Don't you hate when...

You're hanging out somewhere, like say class, and your nose is dripping, and you don't have a tissue, you can't get up and leave, sniffing doesn't work, and you don't want to use your sleeve?

WTF TO DO!

wipe it on your finger and then put it on the underside of the desk bubblegum style.

Post about it in an internet forum!

Scratch your nose with the middle portion of your finger while in the hook position, then finish with a quick rub under the nostrils.

It is less of an it, and more of a faucet. I could close one nostril and projectile shoot it into the head of the guy in front of me, but I'm not mean. I could do it tho!

Omfg, that would be the funniest thing ever. You should do it for comedy value.

Notebook paper is suprisingly absorbant, just dont use it to wipe with!

Pretend to sneeze in front of someone you don't like. At the same time, blow as hard as you can through your noise in the direction of that person.

This happened to me in my Organic Chem class many years ago. I was taking the final exam...my nose was running like a faucet. I had no tissue...and I was sniffing every few seconds to stay the deluge that was about to occur.

My answer....Notebook paper! We were given a sheet of notebook paper that we could use to write our calucations on. Instead of using it for my exam, I slowly and quietly wadded it up in my left hand until it was in a ball. I then kept on squeezing it and rotating it in my hand. Since my palms were somewhat sweaty (I was sick...I had a hard final...and the stress of not having a place for my sinus drippings to go)...after a few minutes of crumpling that piece of paper was almost as soft as a paper towel.

Masteen has never spoken truer words!

What the fuck kind of class are you in that you can't get up and leave?

Here's your solution: Get up. Leave. Go to the bathroom. Get paper towels. Return to class.

If your professor/teacher/instructor bothers you about it, tell him/her that you are an adult and if you need paper towels for your snot then by god you're going to get them.

Unless you're in high school in which case you're a minor without real rights. But I don't think you're in high school.

Edit: Moonwynd makes a good point with the final exam thing. You might not be able to leave then. In which case you should have planned ahead and it's your own damn fault!

Ok, I could have been more clear. I *can* get up and leave if I wish, but it's law school, and I prefer not to draw a professor's attention unless it is unavoidable.

This particular professor has been known to watch someone get up, leave, have a coughing fit in the hall, come back, and call on her immediately upon her return. I'll suffer with the drips over that one.

I'd forgotten to replace my emergency pocket tissue. And I use a laptop to take notes, so I don't carry a notebook with paper, though tearing a page from my textbook is tempting.

If it happens again, the sneeze-n-blow is gonna have to be my method of choice!

I just used to tear out a piece of notebook paper and blow my nose into it.

I'm serious.

tip your head back like youre stretching and sniff

to get any runoff: wipe it on your finger, then onto the palm of your other hand and repeat until satisfied. then go shake hands with someone you hate

Briefly wipe nose with hand, cross your legs and wipe hand on sock.

Works great for sneezing too!

I don't know about you, but I am not limber enough or fast enough to put my foot around my nose when I have to sneeze!

Lift the part of your shirt by your neck and pretend to itch the side of your nose with the inside of it thus wiping your snot to the inside of your shirt.Just don't forget to change it when you get home.Of course you only use that method in severe emergencies.

Bubba Grizz · Post by **Bubba Grizz** » March 3, 2005, 3:16 pm

Just excuse yourself and go blow your nose. It is an understandable thing to have happen. Rather that little interuption than a big scene when you have green slime pouring down your face.

Sirensa · Post by **Sirensa** » March 3, 2005, 3:59 pm

I brought Kleenex today!

GO ME.

I bet this infiltration of snot is all sylvos' fault.

I just realised that Norman has a giant "M" right on his forhead.

What the hell

What's an M for? MOUSE-SLAYER?? But Norman has only slayed birds, dragonflys and bugs...

That looks like an evil red monobrow.

On a somewhat similar, but not really, note... when I used to come home for the weekends in college, I would kiss my dog, Alpine, on the head with dark red lipstick on her pretty white fur. Drove my Mom bonkers, but she looked cute with a kiss mark on her head.

For the record, I don't do that to her anymore
