This dude I work with sucks snot like every 3 minutes. I'm talking like a pre-loogie suck. I wish he'd just either hack the thing up or blow his nose. But how do you tactfully tell a co-worker that he is repulsive????

I would say..........."would you like some hot sauce to go with that?"
*good luck---he sounds supremely nasty

I would start off with "Man my allergies are acting up, so I bought some tissue, any time you need it don't hesitate to grab some."
This way it is you telling him politely yet subtly that you understand he may have an issue and you want to help rather than be rude.
Maybe he's not aware of how many times he's doing it. Some people are completely oblivious to their habits.

Just reading your question made me gag. Give them a box of tissue and tell them how disgusting this habit is. If that doesn't work, the next time he does it, throw up on his desk. Can you wear headphones to work?

There was a girl in my class who did that. One day I came early and put tissues on her desk, when she got there, she moved them to another desk, and sat down. She didn't get the hint, as she did it all day again.

Have some tissues with you and when he does it again, ask "would you like a tissue?". After a couple of times offer him your box of them or something.

Tell him that what he is doing will make him ill, you know all that mucus, eeeeyak!, or better still buy some hankies, and drop the hint to him hopfully he will catch on.

That is a disgusting Habit, Ask him if he has a breathing problem, maybe he will get the picture

say "listen dude, were you raised in a back alley of a crack infested neighborhod? or is it that you are completely unaware of your disgusting habit of snotsucking?" and than hand him a tissue

Buy him a cleenex box, and just put it on his desk, see if he gets the hint.

When he does it say "oh, do you need a tissue?" then hand him one. (This means pretending you've never heard him do it before.)
