Edit: I had someone comment one time when I did, and it was kind of weird and embarrassing? But it seemed like a fairly normal thing to do, so I thought I'd ask.

Usually only if I'm sick, so I can see how transparent the snot is.

Yes, cause I work in a dusty environment. If you see dust or particulates in your snot, thats in your lungs too and you should start wearing a respirator.

I do. One day I expect to see a Turner Seascape.

Every time.

Every single time. I just like it.

I almost never blow my nose anymore since I read that doing so tends to blow snot into your sinus cavities, which increases the risk of infection. It's better to just sniff in most cases.
