Poking around inside our nostrils is disgusting, unhygienic and potentially harmful, so it’s baffling that it’s as common as it is, says Jason G Goldman.
TIL the average man picks his nose around four times a day

If I've got a sharp booger or a general blockage, imma deal with it. Sanitation is important, but I'm not gonna be uncomfortable for the sake of others feelings. I'm not looking for a snack, just a little relief. It's one of if life's small victories.

Is that it? I definitely do it in the bathroom when nobody else is around multiple times a day.

Only 4 times a day? I'm finally an overachiever at something!

It's not the picking, it's what you do with them

I am in Vietnam at the moment and here public nose picking is common. Was one of my culture shocks as a Canadian.
