Edit: I had someone comment one time when I did, and it was kind of weird and embarrassing? But it seemed like a fairly normal thing to do, so I thought I'd ask.

Yes, cause I work in a dusty environment. If you see dust or particulates in your snot, thats in your lungs too and you should start wearing a respirator.

I do. One day I expect to see a Turner Seascape.

Every single time. I just like it.

I almost never blow my nose anymore since I read that doing so tends to blow snot into your sinus cavities, which increases the risk of infection. It's better to just sniff in most cases.

To blow my nose so it doesn't cause an infection
