Is Nose Blowing in Public a Generational Difference?

[phoenix:\\]

OK y'all, getcher minds out of the gutter!

I actually kept my mind in the gutter when reading the post just to pick up on the various innuendos, uh...

To Blow, or Not To Blow?

I made an observation

oh?

I wonder if this is a true generational difference.

So I want to know: Has anyone else noticed this?

and roughly how old are you?

For one, I think it's icky, and for two, since I'll need to wash my hands afterward anyway I figure it's best to go to the washroom.

I think it's especially unpleasant when people do it in restaurants

But, no, I don't do it...

Why don't people wash their hands more often after using a Kleenex? I blow my nose when I need to, public or not. I am concerned, however, that some of the effluent might not be completely "blown away."

Guys with hairy noses, swimmers, the very young and the very old, the slovenly, snuff and cocaine users, and animals

If you're that worried about cooties, don't ever handle money again, or use hand rails or door knobs or take your kids on play-dates or touch stuff at the grocery store.

I hear they sell bubbles for this kind of thing.
