8. If I Point Out The Nude-Caterpillar-Like Snot-beast Dangling From Her Nostril?

This is our first reader question, and, although we suspect our fair reader already knows the answer in his or her heart of hearts, we will attempt to fully address its nuances.

This scenario falls right on the line between clumsy flirtation — maybe you read one of those asinine pickup artist manuals, and you were using the boogie-splosion to score a “neg?” — and utter tactlessness. The first thing you need to consider is what grade you’re in. If you answered “third,” you are flirting!

If you’re a grownup, just hope that you pointed out the offending snot-beast in a charming, humorous way. Also, that you didn’t touch it. Never touch it. That’s not flirting, but it is probably unhygienic.
