I always use handkerchiefs, but keep a packet of tissues in my bag for emergency use c;

personally I just prefer handkerschiefs because you can just wash and re-use them

Really hope it was just a one-day thing Julez!
I don't believe in being overdressed, everyone else is just underdressed haha

My policy is always to be overdressed on purpose :D

I always use tissues. I had handkerchiefs when I was a kid, given as a gift by my grandma, but no one else I knew used them. I found them too inconvenient. You blow your nose a couple of times, that one's used up, and now you have to carry it around all day and wait for it to be washed. I couldn't possibly own enough handkerchiefs for what happens when I get a cold. I've been known to go through whole boxes of tissues in a couple of days, and my colds can last for a month or more.

I dress however I want wherever I want and my definition of overdressed just differs a lot with other people haha

I grew up with handkerchiefs, and I actually have that issue with tissues xD
one or two blows and they're done and you end up with a pile of used tissues, while I can use my handkerchiefs 10x and then they get folded down and placed in a separate spot in my bag o;

My colds usually last a good week-10 days, and I go through 3 handkerchiefs a day give or take

Am I the only one who uses tissues but still carries them around and reuses them for days? Maybe I should try handkerchiefs... But I don't have any. Probably my mom has some lying around in the piles of stuff from my great-aunts...

I just took a huge pile from my parents when I moved out xD

It is 18:52 and our upstairs neighbour is drilling and hammering, I don't know wether to laugh or not at the hypocrisy of it all c':

That's good :)
And yeah, doing much else would also probably only lead to a lot of trouble for nothing in the long run...

I reuse tissues too, Chrizine! Then just throw them away when they're completely done.

Yeah, at some point they just start fraying or get too crumbled up, then I throw them away. But before that, they're very much reusable as well.
