Definitly. Any one (mainly women) who use tissues, are planet murderers. handkerchiefs need to be washed a waste of resources. Again killing the planet just for .....reasons.
I draw the line at doing it in the pub due to the constant whining.
I don't need to do it very often but it tends to run down my face and I just wipe it off with my hand or gloves. If on hand I then wipe it on shorts. Two wipes results in it being spread over a large area and is not noticeable.
" Paper Tissue" Really? some people have to much money. Surely a bit of bog roll would be cheaper or even a bit of newspaper!

Tissues biodegrade. I think 'planet murderer' may just be a tad over the top.

Yes but you use energy to create them unnecessarily. AND murder trees.

Possibly! So I will change it to tree murderers!!

I didn't realise this would cause such an interesting thread.

Love the "double barrel snotgun" which genuinely made me laugh out loud - which had the guy in the office with me wondering because I'm reading this while he on a conference call.
I can't begin to imagine how a cyclist can pull this off (geddit!) without getting covered in your own juices though.

For the record, mine are just clear stuff. None of the oysters or green stuff for me.
I think its just due to the weather too because I don't recall being so snotty before it got really damp.

But that could lead into a whole other discussion about crusts that I'm not sure some people on the thread could deal with ;-)

Mankind are incapable of murdering the planet; that is a slightly annoying fallacy.
The planet will survive and prosper; it is mankind who will be wiped out, just like a bit of snot on its surface.
Once we're gone, nature will take its course, as it has done for 4.5 billion years already.

I'm with the yes camp on this issue. Although its not sightly, I don't see a problem and especially off road as Meta pointed out. As for doing it on the road, its not like the tarmac isn't full of diesel, oil, horse poo, dirt and other detritus.

At least we don't have to roll around in it like those football types. Always amazes me how much they snot and spit on a pitch and then 5 minutes later they will be sliding round in their or their team mates

Tiger Woods gobbing on a top notch golf course in front of millions with tv..now that is unacceptable..

 

[Accy cyclist]

I went out on a group ride today. I hate it having to "be polite" and refrain from snotting and grobbing. I was almost choking by the time i found a spare few seconds to bail out. I either try to get ahead of the others then have a good clear out, or i'll tag along at the back giving me plenty of time and space to fire away!

Only if it's on the green, though, if you'll pardon the pun? It'd be poor form for someone's seventeen foot putt to be slowed or otherwise deviated from its path to the hole by somebody's recently flobbed gob.

Perfectly acceptable in the long rough. Especially if you've just completely shanked your attempted escape with a 5-iron.

it tends to look like you have rabies...been there many times

Not a serious remark by me.

Didn't think it was!

I snot bomb (sorry @Saluki and @welsh dragon - otherwise I'm perfect ) - if I stopped to blow my nose I'd never get anywhere! Shoulder checking for other quieter riders is important (voice of experience) and NOT bombing in high winds on the Forth Bridge when passing tourists have rolled down their car window for a better view is very, VERY important...
