how people publicly pick their noses. I do understand that
there are times when a handkerchief is not at hand, or the act
of blowing into one, does not necessarily clear out the debris
that gets stuck in the little crevices. However, to gouge so
blatantly in public is unnecessary, to my mind, as surely one
can find a little corner somewhere to discreetly search with
a finger, if one has to.
I really do not need to watch as people elevate their digit ready
for attack, and then drive it home, the end wiggling around the
passages. Combined with the excavation, is the contorted face,
the eyes circling as if they can see inside to act as a guide,
the head leaning this way and that, the eyebrows roaming around
the forehead and the mouth forming different shapes, all in an
effort to dislodge and retrievethe offending matter that refuses
to leave.
I observe all this at LAX airport,as I waitto board my flight home to Boston. I know I could look away and leave him to it but, one has to admit, disgust or not, it can, at times, be compelling to watch, as you think to yourself,"Does he think he is invisible"!?
Oh well, it passed the time.
With Love
