Lets be honest here.

When I was a kid, I used to all the time. Then I went through a phase of thinking it was totally gross, but a few years ago, I've started again.

I don't do it in plain sight of other people, that actually makes me shudder when I see other people doing that shit. I do have a really good pick when on the shitter, or driving home/to work. The thing is, you won't catch me getting my hands dirty by picking up, you know, stuff around the house, cleaning the cats tray is fuck awful, and I bought a dishwasher simply because I can't stand having my hands in dirty water that is full of food that I just ate. I'm having a kid in about 2 weeks time and the thought of cleaning shit is awful.

So what the fuck is up with me eating boogies? GAF, I'm not alone am I?

Fucking disgusting. If I hadn't already witnessed my older brother doing it, I wouldn't believe you.

What possesses you to eat them? I don't get it.

Man, this is all you. That is straight up foul. There is no way in hell I'm going to be eating some
delicious golden
nuggets out of my nose.

Why would you do that?

I wouldn't eat 'em, besides the whole "nasty" factor, they're made up of the smoke/dirt you breathe in. When you breathe in a lot of stuff, they're blacker. I don't want to eat dirt.

I had a crazy girl stick her finger up my nose then lick it. That was weird.

Where do people learn this behavior? It seems weird when you think of it--nobody randomly eats their poo, drinks their pee, eats dead skin from their belly button, ear wax, or stuff that crusts up in your eyes, but many people or children eat boogers.

Proximity for one. And child has runny nose, licks mouth/upper lip. Taste "boogie juice" and then since the milk was good, its time to go after the source.

Pick and flick. I laugh when people hock a big loogie then swallow it though.

I once had a blocked nose and sucked air up my nose real hard and got a perfectly circular booger come out......... was cool.

On a similar note, I have a horrible habit of picking my nails and even the skin above my nails (if you can understand what I mean by "above"). And I just discovered it's called Onychophagia. So apparently I'm onychophagic! I had no idea. I've always had this problem. I've, at best, gone a couple weeks where I've left my fingers alone, normally spurred on by some reward (either from myself or a gf), but ultimately always fall into the same habit. The problem is that it's very much an unconscious action and I can do it while doing pretty much anything in pretty much any environment. I also stealth-pick so people don't notice. It's ridiculous.

Also,

"Gone too far, the habit becomes a manifestation of self-mutilating tendencies that are probably accompanied by feelings of low self-esteem and diminished confidence.

As with other behaviors falling under the OCD category, excessive picking and biting of nails and cuticles alike can indicate deep inner emotional conflict. The inner turmoil may be a result of a more sinister condition that demands medical attention."

Haha wow. Pretty sure that's not the case with me. I don't do it while nervous or in any particular mood. I think some twisted corner of my brain finds it satisfying.

But I don't eat the spoils.

It's not like I'm really proud if it though. But I now have a cold and when I woke this morning, my nose was completely full.

Mark, let's make a deal.

You don't eat your boogers. And I won't pick my nails. If one of us fails, the other is free to do what they wish. The motivation that you would be prevented from eating your "boogies" is enough to make me not pick my nails.

What do you think?

I've never come so close to barfing from reading a post on GAF.

Jesus christ man. Go see a therapist or something, people who eat boogies should not raise kids.

I have a cold at the moment, and it would be tough, honestly. I can certainly try though.

You can pick your nose. That's not part of the deal. You just can't eat what you pick. I believe in you.

If either of us succumbs, we report back here, and the deal is done. If you don't actually care to stop, though, this is obviously worthless... unless you're concerned about my nails.

Top doc backs picking your nose and eating it
Picking your nose and eating it is one of the best ways to stay healthy, according to a top Austrian doctor.

Innsbruck-based lung specialist Prof Dr Friedrich Bischinger said people who pick their noses with their fingers were healthy, happier and probably better in tune with their bodies.

He says society should adopt a new approach to nose-picking and encourage children to take it up.

Dr Bischinger said: "With the finger you can get to places you just can't reach with a handkerchief, keeping your nose far cleaner.

"And eating the dry remains of what you pull out is a great way of strengthening the body's immune system.

"Medically it makes great sense and is a perfectly natural thing to do. In terms of the immune system the nose is a filter in which a great deal of bacteria are collected, and when this mixture arrives in the intestines it works just like a medicine.

"Modern medicine is constantly trying to do the same thing through far more complicated methods, people who pick their nose and eat it get a natural boost to their immune system for free."

He pointed out that children happily pick their noses, yet by the time they have become adults they have stopped under pressure from a society that has branded it disgusting and anti social.

He said: "I would recommend a new approach where children are encouraged to pick their nose. It is a completely natural response and medically a good idea as well."

And he pointed out that if anyone was really worried about what their neighbour was thinking, they could still enjoy picking their nose in private if they still wanted to get the benefits it offered.

I wish I could say the same, but loads of other things do. Like if a mate took a bite out of a sandwich and asked if I wanted it, even if it looked like the best one in the world, I couldn't do it.

Yet I find this acceptable. And I know I'm not the only person either.

I do. They're very sweet, strangely enough.

Blood ones actually taste good too. Anyone who's licked a cut finger will know that blood has quite a nice flavour.

I'm 24 and have done it forever. As someone mentioned earlier it's good for your immune system and for as long as I can remember I've never been sick (unless it was alcohol induced), caught anything worse than a cold or been to the doctors for anything more than a fracture toe.

Eat your bogies.
