Costco, sure, but I can't recall ever seeing a single product at Target that is cheaper than Walmart.

You're right but there are rare occasions when Target has it on sale less mfg coupon + offers like buy 3 get free $5 GC and finally 5% off with Target Red Card.

Why do you need Kleenex to blow your nose anyway? I normally grab a wad full of toilet paper and blow away.

You keep toilet paper on your desk by your computer?

People who drop by and see that must look at you funny.

I use TP when I run out of kleenex and am being cheap for a week or two, but they aren't easily interchangeable. TP is just way too flimsy to handle the forceful explosions that emit from my face horn. And the fragments stick to my manly face beard and easily go unnoticed--thus eliminating all the value that a beard provides in displaying manly fortitude in a public setting.

Nope. I never had an issue with my nose running at my desk. If i ever had the need to blow, i get my ass up and go to the bathroom and honk away. I also twist a few wads into pointy balls and ram them up each nostril to remove any excess debris or any buildup.

i find the opposite. TP, when bundled up in a tight package is way more strong than a single piece of kleenix or facial tissue. i've blown right threw kleenix tissues during allergy season. was not pretty.

Oh I can blow through kleenex as well, but you are trying to compare bundled TP to a sheet of kleenex.

Clearly, you are agreeing with me that TP is far less efficient and on a surface area comparison, completely inadequate for the task.

It's also obnoxious to retrieve a proper amount of TP in time if you have a major gusher on its way out of your head.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that does this. Blowing your nose out in the open is gross I don't know why it's commonly accepted as normal. Do that shit in the bathroom, and put it straight down the toilet. I don't want mucus infested tissues just floating about in the open and the bacteria/viruses going airborne. That is how you spread colds.

I also do the thing of shoving a wad up the nose to clear up excess.

Most importantly, when I'm done the process I wash my hands.

My man. :D

That's 100% exactly how I feel and exactly what I do when I blow my nose.

Is it odd, or completely expected, that some of the most socially awkward human beings who have ever inhabited this planet find it "gross" to blow one's nose in public? Seems like there may be a connection there.

Red or Linux on a first date:

"Are you having a nice time? Excuse me while I go to the shitter and blow my nose. I've got a snot monster up my beak that could fill your dinner plate."

not sure if you've dated or not, but there is no way that i would blow my honker in front of my date on our first outing. i don't think anyone else either would do that (first impressions and all).

your comment shows your lack of experience.
