Thoughts on sniffing

On two separate occasions this week I became aware of a person near me sniffing repeatedly. Both times they were young women. Probably both had colds. I don't know how they could stand the constant sniffing. My quandary was - should I have offered them a tissue? Would that have seemed aggressive or rude or might it actually be helpful? It might be better than me snapping, 'For God's sake blow your nose'!

Ooh yes.
A sniffers Big Brother programme would be good to watch, too.
All lounging around in beanie hats and gym clothes,sniffing.

Could they be voted out by a phone in?
Maybe a few celebrity sniffers?

Yes, I think the most loathsome sniffer could be voted out.
Celeb sniffers could be very interesting.
