I could come up with nothing more creative than this. Well, I also had Sniff Patrol in mind. Or Shut the Bleep Up Control Group. (doesn't make me the sweetest person in the world anymore, does it Heather? Hee hee.)
This has nothing to do with Wee One or T.O. or 11 year old. It's got to do with GROWN people who cannot seem to just wipe or blow their noses.
Sniffing? Really?
Question: What IS the point of it? All it does is direct the crap your body made (and all the other gunk) to fight off your infection BACK into your body. Why? Why do you want to constantly, every FIVE SECONDS, whiff this stuff back up into your nose? Is the mucus a guest of yours that you desperately want to keep around?
Suggestions:
1. Wipe it. It's simple, really. A four year old could probably do it. And I'm actually not stressing probably. They can.
2. Blow it. Gets more out than wiping, and can actually make you feel a bit more clear-headed once you give it a good PUSH.
3. Plug it. Just stick a couple of swabs of tissue in each side of your nose and let it soak it up. Kinda like tampons, you know?
4. Go home. Seriously. Stop driving me insane (and everyone else around us I'm sure...I can't be the only neurotic anti-sniffing person can I?) and go home and feel sorry for yourself there. Loud sniffing does NOT evoke sympathy from me. It makes me want to strangle you or shoot myself.
Tissue, anyone???

I agree! My daughter kept sniffling last night after a crying fit. I told her to go BLOW!
LOL! I'm so with you on this one. I hate when people sniff and sniff and sniff. It's bad enough when kids do it, but adults.....c'mon!
Oh MY GAAWRSH
AMEN!!! AMEN!! I am SOOOOO your anti-snot-sniffing-soul-sistah.
I have found it irritating and disgusting since early childhood and I too cannot fathom WHY anyone would do it, it goes against nature.. doesn't it bother them?? Apparently not, because they just keep doing it, oblivious to those of us around them plotting homocide.
I also have a deep aversion to unwiped snotty noses. I do not get it when people let their kids run around looking like glazed donuts. It is soooooo gross. Gross enough that I will locate a tissue and wipe them myself, which is almost as gross. *gag*
Seriously, people need to be more responsible about snot, they really do.
OMG, your timing with this is perfect! I have a co-worker that has been sniffing for over a month! And she wonders why she can't get rid of her cough? She even started taking Mucinex, but she's still sniffing and still coughing! DUH! It drives me insane! I want to go put some tissues on her desk when she's not looking, maybe she'd get the hint.
Phoebe refuses to blow her nose. she will spend hours inhaling all the snot back in. I've had to beg her to please blow her nose.
Were you sitting behind me at work yesterday? Just kidding, I am capable of blowing. But I can't stand when it makesmy ears pop!
I totally agree. I think it's because I grew up with a sister that is a sniffler and now her son has that 'glazed nose' look. Yuck.
Trust me when I say, its no fun for the sniffler.
Signed,
The kid who had allergies
I have a nephew that it's a sniffler. Ugh...
Do you need a kleenex?
NO.
Oh really. UH HUH, then STOP. HERE is your tissue, blow in it!
So true! I wrote a post just last week on a something similar. Why do some people blow their nose (especially in public) and then look into the tissue to see what came out. Seriously, are they looking for something other than snot?
