Seen by Me

I had a weird experience the other day, and I just have to share it with someone. So you lucky people get to hear about it.

I was at a gathering of people, including many people older than me and most of them fairly intelligent and well-known in this particular circle. One older, well-known gentleman (I'll guess he's in his 50s) was sitting near me for one part of the gathering, sort of next to but slightly in front of me. Suddenly, I noticed he was acting kind of weird, glancing from side to side apparently trying to see if anyone was watching him.

Then it happened. He, repeatedly, picked his nose. Then he would inspect what he removed. Then he ate it. This happened multiple times, but the multiple that made me move to another group was about 3 times. And I think that's only because I couldn't believe what I was seeing for the first two times.

It's been a while since I've had an experience like this, where someone is doing something totally bizarre in public and I get to witness it. It used to happen to me all the time. I'm kind of glad that I had a good streak going, and totally grossed out that this is how it was broken.
