Picking your nose

That's interesting. I tend to get my best ideas in the shower. Something about being naked and having hot water all over you really clears your mind.

 

Sometimes i don't know why i bother, i think i am going to keep my intellectual debates to religion/philosophy forum from now on, although that is also often disappointing.

For the record i was challenging your statement that "Saying that such a natural human function as picking your nose is gross is simply idiotic." I was actually using the example of poo being just as natural as picking your nose but myself perceiving it as gross, with out believing that perception to be idiotic.

So please don't put words in my mouth, although i am not entirely fond of nose picking im not going to ridicule any one for it.

 

If you had an experiment involving a subject, a glass a water, a sterilized cockroach, and told the subject what the deal was... Took the cockroach out, and asked the subject to now drink the water, the subject wouldn't, because it's natural to think of the water as somehow contaminated. The subject would just think it's gross. That somehow something was left behind; it's instinct. I guess the same applies to picking your nose... It's natural, but it's still nasty. But... ya, I wouldn't care if others do it... just wash your hands afterwards

 

3-second rule...

Scientifically proven to be untrue, yet many many people are ok with the 3-second rule.

It all comes down to squeamishness...and what level yours is at.

I have kids, before that I could not handle other people's shit and puke and boogers...my husband has seen me hold out my hand to actually CATCH puke from the source...he was pretty grossed out
Kids are an adventure in bodily functions...

 

If I don't pick my nose, what will I eat...? Pfft, duh...

 

haha that's what I said...so are you still coming over for dinner tonight?

 

NUH UH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it's the THIRTY second rule, and it was scientifically proven that it takes bacteria at least 30 seconds to reach the food :H

useless knowledge finally has a use!

wow I just looked at that date on the article, and I remembered about something I read like a year ago?

I remember that and not useful learning school stuff? My brain sucks!

 

So, great minds do think alike...

Oooh, are you still having booger stew wish a side of snot salad?? Count me in!!

 

I adapt the 5-second rule to be as many seconds as it's going to take me to pick up a slab of meat or whatever from the floor (or wherever.) so sometimes it's the 3 second rule, other times it's the 20 second rule.

at the end of the day, it takes something truly dirty to deter me from eating it ... uhh... oh, and picking my nose is one of my favorite activities!

 

Just don't eat anything you may drop on my living room rug....the cat like to have butt races there...

 

It's also been scientifically proven that kids begin to understand contamination from a certain age (My example before was a real psychological study, btw). We probably just LEARNED to override our instincts by learning of the 3-second rule... like re-wiring our brains.

If you drop your potato chip in dog poo, it's still going to have dog poo on it.

I was always grossed out when I found my grandma's hair in the food that she prepared for me. Being five years old, and finding a red-curly granny hair in your food is very traumatic.

 

I know this guy who is my age and sometimes pick he's nose public. It looks grose when someone else doe's it but it is irritating to have stuff there so let's just not do it when we have people around

 

only when its on strike.
