J. HallMemberI’ve noticed a few co-workers, particularly of Asian descent, feeling quite comfortable picking their nose in plain sight. Is this common?

Adrian30026ParticipantI can’t say for sure, but I’ll tell you that in Hong Kong there is a lot of debate about teaching locals not to spit in the street, and there’s a current joke: ‘”How do you break a Chinese kid’s finger? Punch him on the nose.” Maybe it’s just something there’s less taboo about. On the other hand, eating with your fingers revolts many Chinese.

Ann L. LowensteinParticipantI think it’s just generally lax standards in the workplace. My VERY Caucasian boss not only picks his nose, he scratches his crotch and butt, and generally behaves in a manner I would normally associate with a high school dropout or truck driver.
