A while back a Christian lady who worked for BA was dismissed for refusing to remove a cross which hung from a chain around her neck. Now another religious lady, this time a Hindu, has been dismissed from a catering company based at Heathrow Airport for refusing to remove her nose stud. This is allegedly on health and safety grounds.

I wonder whether these geniuses in HR and management ever read the newspapers, listen to the radio news, or watch TV news.

I'm also wondering how this lady's nose stud could possibly contaminate the food with which she works. Enquiring minds, in this case, definitely do not want to know.

Mine was a piercing through the divider between the 2 nostrils, so yeah, different placement (and well DUH about Hindu women's piercings, btw) that made it particularly likely that post-nasal drip would be an issue. But I imagine the same thing would be possible for regular nose studs - once the snot's on the back of the jewelry, you no longer feel it there.

And poor hygiene! I'm so offended! Although it was singularly disgusting.
