In the short time I’ve been commuting to the City for work, I’ve started to notice an affliction that has taken hold of many and worse yet, it seems to be growing. The dastardly affliction I speak of is nose picking. *groan* I know, I know. It’s just awful.
There are many types of nose pickers, each and every one of them unique. It ranges from the casual pedestrian who casually taps at his/her nose. A little tap here, a little brush of the hand there. Then tap tap again and whoops, the tips of the fingers are now inside the nostrils. Others just jam their fingers inside, making one wonder if their fingers still exist at all. And yes, I’ve seen many a driver pass by with digits disappearing, probably right into his/her brain.
I have to wonder, first, why are people so gross? And secondly, do they really think we can’t see them?
I’m beginning to think that those that are afflicted have a mucous alien form living inside his/her head. The alien gets hungry and well, naturally it eats through your nose. So these people are not really picking their noses, they are merely feeding the hungry beasts inside. Hmm. Yes, yes, I do believe that’s what it is. Sounds like a logical conclusion to me.
