No, annoying yes but it'd be annoying a hell to have to use the loo every time one needed to blow one's nose.
 
Dad and my two brothers both do it, mom doesn't. I don't. I think it's genetic, because I can't make that trumpeting noise, and dad and my brothers can't not make it. I don't know about one brother and dad, but my other brother is most certainly not doing it intentionally.

Three people in one office is a little much of a coincidence, though.
 
I would consider it rude, or at the very least inconsiderate. ...And let me guess, they don't wash their hands afterwards, do they?

When possible, I always avoid blowing my nose in public because if I find it disgusting others probably do too. Besides, I'm not usually fond of drawing attention to myself.

Just take all of the kleenex boxes and put them in the bathroom, that ought to give them the idea. ...However, your coworkers might just use their shirt instead. :D
 
Well at least you don't work with aholes who pop a silent one in a small work space and laughs when everyone gets their nose burnt off from the stench.

I'm really happy that 60 percent of my job is out in the open.


Bless

I wouldn't be taken that crap, the one thing i won't tolerate is someone burping or farting near me at work or anywhere. Specially those that have just have coffee and burp.

Yes i work with a moron, that likes to blow his nose (which sounds like a trumpet) when people are on the phone or during the middle of converstations with other staff or customers.
 
My dad does this, but mostly in private. It is rude if it noticeably bothers others. I would consider it embarrassing so wouldn't do it in public anyways. :eek:
 
I am one of those people that blow my nose loudly (and it isn't intentional), to avoid disruptions or grossing people out I go to the restroom to blow my nose. So yes, I think that someone blowing loudly in the office is rude.
 
Men's bathrooms must be the most vile places on earth, I'm thinking.

They're not half as bad as women's bathrooms. I don't know personally, but I have it on good authority from several women I trust, and judging from the descriptions (ewwww), I totally believe them. I know, it shocked me too. Although, the two messiest people I know are both of the non-male variety, so I guess I shouldn't have been that surprised. The stereotypes are horribly wrong! :eek:

Yeah, I suppose they can be pretty gross too. There are just some really disgusting people out there.

Generally speaking though I think men can be a bit more on the messy side. Just sharing a bathroom in your home with a man means there is a whole different level of filth to deal with.

Besides, everyone knows boys have cooties.

Well yeah, sometimes we ALL need to do that, but going to the restroom to do it is the way to go in my opinion.

I guess I am just stunned by what people in my office think is considerate and what is not.

And don't even get me started on what these people do in the bathroom.

Two words: courtesy flush.

Well, that's true...we are an essential part of the cootie lifecycle. Without us, there would be no cooties, and then the world would suffer ecological catastrophe. And you don't want that, now, do you?

It all boils down to the fact that most people who do this just don't care.
