Nose goes do you always lose?

Post Reply New Topic

So I see a lot of NTs do this and I always seem to lose the bet.
This really pisses me off when I am always the one to do the chores because I am so slow at responding to these or I have no prior warning of when they are making such a deal. I lost twice to people who did this one in my sophmore year and one today. Why do people do these kinds of deals without telling me?

I'd lose because I had no idea what "nose goes" was until now.

Nose goes? Sorry, I don't get it.

This. I had to look it up.

I'm still clueless as to what this means and too lazy to use Google to figure it out.

How childish.

I had to look it up... that sounds like it's a game for small children... created by... small children

My dry sense of humor... after losing and being given the task... I'd point back and say "Nose" and walk away >_>

If they gave a fuss... I'd just ask them if they want to challenge me to an all or nothing crayon eating contest for a second round

Nose goes! Op, Civ101 you got to take out the trash!

"Nose Goes is a predominantly American social phenomenon ..."

I never heard of it before. If people tried to pull that on me I'd ignore it and not do whatever they wanted. I didn't agree to anything.

When I was in school there were times they did this and I didn't understand it at all and no one ever explained it to me even when I had to do it at least once.

Ok, this is what you should do when someone does that, verbatim. Look annoyed (practice if you have to), say "F*** off, I'm busy", and then keep on walking.

edit: Learning to be mean is one of the most important things you can do to stop yourself from being bullied. Try to figure out people's insecurities and sensitivities, and hit them there, like it was an emotional scrotum. I remember one time in the 4th grade, before I started being homeschooled, some kid was making fun of me. I said "At least my mom isn't an alcoholic because my pedophile dad blew his brains out after my mom caught him molesting me". He started crying, I started pointing and laughing. He never made fun of me again. I got stared at a lot more, though.

Always.

Kind of how I felt, Now that the next time they do this to me and I was unaware I'm just going to tell them I was never alerted a head of times so I am not going to do the work.

So what does "nose goes" mean anyway? I'm no clearer having read this thread.

4 people in a group, let's say they decide to order pizza, but no one wants to make the phone call. Someone says noes goes, everyone puts their finger on their noes, the last one has to go and make the phone call.

Or one person silently puts their finger on their noes, people notice what has happened and do that also, the one person who did not has to call the pizza place.

The problem with me the last time was that none told me when it would happen.

Anyway. here is the wiki on it.
