Is it normal to pick your nose and wipe the boogers under your desk at work?

I am an attorney and used to work at a big law firm in a major city. Sometimes I would be in the middle of drafting a document - on a good day I would be writing from a stream of consciousness as thoughts popped into my head. When I was on a roll, I did not like to take breaks unless they were absolutely necessary.

There were several times where my nose was stopped up and I would pick it if my office door was closed. I had to do this because I didn't have any tissues in my office. Normally I would simply wipe the picked booger onto a small piece of paper and throw the paper in the trash can. However, there were times when no free paper was available, so I would wipe the boogers off on the bottom of my desk.

After about a year in my office, a senior associate left the firm and I inherited his old office. I tried to wipe off the boogers from the bottom of the desk, but I guess I missed a few. The 1st year associate in my old office actually walked over one time to complain that the bottom of his desk was encrusted with boogers! Unfortunately I had to tell him I had done it because I knew he would eventually discover that I was the only person whom had ever used that desk.

    Somewhat although I'm surprised you didn't hold of to get tissues. What I mean is if you had done it one day because you were in a jam maybe, but to make it a habit is a bit odd. Whatever, you've moved on now, no point in worrying about it.

    You had to do it because you had no tissues? Is it really that difficult to buy some?
