Eating your boogers in public, especially in a classroom setting, is generally considered socially inappropriate behavior for several reasons:
Hygiene: Picking your nose and eating it can spread germs and bacteria, which can be unhygienic and potentially lead to illness.
Social norms: Nose-picking and eating boogers are generally considered private behaviors. Doing it in public, especially in a classroom with peers, can be seen as socially awkward and impolite.
Respect for others: Engaging in behaviors that others find gross or offensive can be disrespectful to those around you, as it may make them uncomfortable or embarrassed.
Setting an example: In a classroom setting, students often look to their peers for cues on appropriate behavior. Engaging in such actions can set a poor example for others, particularly if they are younger or impressionable.
Making a defensive comment when others reacted to your behavior by saying, "lol like you don't do it in your room," might not have been the best response either. It can come across as dismissive and doesn't address the fact that the behavior is inappropriate in a shared public space.
It's essential to be mindful of your actions and considerate of those around you. If you find yourself engaging in habits that others might find unpleasant, try to break those habits in public settings and practice good hygiene and social awareness. This will help you navigate social situations with more ease and respect for others.
