Do you produce excess amounts of snot whilst working? I am frequently shooting surplus snot out of my nose while I ride, but sometimes I forget to do it before I go in a building. Makes it difficult to chat up hot receptionists when you're concentrating on the art of keeping the snot inside your nozzle without sniffing like a cokehead or snorting like a pig, instead of having it drizzle out like some sort of mini-snot river, like you're some sort of little nursery school kid in the winter, who hasnt learnt to use a tissue yet.

Messenger man makes massive mucous mistake

yes....it could be lactose intolerance, though with your cod-rastafari name and locks you're no doubt a vegan....so couldn't be that, right?

If you're not a vegan and and drink milk...try cutting it out....cheese, and yogurt are fine though.

aaar forget that ,its the sweaty arm pits in lifts that i worry about

Carry a handkerchief, like a proper young gent......it's greener than tissues....well certainly by the end of the day it'll be very green.

That was blown out of all proportion.

i get bad green mucus, worse when im not in london, gets caught in the throat and makes breathing difficult, comes out and sticks to any thing it hits (shoulder, cheek, bag, car, hot receptionists, ect.)

I'm vegan and I still get huge amounts of snot: both lumps and dribbles.
I blame London pollution and previous bad habits.

One thing that helps me is nasal irrigation: washing your nostrils out with saline (salt water).
You can buy a fancy spray to do it, or you can DIY.
Boil some water with a teaspoon of salt in it,let it cool, soak a tissue in it, jam the tissue under both nostrils then sniff hard.
You'll get a mixture of air bubbles and saline right up your nostrils and into your sinuses,
which should moisturise and clean them out a bit.
Then wait as long as possible before blowing your nose and seeing how much crud come out
(or involuntarily sneezing and decorating the wall).
For hardcore types, just stick your nostrils into a bowl of saline and sniff.

Just watch that it doesn't go down the back of the throat:
start gently and you'll get the idea.

It requires a bit of getting used to the technique, but it's definitely worth it for me.

Worst snot story ever?

Commuting to a crap job at the Gherkin in the middle of winter.
Leap out of bed at 9am, monged from night before.
Realise my breath smells like a Klingon's underpants, so quickly brush teeth.
Leap on manky old hybrid and do record time to Gherkin.
Smile and wave at friendly security guard who lets me through barrier without checking ID 'cos he knows me, park bike, rush through lobby into lift.
Turn to look in mirror and realise that there's a huge trail of snot and toothpaste smeared all over my left cheek ...

I wonder what the guard thought it was?

P.S. @chris crash
You may be getting more snot outside London 'cos when you're in London, the pollution is so bad that it stops your mucous membranes from producing enough snot,
so when you get into cleaner air, your mucous membranes are suddenly, like "Hey, we're working!" and overproduce snot.
The same thing happens to some people when they quit smoking.
