As a child I was told by grown ups, not to pick my nose or my eyes would fall out.
Trish
When I was small my dad cut two of his fingers half way off. If he caught me or any little kid picking their nose he would hold up his fingers and say you better stop or the buggers will eat your fingers off.

When I was a kid I had a uncle with the tip of his finger missing and my dad told me that the booger monster bit it off. And if I picked my nose the booger monster would bite mine off too.
I stopped picking my nose for awile.

i used to believe that if you picked your nose to much a giant snotball would come out of the toilet and strangle you
My father used to tell us, that when we were picking our nose, we were actually picking pits of our brain off, and thats what bogies were - bits of your brain.
Danni
i taught my girfriends daughter that if she didnt stop picking her nose she would cut her brain open!
also i said that if she had snot in her nose, it was nose goblins pouring snot into her nose, blowing her nose would get rid of them, throwing the tissue into the toilet would drown them and flushing would get rid of them forever, she still does it 6 months later, got her to be hygenic though

I believed that if you ate snot, it would poisen you. And you would die.

when I was a small girl, I had the bad habit of picking my nose. I simply detested having bogeys in my nose, so I'd always pick them out. My mother, quite horrified at this once snapped at me: if you keep picking your nose, your nostrils will stretch and become huge. look what you have done to them already! I instantly stopped, terrified. I have big nostrils, was it my own fault?

I believed that one was born with a perfect sphere of booger-material at the top of each nostril. Each nose-picking whittled away at these spheres. I don't remember whether or not I thought these spheres served any purpose, but I recall lying on the floor at nap-time in pre-school with my finger up my nose thinking I'd have to pace myself if I wanted any left when I became an adult.

I used to believe that if you picked your nose, your nostrills would become very large. That was why certain people had gigantic nostrills- they never listened to their parents and stopped picking their noses.
My Mum told me that if you picked your nose you would turn into a matchstick man - I didn't believe her until one night,I did it and I stood in front of the bathroom mirror screaming "I don't want to be a matchstick man"
Annette
My friend insisted that spiders eat bogies. She picked her nose and dropped the bogies onto spiderwebs. Goodness knows if the spiders ate them!
Helen
My Grandpa told me if I picked my nose I could accidentally pull out my eye.
Jan St. Louis

I regularly picked my nose and ate the bogeys. One day, when I was about 6, I was sick and threw up in the toilet, half of the vomit went on the toilet seat. The vomit was a greeny-yellow colour and looked just like bogeys. I honestly believed that years of eating my bogeys had finally made me sick, and that I had just thrown up all the bogeys I had ever eaten. I never ate my bogeys after that.
Sean
My mother told me that if I picked my nose it would turn into a pigs trotter!
Lynne S :o)
i used to believe that bogeys were dead flys that got blown up your nose mixed with old bits of brains
I WAS ONLY 8!
pick your nose and eat it
My Dad told me that bogies were actually your brain. This was meant to stop me picking my nose and eating it. It worked!
Zoe B
when i was 3 i thought u would find a plate of dinner up your nose because my dad used to say to me DO YOU WANT A FORK!!!
I used to beleive that if I picked my nose the boogie monster would visit me in the night + torture me
