Thoughts | 10 Feb 2016
A couple of months back while in traffic, I’d taken a look in my rear view mirror.
I saw this kid stick his finger in his nose,digging real deep and picking it.
I cringed a little, “eeeeew disgusting”.
As I was about to look away, the unthinkable flashed before my eyes.
He stuck his finger in his mouth and licked it, chewing whatever he dug from his nose.
I’d visibly gagged in disgust.
Not once, not twice but so many times, this boy dug and ate whatever he got out of his nostrils.
This morning, also while in traffic, I took a look in my rear view mirror.
I saw this woman tapping a sheet of Kleenex on her tongue and then taking it out, wiped her dashboard with it.
I cringed a little, “eeeeew disgusting”.
As I was about to look away, yet again, the unimaginable flashed before my eyes.
She put the same side of the kleenex she used to wipe her dash on her tongue, and tap, tap, tapped away. She took it out and then wiped her dashboard again.
I’d visibly gagged in disgust.
Not once, not twice but so many times, this woman tapped the kleenex on her tongue and then wiped her dash.
Then I remembered the boy from way back, who dug and ate the booger from his nose.
