How Do You Let Someone Know Their Nose Is Whistling?

    I'm trying to concentrate and this guy across from me is whistling with his nose, how do I get him to stop?

    Can you really walk up to a stranger and tell them to go blow their nose?

    It's really annoying me now.

    It's happening right now.

    Help!

    Give him a kick in the face.

    Identify the tune for him and when he looks at you in confusion, say "Sorry, thought you were whistling Colonel Bogey there". If he doesn't take the hint there's no hope for him and you'll be doing him a favour by killing him.

    sprinkle pepper around his desk are, it may force a sneeze from him and clear his passages..(ooh Matron)

    Stick your two fingers into his nose and say "shhhhh"

    Is it more annoying when it's your own or someone else's nose that's whistling? I've had occasions when I'd blow my nose until I though I'd rupture an ear drum, and still be doing spongebob impressions.

    I'm actually just going to leave now.

    For future reference there must be some kind of cleaver way of dealing with a situation like this.

    The risk is you might come across as aggressive or pedantic and I can't live with people thinking of me like that.

    Maybe I could just offer everyone in the room a mint and suggest he take two.

    Tell the fecker to pick his nose.

    Or ask him does he have a cold?

    I find throwing paper balls at fellow colleagues also does the trick.

    I already told one girl to turn down her earphones.

    If I start telling everyone what to do the crowd with turn on me.

    I'm retreating.

    It can be caused by a hole in the septum, I have a hole in mine caused by trauma, broken noses, etc can cause it i think

    That is a bit extreme to be fair.
    OP set off a 40 litre co2 fire extingusher in front of his face that will freeze the whistling.

    What tune is his nose whistling? Maybe you should hum along to it.

    You could say to him "your nose is whistling"?

    Take yourself out to the bog , have a dump in a styrophonecup ..... a la "two girls one cup " , go back to where he is sitting and leave the cup behind him.
    Shortly he will notice the smell and start mouth breathing or leave thinking he shat himself.

    You may bask in my reflecting glory.
