No to Farmer's Blow!

Am I the only one that is disgusted when someone does a "farmer's blow" on the street?  Other people passing by seemed to be completely unfazed, but I feel sick when I see someone do that.  It's already bad enough when people spit on the streets, but this is a whole new level.

A farmer's blow is when one clears his/her stuffed up nose by covering up one hole with a finger and then using a little force, blow the contents out through the other hole that is open.  The description doesn't sound bad, but when you actually see it in motion, and with the loud snort sounds, it's a rather nasty sight.

Another thing I've noticed is that it's usually Asians I spot committing this dirty act.  Are we so classless that we don't care about the fact that we're in public?  This is not some rural area where you can do this kind of thing randomly in the open and no one would mind.  Then again, I think even in rural areas this is frown upon because it's unhygienic no matter where you are.

For the sake of cleanliness and manners, let's all refrain from doing this in public.  If you absolutely must, could you at the very least blow into a trash can and not shoot your payload onto the street!
