I blow my nose when I need to but it's loud when I do and wondered if it's better to blow my nose and get it over with or sniff. Most guys seem to just sniff, do you?

I would say sniffling is worse. It sounds gross and there is always the possibility that person may not sniffle in time. Could get messy. Just blow your nose and get it over with.

Neither sniffing nor blowing your nose bothers me. I figure the people can't help it. Sometimes I have to sniff because no matter how many times I blow my nose, I feel as if I have to do it again. So I do either depending on what's going on in my nose. What does disgust me is when someone pushes closed one nostril and then blows the contents of the other one out onto the ground. A friend of mine does that and though I've told him that it looks disgusting, he keeps doing it. I guess he thinks its macho or something.

For your good health, you should blow. Sniffing causes a build up of mucus and eventually you will end up with sinusitis or an ear infection. Everyone in the whole world has to blow their nose sometimes...it's not impolite, just don't do it at the table or anywhere else that it might gross people out.

Sniffing is so annoying. People should just blow their nose and get it over with.

Blowing is much better. There is nothing more effective than getting a large hanky and giving your nose a good blow.

it's worse to sit there sniffing, that is disgusting. i blow my nose, away from people, in a bathroom. nothing is worse than hearing someone blow their nose while at the dinner table.

Sorry, but the worst would be people mining the contents of their noses in public. They used to have something call a hankerchief before kleenex came in. Now these things are relagated to funerals and formal attire but maybe still has a bit of life left in them.

they are both nasty. if it is a runny nose thing, just keep a tissue and blot as needed. if u got junk up there for a one time thing, step out of the room to blow ur nose.

I am so sick, hack, hack.... people who are sick are gross and need to stay isolated until they feel better. Hack, hack, but I can't stop. So, I sniff, until I can reach paper of some type ~ ooohhh my nose! I blow! My eyes are pissing. Hack, hack, my car is covered in pollen. My ear cracks every time I swallow. I hope it stops soon!
