Glue Boogers

If you've lived in Colorado for any length of time, you are likely familiar with the glue booger. The glue booger is a special type of booger that is bred in dry climates. If you were to travel any distance to the east or west, you'd probably find that the glue booger is really a gooey snot that is best blown out with a tissue, but Colorado air has mutated it into a booger that sticks to everything. It sticks to your nose hairs first, refusing to blow out with the rest of the gunk.

At this point, you have probably decided that picking it out is a better tactic. You are wrong. Once it touches your finger it will be a total bitch to get off. You will think you've wiped it on the tissue only to find it clinging to your hand a few minutes later- sometimes even after a vehement hand washing. You may try to flick it off violently into space only to see that now it is stuck to your flicking fingernail instead of the finger it was stuck to. When it comes to a glue booger, there are really only two ways of dealing with it.

1.) Roll the glue booger between your fingers until either dirt or hand oils have depleted some of the glue and made the booger flickable. Be careful of where you are flicking the booger to make sure it doesn't land on any unsuspecting passers-by. Preferably wash hand after completing this process.

2.) If in the car when a glue booger strikes, wipe it on the floor mat. Car mat material seems to be the only fabric that is capable of temporarily trapping said boogers. Of course, it may stick to your shoe at some later point, but then it will be out of site and out of mind.
