In my mind a snot rocket implies a ninja-esque stealthy discharge or something that can be used to kill an assailant in the heat of road rage. This made me go away and reflect on my original gripe and reconsider if there's room for it in the world of the daily commute. But in reality what i see is more a snot fountain followed by a shameless smearing of snot onto Altura Hi-Vis jacket and cork handlebar tape. This morning i watched some guy have to claw the shit out of his beard wipe it onto his shorts then repeat with the other nostril whilst his gloves were still full of snot. So yeah, me and everyone else in the ASL thought it was fucking disgusting but i at least managed to laugh about it thanks to this healthy chat.
