- GawtMilk, on 10/11/2007, -32/+369The sad thing is that in order to find things like this, people just look...and look...and look. There's no "secret", it just takes hours at a time. Google Street View topics are pretty lame, in my opinion. Have any of you actually been outside? You see things like this all the time. If I see someone on the street picking his nose, I'm not like "HOLY ***** DID YOU SEE THAT?", so why should looking at it on the internet be any different?
- kent1146, on 10/11/2007, -14/+265Am I the only one who checked the picture to make sure it wasn't me that was caught on camera doing this?
- dhayes501, on 10/11/2007, -3/+122unfortunately, it looks more like a scratch than a pick...
- Sanitarium, on 10/11/2007, -7/+102Its a TRANSLUCENT man picking his nose!
You can see right through him. - airmann90, on 10/11/2007, -14/+108HOLY ***** THAT GUY PICKING HIS NOSE IS MY BOSS!!!
- zugzub, on 10/11/2007, -5/+54you can pick your friends
you can pick your nose
you can't pick your friends nose - jiggelo, on 10/11/2007, -2/+50Well that would be the only logical explanation
- GawtMilk, on 10/11/2007, -1/+46You can tell because he's sitting on the bench, alone.
Oh wait. *****...I'm a programmer.
I'm so very lonely :( - timlopez, on 10/11/2007, -3/+45"It's wasn't a pick! It was a scratch!"
- Jerry Seinfeld - pintomp3, on 10/11/2007, -2/+42clearly he's a programmer.
- KingBabi, on 10/11/2007, -7/+45If we pick, do we not bleed?!
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -8/+44@ ps3udov3ctor
the main reasons people find these kind of pictures is A) they don't have a girlfriend or B) they live near the location the where picture was taken. in this case A most likely applies. - letsnotlisten, on 10/11/2007, -7/+41@GawtMilk
The whole reason that Google Street View topics are popular is because that person's embarrassment is captured very coincidentally for the whole world to witness, which conceptually is very gigglicious. However, this one is sort of lame, it doesn't look like he's really picking his nose, it's sort of more like he accidentally pinkied his face. - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -9/+40"Man picking nose on Google Maps Street View..."
WHO CARES! - Steyr47, on 10/11/2007, -2/+26Cause the other Street View things were under programming. It was a spur of the moment decision.
- Disjunto, on 10/11/2007, -4/+28well if you move to the right and zoom out, you can see it is a very crappy merge of photos :P
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -3/+22"I wasn't picking my nose. I was just scratching it".
- Supernova36, on 10/11/2007, -0/+19To be fair it does look more like he's scratching it than picking it..
- OrangeTide, on 10/11/2007, -1/+19I'll totally pay you for dog peeing on fire hydrant photos!
- spedmyster, on 10/11/2007, -16/+30Articles such as these are the reason why I use reddit much more often than digg now.
- wwwdot1jesdotus, on 10/11/2007, -0/+14There was no nostril penetration! There was no pick!
- Axfire, on 10/11/2007, -5/+19Man, this is the lamest of all the "caught someone doing something stupid on Google Maps". What's next? Man scratching his ass? Boy smoking a cig? Woman putting on makeup while driving her car? Dog peeing on fire hydrant?

- Shadow503, on 10/11/2007, -0/+13If I see that Google street view van come by I'll moon it.
- booyabazooka, on 10/11/2007, -1/+11Or, just maybe, somebody found this image because A) there isn't much Street View imagery yet, and B) there are a lot of people looking at this cool new feature, and a lot of eyes means a lot of potential for someone to find things.
- DrCream, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10Looks to me like he is resting his hand on his face....
- cfarmer8, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c201/DIEmfDIE50/picker.jpg
- cgseller, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8funny - but I think you may be right. That is a tough angle for a pick....
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -4/+12@letsnotllisten
I dugg you up for use of the word gigglicious. - smallSHEEP, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7I looks more like a scratch perhaps, he certainly isn't mining for gold. The angle gives it away.
- Kyan, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6You can if you're three.
- bossfrog, on 10/11/2007, -5/+10WRONG! In public, there is absolutely no expectation of privacy. You do something stupid/sick/embarrassing in public, you're fair game no matter who you are.
- uncopyrightable, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6With the amount of people staring at women's crotches I can imagine a "Camel toe on google maps street viewer" submission soon enough.
- astanhope, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6You can pick your friends - and you can pick your search engine...
- jasonpoon, on 10/11/2007, -4/+8How can people find these pics in Google Map...they have no life?
but I appreciate their effort. - masnevets, on 10/11/2007, -5/+9I don't appreciate their efforts.
- roberto_deneero, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Pick a winner.
- ronin688, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4This is so tired already..... I get no satisfaction in the embarrassment of innocent strangers. I wasn't convinced before, but I'm starting to think this is an invasion of our basic right to privacy.
Google should keep the service, but blur the faces, I'm sure that there would be a way to automate that process. - Rhino2, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3
HAHA! Let's all point and laugh - wisie, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4This could almost deserve its own category? "Stalking"
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -2/+5I'm curious as to why this comment is being dugg down...
He's 100% correct, if it's in public, it's fair game. - bigpeeler, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3He's fixing his bicycle.
- pizzler, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3He looks like he could be an undercover cop...or else a crazy man pretending to be talking on the phone thru his hand!
- ostracize, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3@rpgmaker
"WHO CARES!"
As of this time: 2535 and counting - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3This is programming news huh? Digg used to be my primary source for real news. "Oh, you don't think nose picking is cool?!? I am going to Digg you down!21!2"
- judicar, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Isn't that Dwight?
MICHAEL! - co72, on 10/11/2007, -2/+4That's it, when a pic of a man makes the front page of Digg, don't care if it's from Google maps or not, this site has lost it's appeal... This is not news, it's not interesting, it's not funny.
Enjoy your fart jokes, dumbasses. - themastersb, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Just when you think no one is watching you....
- ccmmaarrtt, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2...and the hundreds of Digg users checked their nostils for anything loose
- Poopoopants, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2"Argh, there's got to be some money in here."
