Mostly, nose picking is a self- nurturing, natural hygiene, fashion maintenance practice. Everyone wants to breath properly, appear well-kept and no one wants to have dried mucus dangling from a nose follicle nor embedded in plain view inside their nostril orifice opening. This is a huge fashion faux pas! So, in some respects it is an extremely important human function similar to the feline that publicly licks fecal matter from around it's anal opening. We don't hold the cat in heightened destain for natural hygiene while it fondly licks and tickles our cheek with its cute little tongue post hygiene maintenance.
For the public nose picker, it is not done to offend but it is done because of a couple factors. One reason for the phenomenon is the lack of preparation time. Most public nose pickers would much rather perform their fashion maintenance in a private setting but their lack of foresight keeps them from properly performing in a private setting. For these folks a better understanding of time management is necessary.
Another group of public nose pickers are the, "I just grew this baby a minute ago..." crowd. Many of these people did in fact perform their fashion maintenance in a private session but due to weather conditions, smog, humidity, health and genetic factors the outer mucus growth becomes pronounced and can build momentum (commonly known as the snowball effect). A public nose picking display is the only option they have. This group has a tendency to be defiant if noticed.
Studies in the future should include global warming's effect of public nose picking.

Next time you see one please look a little more carefully. * out of 10 would NOT pick their nose but would hold their nose, left or right side.
It is their habit. Like we find people, holding their ears . Ormaking gesture with their fingers. Touching their nose is also a sign of some deep internal thinking. I bite my nails , subconsciously. Am I any better than the "nose picker'?

It could be out of habit, and they may not realize they are doing it. They do it so often it becomes "normal" to do it wherever they are, they stare back at you maybe cuz they if they stop, it will look like they know they are doing something wrong...Tissue is softer...
