Do you blow your nose one nostril at a time or both at once?

      and also, actually make sure you empty each one

      a lot of people seem to just blow and wiggle around like it’s magic

    I’m learning that there are people who blow their nose with both nostrils at the same time.

    This feels like when I discovered that there are people who wipe their butts from behind.

        Does… Does this person reach through the legs from the front?

          That’s how I do it! While still sitting down of course. I used to do it the other way standing up but find this easier and works better

            Ahahaha I’m the exact opposite, used to wipe sitting down back to front like you and switched to standing up front to back because it was easier

              Yeah but you basically said the same thing to someone who does the opposite so I’m just going to assume your strategy is to not wipe at all, which is weird

    I can’t blow my nose at all. Some weird mental block. I sniffle incessantly and drive everyone nuts instead.

      can you exhale hard out while your mouth is shut?

        Right? How does this person find things mildly amusing without blowing air through their nose?

    One at a time. I also can focus the energy on either the more front of the nose or the back of the nose towards the throat. I wish I could explain how but I cannot and it would be good if my kids could do it because it can help a lot.

    Both at once, hard enough to shoot boogers right through the tissue with a satisfying thwack. Bonus points if the neighbors move out because of the noise

    I don’t really blow it, I just pick and flick

    First right, then left. Very gentle, as overpressure is bad.

    Naah for some reason I find it incredibly disgusting. Instead, I scream till it gets out.
