Which is more disgusting?
#1. Somebody with a runny nose who snorks mucus back into their throat and swallows.
#2. Somebody who blows their knows into tissues, then leaves them all over the house for the dog to find.
Rules:
Answers of "they're BOTH disgusting!" will not be accepted. Bonus points if you identify yourself with one of the two categories.

I'd have to think number one was more disgusting. The human should know better.
Dogs eat SHIT, for cripe's sake. Mucus is like a luxury item to them.

I concur with Gowan, which is a rare occurrence indeed.
If the dog wants to play with the old snot rags, that's dandy. I just don't want to have to listen to someone snorking snot. I hate icky auditory things. Slurping, belching, smacking noises... hate 'em all. You'd think that my hearing would be the first to go, as bad as I hate noises... but no, I'm just blind as a damned bat. Hmph.
Therefore, I'll identify myself with group #2. I like to leave 'em on the night stand, under the couch, and by the lamp in the living room. This horrifies visitors.

I am constantly amazed by the bear-like qualities of the human male. Not so much the snorking and swallowing, but the fact that it doesn't seem to bother them to snork and then hawk and spit the offending mass onto the sidewalk or lawn, IN FRONT OF OTHER PEOPLE!
I have never seen a woman do this. This, I think, is largely why I consider myself to be heterosexual.

Gay men don't do it either, Fang.
I have this to offer the thread: I don't have a dog, so it's not an issue.

It's a THEORETICAL dog. Play along. Assume a stray dog will wander by and consume the tissues if left laying around. Assume the presence of the snotty tissues will cause a dog to pop into existence.
Which is it? #1 or #2? Choose fast! Regis is getting pissed.

I think it's more disgusting to snork and swallow.
Ideally, of course, the used tissue should be disposed of properly; however, since the scenario here is that it becomes dog food, I will have to refrain from pointing out that dogs can catch our colds.
I am a #2 person; but I do dispose of the use tissue properly.
Why the question, Ralf?

Having to spend several hours on the phone every day listening to people talk into my ear, I've found that *many* things irritate the living shit out of me that didn't used to. Mouth breathers are one, gum smackers are another, as are people who read what they type *while* they are typing it. I'll have to go with #1 being more disgusting...and I identify with #2, but then again, my cats dig them OUT of the trash to play with them, so that doesn't even phase me. I also reiterate the feelings of Fang in that some men will spit ALL THE BLOODY TIME...constantly. I don't get it; is the mucus or saliva some kind of neurotoxin they have to expel for fear of ingesting too much and causing a chemical imbalance that will force them to ask for directions when they're lost?

Spitting USED to be cool 90 years ago when chewing tobacco was a sign of masculinity and baseball prowess. Now it's just messy and disgusting.

I'm way late in this thread but found it interesting. Personally, I *snort*. And if that's disgusting to you, wear ear plugs! ;-)

i think that the leaving the snot rags around the house for the dog, or someone else to pick up is the worst. maybe it is because of the people that i have lived with. at least when you snort and swallow there is no mess left around.

Bringing new life to the snot thread... yay!
I hate sounds. Throw tissue around all day, but do NOT snork!

At work, just to my southwest, sits a guy who puts unnecessary conversations on his speakerphone, and horks up lougies. To my southeast sits a guy who snorks and snorks.
Hork = exhale
Snork = inhale
To hork, or to snork? That is the question.

Naaaaasty! But good to know!
I'd say I'm DEFINITELY more of a *snorker* than a *horker*. I'm glad there is a difference.

when i was a kid, i my nose used to run ALL the time. during standardized testing i'd forget to put enough tissue in my pocket and since they didn't let you get up at all, i would use up every inch of what tissue i had, let it dry a bit, and then use it up some more. eventually it became drippy and fell apart, and then i would have to "rub" the mucus into the underside of the desk.
i'm not proud, you know. i'm a changed man.

Mucus is tolerable. I had a problem with blood.
For no good reason, I would frequently break out in a nosebleed. I saw the doctor about it once, and there was nothing wrong. No abnormalities, no infections, nothing to explain why every few days in class, I'd see a crimson "drip" fall on my notebook paper and I'd have to rush to the bathroom. It was pretty embarassing.
And in swimming pools, it was the worst!
My friends once gave me some of those little "OB" tampons to stick in my nose. I didn't find it as funny as they did. My nostrils weren't big enough to fit the whole torpedo in.
