Business Etiquette

Not sure if there has already been a post about this, but wanted to start one so members can learn more about business etiquette.

One question I had was what to do when I had to blow my nose, seems like the consensus is to excuse myself and do it in the restroom.

Random but what if someone has something in their nose? How should I approach that one?

lol? not if you're on the trading floor - it's one thing having manners; it's another thing purposely lowering/humbling yourself in the eyes of your peers.
