Does this bother you guys?

[Juniebee]

Does it bother you when people label sneezing or blowing one's nose in public ( with the appropriate etiquettes, like not at the dinner table or whatever) as gross or super rude? Like I get it's not the most charming thing in the world, but it's totally normal and human! Some people act like it's so disgusting and that bugs me so much because it's just!Normal! 

And this is besides the fetish- even if I didn't have the fetish I would find that just ...upsetting? Idk, I can't believe how annoying that must be for someone with chronic sinus issues/allergies/prone to getting sick must feel about it

It has annoyed me in the past. Nothing worse than being desperate to blow your nose, and having to grab a tissue and run off to find a quiet corner. :/ It never bothers me when others do it, but there you go - I've seen people flip out proper over it. Personally I think belching is much worse, yet it frequently is more acceptable. Odd.

Uh I regret to say I am one of those people who finds blowing your nose in public kinda gross no matter what. I am not sure why exactly I think this, especially because I have the fetish but I just do and I always have. Obviously I see your point, but I just think it's respectful if people do it in private.

With sneezing, it does annoy me when people act like you should be almost ashamed to sneeze in public/at the table.  The only time sneezing is rude, I feel, is when it's messy and uncovered at the same time, or when it's needlessly and obnoxiously loud.  Otherwise, it's a normal, bodily function that should be reasonably contained but does not have to be stifled or apologized for profusely.  And, as a blesser myself, I also get annoyed when people act as though it's excusing oneself after a sneeze that's really important, rather than being blessed for a sneeze.

Blowing your nose in public is nothing to be ashamed of, either -- though I will say that, as with loud sneezing, loud nose-blowing does tend to get on my nerves.

It doesn't bother me unless they are doing so right next to me and it's obnoxiously loud.

I don't find it rude at all, I wish it wasn't considered rude as then I'd get to see it a lot more often. I prefer it to constant sniffing which can be much louder and go on for ages, a quick and quiet blow can often solve the problem. I'm also really bad at sniffing, I can't make it stay up there  Also using your sleeve seems much more acceptable than using a tissue now, there's no danger of getting it on your hand that way but it's not so good for the sleeve. When I watch TV public vomiting seems a lot more common than public noseblowing but surely the first one is much worse?

I didn't realise until recently that it was rude to do it at the dinner table, my parents have always said the rudest thing you can possibly do at the dinner table is leave it during a meal. They blow their noses at the sinner table almost every day, often in unison. For a while I had a condition where I couldn't really wait to go to the toilet so I often had to ask permission to leave the table and practically beg before they very grudgingly agreed, making it clear I was doing a really terrible thing and they were being very kind. There is no way they'd give anyone permission to leave the table to blow their nose.

Luckily it didn't matter me not knowing it was rude, I am terrified of blowing my nose in public so I wouldn't unless it was completely desperate and even then it would be as quick and quiet as possible. I remember once getting a runny nose during a meal on a school trip, I was too shy to ask to leave the table considering my parents had told me it was a terrible thing so I dropped my knife under the table so I could deal with it out of sight.

I find it quite freaky seeing my parents blow their noses, it's a bit like seeing them kissing. But what really terrifies me is when they go out for dinner, do they blow their noses at the table in restaurants too? Probably.

So to answer the question finally, it doesn't bother me when someone blows their nose in public but I do worry for them that someone might have a go at them for it.

(sorry this is so long)

I don't find sneezing or blowing your nose in a public setting to be rude as long as the person makes a conscious effort not to spread germs.

I'm in the camp who is more than OK with it being considered rude...the desperation with which a girl tries to prevent/hide sneezing in public makes it all the more gratifying for me when she fails

I totally agree!

DEFINITELY agree. As someone with this fetish who is also kind of a germaphobe I have a very thin line between loving seeing people sneeze in public and REALLY not liking it. 

[starsoup]

I find people who are openly rude about their germaphobia completely unattractive.  Even I have a certain amount of fear of germs, but hearing people talk about it makes me view them as weak.  So yes, I find it annoying.
