    If I’ve got a sharp booger or a general blockage, imma deal with it. Sanitation is important, but I’m not gonna be uncomfortable for the sake of others feelings. I’m not looking for a snack, just a little relief. It’s one of if life’s small victories.

    I am in Vietnam at the moment and here public nose picking is common. Was one of my culture shocks as a Canadian.
