Is it a power move to blatantly pick your nose in front of people?

My last two bosses have done this. Both successful, smart guys (one considerably younger than me). When the first guy (younger guy) did it on a casual Teams chat between he and I, I just thought "kinda gross" and whatever. I blocked this out for obvious reasons, but I kind of remember him rolling the booger between his fingers and then examining it. Horrible.

Now my current boss just did it when we were walking to a fairly fancy steak dinner. Thankfully I did not witness him playing with and admiring his handiwork like my previous boss did.

Is this as weird as it seems to me? Or is it not that weird and I'm just surprised as I was brought up in a posh Mayfair neighbourhood? Or is it a power move as I posit in my thread title?

Here's a picture of my ribeye (rare) as a thank you for reading.

My power move is to put my finger against one nostril while blowing snot from the other onto the other person’s shoe. This, of course, immediately establishes my dominance.

First of all that’s well done, and second of all if they didn’t eat a booger then they are fakers.

I assure you that steak is rare. I wish I had taken a picture after I cut into it because I too thought "there's no way that's rare". I didn't feel like sending it back in front of clients. But happily, it was.

I think Chicken should promote a fight between you, TulaneLSU, and Coyote. It should be a no-holds-barred fight to the death. The winner gets to keep posting privileges and will be forever known as the most cringe wanker (I figure that's a word you'd like) on the site.

I prefer the in-person, cocked-leg, arse itch.

Deal closer every fricking time.

Some think picking boogers is weird, but it's snot.

I do it and honestly I consider it a bad habit. After this I realize now I’m a leader.

Given that both of these examples are bosses... you sure they aren't catching a coke drip? That shits expensive.

I may or may not have caught coke drip in public before and stuck it in my mouth. Too damn happy to give a damn if people thought I was eating boogers.

Eating boogers boost your immune system.

Not eating boogers is beta

I’m an Executive, Sr. VP at a Fortune 500 and can honestly say I do not do this.

Not surprised you order burnt shoe leather to eat.
