Nose-picking is an extremely common habit, with some surveys indicating that it is almost universal, with people picking their nose an average of about four times a day. A 1995 study into nose picking, requesting information from 1,000 randomly selected adults, gathered 254 respondents. It defined nose-picking as “the insertion of a finger (or other object) into the nose with the intention of removing dried nasal secretions”. Of those who responded, 91% said they were current nose pickers (but only 75% of these believed everyone did it). In many cultures nose-picking is considered a private act akin to defecation, urination, flatulence, and belching. Mucophagy, the act of eating the extracted mucus, may be considered more taboo, and is sometimes portrayed in comedies. To be caught nose-picking may be considered humiliating. [source]
Do you ever pick your nose? Have you ever been caught in the act? Do you ever eat it?

DAMN!
Oh, and I love picking my nose. I do it all the time. And then I flick them. Round and round they go, where they stop, nobody nose! (See what I did there?)
I love to flick too!
When you walk on my floor, you hear CRUNCH CRUNCH with every step because of all the dried boogers that litter the floor.
Um, no, let’s not discuss. Ewwwwww……
HUGS….
Hey, for those of us who are extra phlegmy, a nose pick is a requirement. I don’t flick though. I use a tissue. And to totally gross out Polt: because they are way too sticky to flick. That stuff is like spackle, I swear.
They’re sticky? Weird! Mine are usually pretty flaky unless I have a cold. I can understand your lack of flicking — I’d imagine that sticky boogers would be difficult to flick.
Like super glue I tell you. But this is from the same person who pulled the equivalent of a glue stick out of his nose during a particularly bad sinus infection.
Oh god. Does this mean I have farting and burping posts to (not) look forward to?
Ar least it wasn’t lady part hate.
