Why do people look in the kleenex after they blow their nose?

Answer 1

well i cant say for everyone else but i want to see my health condition on my nose secretion.

clear and water= its allergies
thick and yellow=my body is starting to get a cold or i am healing from it
green and funky=i have a full blown cold and my body is fighting it off.
brown and chunky=i need to clean/pick my nose for snot
black,brown and watery=yikes i gotta see a doctor, it might be a really serious condition
red and water=damn i got a nosebleed.

Answer 2

To make sure that their brain has not come out through their nose, of course. HA HA HA!!

But really, sometimes when you are getting a cold or have a full blow one, it sometimes feels as if everything inside your head is coming through your nose. I think that they are just being cautious.

Answer 3

A lot of people have to be careful when they blow their nose or it will bleed...so some people check for that.....I check to make sure I haven't blown my brains out through my nose.

Answer 4

I look to see if there is room for more snot. If there is I'll save the kleenex.

Answer 5

Instinct. Most people will check anything that comes out of their body for blood (that's why people look at the toilet paper after they wipe).

Answer 6

I personally do because whenever i get a runny nose, it becomes a sinus infection. A surefire way to see if you're getting one is if your snot becomes a yellowish or greenish color.

Just makin sure! ;-)

Answer 7

Simple, basic, human curiosity about whatever comes from their bodies. Don't you look in the toilet before yu flush? Come on - be honest!

Answer 8

Probably the same reason people like the smell of thier own farts yet despise the smell of others.

Answer 9

You can all sorts of interesting things there. Even if you don't remember them. What about all the cool viusuals that you see a farm, clouds, roadkill. Think about it!

Answer 10

They want to make sure nothing in there has changed since the last time they looked.
