Writes Brad in North Carolina: “This was in the bathroom at work, and I must have read it three or four times before admitting I didn’t have a clue what was happening. The confusion could have been due to the grammar, the punctuation, or the notion that people blow their nose on the countertop (?!?).
Perhaps there’s a snot-rocketer on the loose?
Adds Brad: “In the day and a half since the note has been up, nobody has touched that roll of toilet paper.”

I like how the last arrow plus exclamation marks make a cute bunny!

There once was a young man named Lucas
Whose counter was covered in mucus
His colleague had issues
With his non-use of tissues
Or the paper that’s meant for a tuchas

There once was a man from Kentucky
Whose sneezes made everything yucky.
Then there was a day when that man could say
That he certainly was not lucky
When I dragged him away in the back of my truckie.

Nahhh
I’ve seen people — OK, men — blow their noses like that in public, most often in the Walmart parking lot.
None of them have ever been running at the time.

EWWWWW!!! Just really gross and ewwwwwww!
Seriously? Who the hell blows their nose ON the counter? I thought my ex-husband was disgusting blowing his nose in the shower (said he learned it in the service).

There are cities in the world where this is how everyone blows their nose, all the time. Even in public, and on the street, wearing business attire.

I’ve tried this maneuver while running, but never fully got the hang of it…

I don’t get it. Did they stand over the counter, close off one nostril, and blow into space? Why not just do it in the sink, where the evidence could easily be washed away? Common sense, people!
If it were me, I’d find out who the culprit was, blow my nose in the provided rolls of toilet paper, and use it to TP their house.

I hate it when people blow their nose that way when I’m cycling behind them. Thank god for glasses.

We’re to blow our nose into toilet paper? How crass. What happened to kleenex? What about a freshly laundered handkerchief? Is there no class in our world? Hand me that pen, paper and scotch tape.

That is so disgusting I want to hurl.
Long ago I kept hearing about snot rockets, but had never actually seen it done until years later.
The first time I saw it, a man ON THE BUS did it onto the floor.
I was so grossed out I actually considered getting off the bus to wait for the next one.
Dane, sometimes when you don’t have Kleenex handy, a roll of toilet paper is your only hope. I’ve gone to bed with a roll of TP before while having a cold/sinus/allergy issue.
At least I wasn’t blowing my nose on the sheets!

My husband blows his nose like that in the bathroom sink all the time. But he’s disgusting and grew up in a house with no indoor plumbing or Kleenex.

I used to work at an upscale hotel company in the tech department. Our main office was in one of the hotels. We had to share a bathroom with the “front of house” staff (waiters, housekeeping, kitchen staff, doormen etc)
At shift change, a full 40% of the incoming workers took “sink baths” in the bathroom. Washing their hair, armpits, blowing snot rockets everwhere in the sinks and counters. It was truly disgusting. There also was the problem of boogers wiped all over the stalls, and on the walls above the urinals. There was always 2-3 inches of water on the floor from the bathing activities.
The real kicker is, there were 2 shower stalls in the bathroom that they obviously chose not to use.
Oh, and before you accuse me of being an elitist (those gross front of house people!) I worked in NYC, where your average union banquet waiter easily clears 6 figures, and a good doorman can do just as well.
Money can’t buy class or manners.

Probably the same jerk who picks his nose and wipes it on the stall wall right above the damn toilet paper roll.

Are you sure it’s snot? Just remembering another passive aggressive note from the site about “spitting” in the shower in a men’s dorm. It wasn’t spit.
