I do make a habit of carrying tissues everywhere, but I can imagine there would be cases where that’s not practical…

    I’ve found (here in the US), that almost every bathroom has these little paper tickets in the bathroom stalls. If you chain enough together you can get a pretty decent tissue from it. I think they call it Tissue Paper or TP for short.

    Aside from that, as a responsible adult, I keep a collection of various drive-thru napkins in the center console and a roll of “Shop Towels” in the back.

    Snot rocketing is badass, and one of those cool physical skills like whistling and snapping her fingers that every little kid looks forward to learning.

    I’ve never heard “snot rocket” before. In the UK it’s called “footballer’s handkerchief” for obvious reasons.

        Uh, I may have been over confident there. Apologies. I asked in a football/work groupchat last night. About a quarter of people knew what it meant (17/83). They’re all spread out across the UK. No real pattern.

    I mean yes, it is gross. But whenever I am on my run, I won’t be looking for a napkin in my pockets and then trying to properly place it on my nose, while running. But I am always running in forests where there is literally no one.

    Every time I sneeze I redirect all the air into a cough. If I actually need my sinuses cleared (e.g., at the end of a cold germ) I just blow my nose. Am I in the minority?

    As a guy with a mustache blowing my nose turns into a 5 minute ordeal of wiping snot out of my mustache.

    I’d rather fire a snot rocket and have minimal cleanup.
