Blow nose at table in restaurant

[Anonymous]

Is it appropriate to blow your nose at a table in a restaurant?
Yes or no and what is your background? Race, age? Income ?

No. I might blot my nose surreptitiously, but if I had to blow my nose, I’d excuse myself.
It’s fine for a small child in a kid-focused restaurant though.

Yeah, it’s vulgar and disgusting. But I do it anyway.

Race? Income? This is simple common decency that knows no racial or income boundaries - of course you don't blow your nose at the table whether it be at home our at a restaurant. So nasty.

I would try to avoid it. At most a surreptitious wipe.

East Asian by background and my family and I think it's gross.

SO is white and he and his family (30s to 90s in age) are constantly blowing these noses after dinner while people are still eating.

I'm sorry but isn't slurping part of your dinner culture?

It’s a natural thing - it’s not gross

Hate it.

Are you my DW?

This is literally the #1 reason why we can't eat out. She can hear a nose blow from across a crowded room.

Her dad used to blow his nose after every meal. I think she has nose blow PTSD.

That said, she's right. There's a place for everything and nose blowing belongs in the bathroom.

No. Gross.

Acceptable to me but I don’t do it because I know people think it’s gross.

No. You are supposed to excuse yourself and go to the restroom.
