bad habits: picking my nose

I used to believe…

My younger brother use to pick his nose so much that my cousin's boyfriend told him that a worm lives inside your nose and it's gonna bite your finger off if you pick your nose too far inside. I believed that for almost 5 years until he told me that it was just a lie so my little brother could stop picking his nose.

I used to believe…

When I was a child, my father used to say, "Don't pick your nose, or your bum will fall off". This was a good deterrent for about a week... Then I picked my nose (by accident), nothing happened & I figured out that my father was either clueless, or just a liar!

I still pick my nose!!!

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

When I was little I used to pick my nose and one day I heard on the radio that Wayne Gretzy retired and I asked my dad what retired meant and he said to quit a job for a little bit but come back to it if you want to, so when I was about in kidnergarden, I stopped picking my nose, but after a bit I started again and in the car on day my older sister said, "I thought you stopped picking your nose," and I said , "I retired."

I used to think if you picked your nose too much you'd one day dig your way into your brain! did that put me off!!!

I used to believe…

My little brother had a bad habit of picking his nose, and when we would tell him to stop, he would simply cover his finger and nose with his other hand, thinking that we couldn't see what he was doing.

when i was little i was told that if i picked my nose i would pick to my brain i stlill did it anyway though

I used to believe…

when i was little, my neighbor told me that if you pick your nose and eat it (eww!) your boogers will turn into worms in your stomach and crawl back out your mouth! i believed her for a really long time, too!

I used to believe…

this is really gross, but when i was very young, for whatever reason, i believed that my boogers had tiny little souls and when i picked my nose, i would ball them up and group them together in a bizarre 'hiding place'--on the seat of a defunct exercise bike in our front yard and sometimes i'd talk to them...the idea that those things came out of my nose held an incomprehensible fascination for me.

I used to believe that if you ate the boogers of someone else, you would turn into them.

i used to believe that if u picked your nose u would pull your brain out. LOL

I used to believe that if you didnt get the boogers out they would fall back into the throat and u would choke

I used to believe…

My mother thought "boogers" was a vulgar word, so she always called them "treasures" (as in "digging for treasures"). For years I believed this was the actual scientific name for them - and hence also thought that Captain Kangaroo lived in the Booger House!

I used to believe…

my friends dad told me if i pick my nose i will poke out my eyeball. My parents also had a friend who didn't have any fingernails and he would say, see what happens when you bite your nails. I believed them both.

I used to believe…

My mother told me that if I picked my nose it would turn into a pigs trotter!

i used to think that boogers was just dried up dust that u breathed in through yur nose so for a long time i breathed out of my mouth!
