom and take a bunch of toilet paper to use for this purpose.
7. If you're the lucky person I see when I snap I WILL say something to you and probably repeat these reasons aloud in public to embarrass you.
8. No matter what your excuse....it is NEVER okay.
9. I'd almost rather see a roach on the train than you doing this.
10. I WILL throw up on you.
I may start handing out packets of tissues on the train as people enter. This must stop. Spread the word to end public nose picking.
