Am I wrong in thinking nose blowing is rude at the table, or a restaurant?
OK. I will stop blowing my nose at the table and just let her run and drip. Or I may add some really heavy duty sniffing to suck it all back up so you don’t get your tender sensibilities battered and bruised. Some people have noses that tend to run while eating. Running to the loo every few bites would be pretty rude to many who are so concerned with table manners. Your best bet is to quiz people before you share a table with them. I will continue to do what I think is the best I can, which is to discretely blow my nose and not overtly disrupt an otherwise pleasant meal.
