Avoid embarrassment when picking your nose in public by maintaining strong eye contact with everyone around you.
The sage
Many people believe nose-picking should be a private activity. The Wise Sage disagrees. The key issue is not the act itself, but the lack of confidence with which it is performed.
If you must pick your nose in public, do so with purpose and authority. Hold your posture, fix your gaze on those nearby, and proceed as though you are engaged in a perfectly normal and socially accepted task. People are far less likely to question behaviour that is delivered with unwavering conviction.
For added sophistication, pause occasionally and nod thoughtfully, as if considering something important. This creates the impression that your actions are part of a larger process, possibly scientific or philosophical in nature.
If challenged, simply say, “It’s preventative maintenance,” and carry on.
As always, The Sage accepts no responsibility for horrified onlookers, awkward silences, or being quietly avoided in future social situations.
