This information is ambiguous. Are we
witnessing intermittent nasal purging,
or simultaneous honking/speaking.
If the former...then it's an inappropriate
social display, if the latter, then it's
bluegrass music.

Please advise so I can update my
notes before we go to print.

The speaking occurred during the post-nose-blowing nasal cavity
excavations. Also, your kink is not okay.

Again...for clarification. Then, there was no
bluegrass music, and "blowing while talking"
refers to "blowing then talking immediately
thereafter while the other party is still attentive"?
One would assume then that the offender
was talking prior to the blow, such that we
have a..."talk, blow, talk" sequence, or a
"talk, blow, exit" sequence.

Sociologically this indicates a certain
assumed familiarity between the offender
and the blowee. I would take specific
actions to deter this assumed familiarity,
or it's inevitable that the offender will
escalate their behavior to a..."talk, fart, talk"
sequence or a "talk, fart, exit" sequence.
In severe cases one might encounter a
"talk, blow, fart, talk, fart, exit" sequence,
which could lead to workplace violence.

And no, there is no kink, only stone
cold objective analysis.

No. Talk, blow, pick-nose-while-talking.

There is no level of familiarity that makes such behavior any less icky
and inappropriate IN A PROFESSIONAL SETTING.

You might think that sort of thing wouldn't need to be said, but you'd
be wrong.

I find this disturbing, and borderline
sociopathic, in light of the fact there
was no country music involved.

Yes, especially there at Arby's.

You need to carry a pitchpipe to test whether she's in tune, when this happens.

Cow-orkers are funny sometimes. There's a very pretty woman of the
opposite sex in my office, and she generally seems to smile back, but
sometimes she makes awkward comments about her boyfriend's gun
collection. And she seems obsessed with disinfecting her desk. Should
I be concerned?

This person sounds nice.

Why, because he is giving his guns more attention
than he is giving her, or...is he spending all their
money on them, or is he just girding for the
coming apocalypse and storing pork n beans and
rice in their underground bunker?

>And she seems obsessed with disinfecting her desk.

Sounds like a smart girl, very nice.

> Should I be concerned?

Yes, she is perfect and her husband
is going to shoot you.
