Yup, but they think blowing your nose is gross for some reason.

So if it was a sport.... how would it be judged? speed it takes you to finish? amount and size you pull out? or just points for technique?

(Sorry the question just put weird images in my head, and they may never leave if I don't pass the suffering on to someone else) But the teams could have some really creative names (if it wasn't China)

From what i saw this morning ...must be amount pulled out.

Only if your the one doing it...a spectator sport is something that people want to watch...I never seen anybody that wanted to watch another person pick their nose. If you consider picking your nose is a sport I wish you the best on fulfilling your dreams to join the olympics one day...I prefer boxing! wink

fish79:

I'm glad to see you're not letting your education get in the way of your ignorance.

I much prefer picking my nose than blowing. It is cleaner (for my nose, not fingers) that way.

DaBen:

Since it's "cleaner" then every time you scrub your hands before digging for gold for you'll have less dirt under your fingernail than what would be on a new piece of tissue paper?

This seems like the appropriate forum to share my story..
You know how some people stand directly in front of the elevator door?
I'm riding up to my floor when the door opens. Then I'm face to face with a guy who'se got his finger up his nose like he's conducting an archaeological dig.
Of course he used the very same finger to push his floor number, leaving a visible fingerprint behind.

Picking your nose is an international sport. Have you ever pulled up to a red light at home, glanced at the car beside you and saw the driver digging deep while waiting for the light?  It's a great way to kill time!!
The only difference in China is they don't try to hide it.

I dont think its a sport... it looks like when the people do it they inspect what is found inside.... is it eatabille or should they discard it? just look at theire face expressions when they do the inspection...

DaBen:

Is it bad, that there's a sick, evil part of me that chants "eat it, eat it" when they do? I don't want to see them eat it, but I want to be able to laugh at them because I saw them eat it.
