What do you do when there is a pink elephant in the room? If the person you are talking to has a big chunk of spinach in his or her teeth do you tell them or just ignore it? What about when someone has a giant pimple that you can tell has been freshly picked at and is oozing blood?
Today at work I saw a coworker with the biggest booger I have ever seen in my life hanging from the end of his nose. He’s not someone I interact with on a regular basis so I felt a little awkward approaching him to let him know. If it was one of my girl friends or closer coworkers it might have been easier. But, I asked myself if I would want to walk around with a huge booger like that hanging from my nose and of course I said no. So I walked up to him and very quietly whispered that he might want to use a tissue. He turned bright red and instantly shielded his nose. I told him it happens to us all and walked away. I’m sure he was humiliated but, at least I prevented him from walking around longer with that monster hanging out.
