European Coworker keeps picking nose.

So there is a European guy who sits few desks away my desk.. if I lift my head and look straight I can see him and every now and then he is picking his nose and then typing something on keyboard. Before all you keyboard warriors say it’s protein or stuff.. How can some people be so dumb? Like this is not your home it’s office environment where 50 people are sitting beside you in open office space. What to do? Leaving a note on his desk? Edit: he is again picking his nose as we speak. I don’t shake hands with him etc but my problem is this idiot goes straight to kitchen/pantry and touches things with his bare hands.

Don’t leave a note. You insensitive coworker. If it bothers you so much why not talk to the guy randomly about it instead? Much better way than giving anonymous feedback making him feel like shit.

I don’t know him and he is not from my team since we all are colocating and sitting in an open office environment I have no choice but see this wonderful sight once in a while.

Just don’t look in his direction. And don’t shake his hand. Problem solved.

I had a boss who would always touch himself in our 1:1 meetings, the creepy fuck... we were both straight males... he kept doing it even after I asked him to stop. He is still the CEO over at his company. A big liar too.

Why don't you pick your nose when he sees you and show how it is really done 😂

Look him in the eye when he’s picking his nose and ask, “psssst... hey [name]! Are you going to eat that?” Say it with the same facial expression and intonation you would use if you were asking someone about something you wanted to eat if they weren’t going to.

Offer him a tissue next time you see it.

Take him to lunch or coffee and commiserate on allergies - tell him to take something like zrytek and it won't be a problem anymore.
