I usually just walk up to them and tell them.. the same way as if they had a booger hanging out of their nose... I would want someone to tell me!!!

Be sure you are taking in as much air as you are expelling. Breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth. Try not to suck air in through your mouth. Tell yourself "Inhale, Exhale".

As in humans, sneezing is normal. It's a reflex for expelling something in the nose that doesn't belong there.

I do  this Hold your breath and drink water. It kinda hurts going down but it gets rid of them. I also like holding my breath for ten seconds then releasing the breath slowly after that breath in through nose and out the mouth slowly.

It's considered rude to do so in public.  A lack of self-control.  Also, it usually doesn't smell very pleasant. \n\nI have a saying too "I really don't like to smell what you had for dinner last night especially after it spent all that time rotting in your colon."  \n\nIf it's a mistake it's a mistake, you say excuse me or whatever and people laugh at you.  \n\nIf you do it on purpose, I think people have a right to get mad because it's rude and it shows that you don't care about how others feel.

The nose is in the middle of the face. The full expression is "You hit it right on the nose." You really can't get a more direct hit then popping someone in the nose. It's just right.

Don't pick boogers ever...its dangerous and can cuase serious brain damage to the unexperienced picker...\n\nYou should always shoot them out a.k.a Snot rockets...\n\nYou do this by holding one nostril shut\n\ntaking in a deep breathe, and then holding your mouth shut\n\nBLOW extremely hard outta the remaining open nostril ,and like a speeding bullet your booger missile can fire up to 60miles per hour, and attach itself to things like girls hair, and other cool stuff\n\nYou can actually rob a bank like that and I think its onle a misdemeanor

Here is the thing, how well do you know the person(s) asking the question(s)? Whatever you feel comfortable sharing with others, do that. If a person is imposing themselves, just say that someone contributed it to you and didn't charge you. This way you are tactfully brushing off their nose problems. Congratulations and have a happy and most splendid day. God bless.

What you are trying to achieve is called the 'Valsalva Manoeuvre' where your nostrils are closed and pressure is blown against them. You should be able to do this even with an open mouth as you are not expelling air through your mouth. Practise breathing through your nose with your mouth open WITHOUT letting air pass through you mouth. When you can do this it will be a simple matter to pinch your nose and equalise normally. \nAnother way to equalise is to swallow, though this technique sometimes fails me personally it often works for others. You can even try a combination of both the above - good luck.

as long as you don't make any noise. We all do that once in a while but knowing we all do that and actually being there and acknowledge someone did that in public are 2 completey difference experiences. I'm someone standing next to you farts, AND makes noise, how would you react? I know whoever did that didn't mean it and that person must be very embarrassing but I also think it's only natural that people would look at the one who did it with "unfriendly" eyes

No its not bad for you.  It helps to clear out the stuff in your nose so that you can breath better.  Nose-picking may carry a number of medical risks, including causing nasal infections and nosebleeds. Most authorities recommend using a tissue.\n\nHowever, at least one well-known doctor sees nose-picking and mucophagy as beneficial [2]. He states that not only is the finger capable of reaching parts of the nose that a handkerchief or tissue is unable to, thus keeping the nose cleaner, but that eating the bacteria-rich dried mucus offers a boost to the immune system, and is analogous to immunization.\n\nA little humor now...\nPopular sayings and jokes reveal social attitudes about nose-picking, similar to toilet humor.\n\n"You can pick your friends, but you can't pick your nose." \n"You can pick your friends and you can pick your nose, but you can't pick your friend's nose." \n"You can pick your friends, and you can pick your nose, but you can't wipe your friends under the sofa." \n"What is the difference between boogers and broccoli? Kids won't eat broccoli. \n"How did you know I went to Harvard?" "I noticed your class ring when you picked your nose." \n"I know he picks his nose. I felt under his furniture." Van Lane Ferguson, We Bark at Midnight (1962) \n"If I had a million boogers, I'd still pick you." \n"Pickem Lickem Rollem Flickem." \n"I guarantee you that Moses was a picker. You wander through the desert for forty years with that dry air. You telling me you're not going to have occasion to clean house a little bit." Seinfeld, The Pick (1992) \n"Why is your nose like an instrument? You can pick it or you can blow it!" \n"How come I can pick my friends but not my nose? Who made up that rule anyway? How can you say 'that's the way it is, that's just the way it goes'?\n\nCheck out the web sites!  Wiki, wiki, wiki.  Happy nose picking!

i read in 17 mag. that to stop irritation of the nose when you blow, add a little bit of lotion to the tissue. and to hide redness use liquid foundation then powder cover-up works like a charm for me
