A moment, without a snapshot

Waiting for pickup outside of hotel.  A man in a car, waiting for someone else sits, quietly grooming is face.  First he checks the internal cavities of his nose and removes the debris found therein with his thumb and forefinger.  Next he expresses a pimple from one side of his nose and then, in an effort of absolute thoroughness, the other side.  Through a series of facial gyrations, he re-inspects his nostrils and surveys his extraction-handiwork.  Just when I think he is well-satisfied with his labors, he routes in the console and removes fingernail clippers and efficiently trims his nose hair.

Ah, the unexpected morning treat for the lone visitor.

You thank me for not taking any pictures, eh?
