    But maybe if you blow too hard the pressure build up will cause the snot to escape somewhere, or even to push something else out of the way, like your eyes or your brain.

    Client sites (that I visit) are on the mainland in FR & DE. Old buildings with lots of corridors and rooms.

    Edit. I missed the point I see. I try and avoid getting into the situation in the firstplace.

    When it's that really irritating snot which is the consistency of water and can make a run for it faster than you have time to get a tissue, try stuffing balls of tissue up your nostrils to act as sponges.

    Better if you WFH.

    With a tissue, unlike some the other unhygienic twats around the office.
