That's not mild, that's wild.

No one says anything. You just know they know.

It's actually a very severe curse because if you pick your nose alone at home or in a bathroom stall, someone has to magically appear there to witness it, and that's freaky.

Maybe when at home, everytime you pick your nose, you unexpectedly make eye contact with yourself in the mirror.

I can summon a random person at will? Count me in. Base Jumping and scuba diving just got hella weird.

How does this work, technically? Is the person who notices in the same place as I am? Or will (a random?) someone immediately gain knowledge of a person picking their nose? Does that come with location information? Information about my person? Information about how I look? That must be terrifying!

A friend of mine mentioned that if this is how it works, it can be extremely useful if you get lost in the woods or something. You could use the sensation of knowing you pick your nose to send messages using morse code. The recipient would be picked (pun originally unintended) by random, though?
