FAs are just as disgusted as us by this type of behaviour. I retreated to the galley once to avoid a nosepicker who needed to 'clean' for many minutes; the FAs were also disgusted and listed off their pet peeves, including bare feet on the bulkhead, and diaper changes of any sort not performed in the lav. (I once tattled to a LH purser about a poopy diaper change on the seat in F; his response was quite classic - unfortunately the recipient of the tongue lashing did not speak German, but I enjoyed it nonetheless!
