I know, all offensive. What I'm looking for is what makes one less worse than the others. My own feelings are that sucking one's thumb doesn't interfere with the space of others, so it's less offensive than farting. One can clean one's thumb, as opposed to one's boogers, so thumbsucking is the least offensive. But, I think that, typically, social mores are less rational and people feel as they do for reasons they may not be aware of. I want to explore that notion here.
