Don't blow your nose at the table.
This is universal, right? Apparently not!
And I'm not talking about people who sneeze who can't help it. What else are you going to do? Allergies are a thing, even a random tickle can happen.
No no no. I'm talking about the premeditated nose blowers, the grown ass people who have made a decision in the middle of a restaurant full of people eating, to get their little snot rag out of their pocket and empty the yellowish slime from their nose into it as audibly as possible. Maybe they're done with there meal so it's a fun treat like smoking a cigarette. Maybe they're right in the middle of their entree and just want to solid nasal mucus purge.
Family dinners are no exception. Great Aunt Helen knows the bathroom is down the hall, she can get up, take care of business, and come back. I don't need her boogers and overused Kleenex that close to the green bean casserole.
Ew.
