One of my co-workers was faced with a dilemna yesterday at the office. She was called to the Boss Man's office for a casual meeting, and it wasn't long until she noticed that the Boss Man had a booger. Not just any booger, but the dry and greenish kind that was coming out of his nose. It was just hanging there. She tried not to stare at it, but she was lost of what to do.
She did nothing, and walked out of his office without saying a word.
She felt guilty. It bothered her all day.
What would you do?
Would you tell? Would you hand a kleenex to the guy, or politely point to his nose? Or would you say nothing, and hope that it would just fall off by itself before he saw himself in the mirror, so later he can realize that you had said nothing? I'm not quite sure what I would do myself. I don't refer the Boss Man as a friend really--just my boss. He is a nice guy, but he is the Boss. I don't think I would feel comfortable to point out his big booger. I think it would have been too much of an embarrassing situation for the both of us. Too personal. I'm just glad I didn't have to witness it first hand.
Has this ever happened to you?

Now whenever you see him, you will think "Boogie Man" and have a hard time not laughing or staring at his nose. Dilemma!--Cin
eww..gross! LOL!
yap...that's a dilemma anyone would not want to be in!
Goodluck to your Boss..hopefully he figured out by now that "something feels sticky" thingy hanging out of his nose.
(LOL!)
Gem :-D
Ewww... I would have ignored it too, unless I did consider the boss a friend too.
be well,
Dawn
if it was an important meeting with others there i would motion to my nose and hope the dude got the drift but if i was not close to the boss, it would be scary to tell him he had snot falling out of his nose!
HUGS, lisa
