You just dump snot and mucus into your own elbow? What, like, onto the skin or does it just soak into the clothes you're wearing? For someone throwing around the word "disgusting" you're not exactly an exemplar.

Nope. I think sneezing into your elbow is pretty gross. You telling me it's better than your hand doesn't suddenly make it nice.

Of course it isn't nice. It's just the least bad option when other people are around.
