Sleepless42	Posted May 30th, 2009 at 8:23PM My dad does, always has but I'm not a fan. Would much rather throw my boogers away than carry them round in my pocket! Rated: +3Vote for this!
hurldog	Posted May 30th, 2009 at 7:35AM What a revolting concept! Besides, sleeves work just fine. Rated: +2Vote for this!
singer1960	Posted May 30th, 2009 at 3:13AM I know that I did at my daughters wedding...And so did lots others..... Ya just have to use one when you see your baby walking down on the arm of her father...To the man that loves her so much...That he would do anything in the world for her.... Rated: +1Vote for this!
PorcupineMan	Posted May 30th, 2009 at 2:59AM I know one guy who did. But I think it's really weird to blow a bunch of snot into a mini towel and then stick it back into your pocket. Kinda gross. Rated: +1Vote for this!
Comprehensive2	Posted May 30th, 2009 at 2:52AM I do. I have a set. I also sent some to my ex-mother in law for Christmas a couple of times. Rated: +1Vote for this!
void00	Posted May 30th, 2009 at 3:42AM I do...only to clean my glasses :) Rated: +1Vote for this!
SadEyedLady88	Posted May 30th, 2009 at 3:47AM Who cares what 'people' do! Got a hanky, love it? Use it for grease, snot, tears or fashion... Rated: +1Vote for this!
Waiwera	Posted May 30th, 2009 at 5:42AM I do - mainly to make sure my keys stay in my pocket. I use tissues for clearing my nose. Rated: +1Vote for this!
tyco313	Posted May 30th, 2009 at 5:47AM yea I think its definately a dad and grandad thing to do!! I think they are gross!! not only are you carrying your boogers round with you but your wiping your nose on fabric! It feels wrong. I have a polkadot hanky though which I hang out of my back pocket attached with a safty pin!! Rated: +1Vote for this!
enna30	Posted May 30th, 2009 at 6:25AM I use mine for my glasses - and to dry my hands if there are no hand towels in public bathrooms! Use tissues for blowing my nose. Rated: +1Vote for this!
Entr0py	Posted May 30th, 2009 at 6:39AM Because sometimes there are no trash cans to dispose of used tissues? Rated: +1Vote for this!
2nice	Posted May 30th, 2009 at 7:49AM It's a thing from the older generations. I remember my grandparents using them and also remember my granmother laundering them and ironing them. Tissue wasn't as abundant in those days and not as soft as it is today. I still see a few older folks using them, but seldom a younger person. Rated: +1Vote for this!
maddieaz	Posted May 30th, 2009 at 7:56AM I have some but I only use them for occasions I know there will be tears. I DO NOT blow my nose into it, just wipe my eyes. They look a lot dressier than a wad of tissue. Rated: +1Vote for this!
imahag	Posted May 30th, 2009 at 8:12AM My husband does and he says all men should carry one. Rated: +1Vote for this!
edgargeorge	Posted May 30th, 2009 at 8:35AM Well, I was going to point out that it the "green" thing to do, but realized that could be a really bad pun...hehehe... My 15 year old son is a huge advocate of them, in fact, he gave nice linen ones to everyone in the family last year for Christmas. Hey, in a pinch, would you rather have snot running down your face or neatly tucked away? And they don't fall apart in the wash, as inevitably someone puts a tissue in their pocket and forgets about it... Rated: +1Vote for this!
Sathanas	Posted May 30th, 2009 at 9:09AM Sometimes. I do. I like anything old fashioned and it's really more convenient anyway. Rated: +1Vote for this!
rusted	Posted May 30th, 2009 at 11:27AM I do. I like the red bandannas. They come in handy for all sorts of things that have nothing to do with semi-private bodily maintenance. Rated: +1Vote for this!
