But smart enough to be former MI and as a civi to write and sell software programs to the DOD. He made enough money to coast along. Last I read about him he owned a hog farm and lived in the Philippines.
oh jeez! I seriously thought that stuff only happened in kindergarten.
So my wife is very observant. Whenever she drives, she's always pointing out the people in the cars that are picking their noses. People don't realize that they're oftentimes being observed in the rear view mirror and their personal habits taken note of.
BLeck...I know what you mean. People think they're in their little bubble, maybe some slightly tinted windows..nobody will notice if they go knuckle deep up their nostril. I also notice, at like 80mph. I'm somewhat of a OODA loop person, not sure why. It takes all kinds I guess.
When I first started dating her I was surprised at the number of people who publicly picked their noses - especially in their cars. Windows are transparent! My gramps always taught me to blow your nose into a hankie/tissue or take care of it privately.
I KEKed at the freeway reference. Thing is, now that they've dug that booger out, what do they do with it?? It's why I always wash my hands after shaking hands with new people. People are unhygienic.
Oh agreed, I don't go anywhere without at least a little pack of tissues in the car or in my bag if I'm carrying one. I take it a step further, I'll usually blow my nose away from people. I don't go far out of my way but far enough so that people don't have to hear my nose trumpet.
Oh man, this is gross. Ok so I've seen people put it in their mouths...not the worst honestly...I saw this guy dig out what looked like grey matter and flick it on the inside of his windshield. It was blood covered and had to be around the size of a half dollar. It was stop and go traffic too...I was orbiting that booger for at least an hour for several miles. Once you know something like that exists your eyes inadvertently get drawn back in. I concur with the hand washing and if I can find it, purell or whatever brand of hand sanitizer I can find. I don't think I'm OCD, just.........aware. =)
Couldn't agree with you more. Was just thinking how refreshing it is to start on topic with Jim Watkins and then have good laffs over random human behavior. One of the best convos I've had in a while. Thanks, fren. :)

Most MI are like Jim, especially those on the ops floor. We call them boogereaters.
20904739? ago

Boogers are not dirty. They're healthy.

So you're OODA and OCD. If I had your skilz I don't think I'd ever want to be around people.
20905401? ago
Nah. I love people, most people. I like places like this...there's no real reason not to remove all guards and just talk about whatever.
20911090? ago
I sorta like people, but always from a safe distance.

Me right now.
20905187? ago
KEK...sorry.
20905219? ago
nah, all good. Haven't read something that short...yet...that well described.
I had to ask about the boogereaters, though, didn't I?
20905351? ago
That's why I love this place and 8kun when it returns. Just a bunch of us guys and gals hanging out doing what we do.
