Handkerchiefs

[GC7]

I just started doing it. Bought some cheap luxury hanky sets at Ross.

My nose runs constantly.. just water.. not sticky boogers so it's nice to wipe it when I feel something starting to drip down.

I sure do.

Comes in handy when you cut yourself and need a bandage, perhaps the gas station sushi didn't agree with you...many uses.

Too unsanitary for me. I just use paper towels (roll in the truck) or tissues.

I carry a hanky in my pocket and have a roll of paper towels in every truck as well as electrical tape….just in case.

Yep. Electrical tape and paper towels are a working mans vest friend.

I dont carry the little tidy whitey one but do have the large colorful bandanas that i carry daily to use for everything that comes up except blowing my nose.

Why not, cheap and disposable.

No. It is gross.

Wipe more than twice a day with that and you're gonna need lotion! Handkerchiefs are usually 100% cotton so it's smoooooooooth.

I was an electrician for years, so can relate to the scotch 33 band aid. We did find that the black fabric "Tar Tape" used for smoothing out rough edges on inline joints before applying WP Scotch 33 caused our scrapes to heal quicker.

I carried a handkerchief at all times when I was a kid with a lot of allergies but have mostly gotten away from doing that most of the time now. Yep, usually have a roll of paper towels handy when mowing or folded in my back pocket. Makes a mess in the washer when I forget to take it out. Also living in the country you learn to cough it up or suck it up and spit it out frequently if needed. Had to teach my 65yo GF how to do that. She only spit on me twice learning. Ha

I do still go through a lot of boxes of Klenex on a regular basis.

We grew up with booger vaults in our pockets. We had to have a hanky/bandana and a knife on us always. My dad would get these sh*tty 10 packs of white cotton hankies for each of us for like a buck that were never soft and always shrunk down to a little square. Bandanas were always GTG tho.

Yep. Carry a bandanna all the time. Folded a certain way to fit neatly in my left hip pocket.
