I used to believe that if I picked my nose, it would stretch and become big enough to serve as a tunnel for a train! Although this was scary, it just got more tempting to pick my nose.

When I was little, I would always wake up with snot in my nose. I thought that in the night a guy would come in my house and stick boogers up my nose.

When I was a child my father warned me that if i picked my nose, my eye would fall out!

When I was real little and used to pick my nose I would cover what I was doing with my other hand, I convinced myself no one could see, until one day my dad asked me why I was digging for gold, I realized they could tell what I was doing.

When I was younger, I used to think that picking your nose was against the law.

I used to believe that sticking my finger up my nose made me invisible and I was so angry at this girl who sat behind me because she had super-powers that allowed her to see me.

not-so-invisible, not-so-smart

When I was young a cyst grew on my face. I was told that it was probably because I picked my nose and rubbed it on my face. I had the cyst removed in the 5th grade, but I'm still in therapy now.

My mother once told me that i shouldn't sniff to clear my nose, because the boogers would go into my brain. After that, i was scared to do it, even though i didn't believe her.

My Uncle was missing half of his pinky finger. Whenever one of us kids would ask him what had happened he always responded by saying "I picked my nose and a booger bit it off. I believed him until I was about 8 years old.

My aunt told us that if we picked our nose, we would pull out the spring that held our eyeballs in. I believed it for the longest time.

Paula

I used to pick my nose a lot when i was young. I would stick it on the walls and blame my older sister. I thought boogers were poop that got lost and were swere sick becuz they were green.

When I was little I would only pick my nose (which I knew I shouldn’t be doing) when I was around my brother. It didn’t matter when it was around him because for some reason I thought that he couldn’t see me doing it--like I had some kind of nose-picking-blinding-force-field around me that only affected him.

Silly Girl

well i was told thats if you picked your nose our brain would fall out not only that but it becomes a brain cactus... really theres a plant that looks like a brain and my dad told me that what happens to peoples brains that fell out

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.
