If it's a snotty one, I try to go to the bathroom. Sometimes, my sneezes are more explosive than I thought, then I just blow at my desk. I always wash my hands afterwards though </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-go-to-the-bathroom-to-blow-your-nose#post-131130 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 00:44:17 +0000 BSB 131130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, not usually. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-go-to-the-bathroom-to-blow-your-nose#post-129923 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 13:34:30 +0000 Modern Daisy 129923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Crumbs: That's so funny about the cough drops because I actually used to carry them in my bag during college and hand them out to people having coughing fits in class! There was one guy in particular in my psychology class who sat right behind me and was sick for about a month. Every class he would cough so loud and for so long I couldn't hear the instructor. Finally one day I handed him a cough drop and he got the hint! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-go-to-the-bathroom-to-blow-your-nose#post-129867 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 13:12:35 +0000 Mrs Sorbet 129867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would never blow my nose at the table..at home or especially in a restaurant! o.O</p> <p>I don't work in an office but if I did, I might blow my nose in my cubical if no one could see me and I could do it very quietly and discreetly. Otherwise I'd go to the bathroom. I don't really want anyone hearing or seeing me blow my nose. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-go-to-the-bathroom-to-blow-your-nose#post-129866 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 13:12:34 +0000 heffalump 129866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't always go to the bathroom. I don't think I'm a loud nose blower though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-go-to-the-bathroom-to-blow-your-nose#post-129865 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 13:12:21 +0000 PBandBaseball 129865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If my nose is just runny I try to quietly do it at my desk but if I'm sick I go to the bathroom. I wish my coworkers were as considerate!!</p> <p>If I'm at a restaurant, I always go to the restroom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-go-to-the-bathroom-to-blow-your-nose#post-129862 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 13:10:25 +0000 SugarplumsMom 129862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In some cultures, blowing your nose during a meal is the ultimate taboo! </p> <p>Sick people in cramped, public places annoy me in general. Especially people coughing ... I want to have cough drops in my bag just to pass it out to them!</p> <p>As for allergy sufferers, I don't mind at all. It's just the germs I'm worried about. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-go-to-the-bathroom-to-blow-your-nose#post-129855 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 13:08:26 +0000 Andrea 129855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It depends how runny my nose is. If it is just a quick, small blow then I'll do it at my desk and then use hand sanitizer. But if it is a lot, like how you describe, I would definitely go to the bathroom. </p> <p>And no way would I blow my nose at a table in a restaurant...unless I was at McDonalds or something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-go-to-the-bathroom-to-blow-your-nose#post-129853 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 13:07:03 +0000 MrsBrewer 129853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>wow, no way would I go to the bathroom every time I have to blow my nose! I also have allergies so I would need to pretty much bring my entire desk into the bathroom.<br /> At a resturant that's different, yes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-go-to-the-bathroom-to-blow-your-nose#post-129851 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 13:05:54 +0000 chopsuey 129851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's so nasty when people blow their nose while they eat!!!<br /> I always wash my hands after I blow my nose, so when I was working, I went to the bathroom to blow my nez in peace! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-go-to-the-bathroom-to-blow-your-nose#post-129849 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 13:03:07 +0000 LuLu Mom 129849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At a restaurant I always go to the restroom, nothing is grosser than hearing that. I'm guilty of blowing at my desk, I have allergies, so I would be in the bathroom even more than I already am! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-go-to-the-bathroom-to-blow-your-nose#post-129833 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 12:55:48 +0000 DillonLion 129833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I'm sick and managed to drag myself into work because I don't think I am contagious, I usually don't have the energy to run to the bathroom every 30 seconds to go blow my nose. I'd be running back and forth all day! I have my own office, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-go-to-the-bathroom-to-blow-your-nose#post-129825 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 12:52:45 +0000 Modern Daisy 129825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you work in an office, or when you're out to eat - do you intentionally blow your nose in the bathroom?</p> <p>The woman who I share a cubicle wall with does not. And she has been sick twice this year and blows really snotty tissue fulls all day. It's very loud too and we're all packed in very close together. It grosses me out, especially while I'm eating my lunch which happens to be the time of day when her nose-blowing is at it's peak.</p> <p>It also grosses me out when I'm at a restaurant and someone does it at the table. I hate hearing it and I just imagine snot getting all over my food.</p> <p>Am I crazy? Does anyone else feel the same way? Is there any official etiquette about this?</p> <p>I always go to the bathroom to blow my nose unless I'm not able to get to one (out shopping, on a roadtrip, etc.). </p>
