Checks on collection - advice needed!

Guys, I collected my car a week ago and its pristine, apart from on the drivers side there is a dollop of paint hanging off slightly (it looks like the paint was drying and a bit run off). It kinda looks like a white haemorroid. Do I cut it off or leave it as it is?
(EDIT: See below for photo!)

you wouldnt cut off a hemroid off your back side, lol.
was it raining or particularly dull when you collected it, cos you may have a shout with vw.
also, i typed in hemroid into google to see if i was spelling it right, and bam, pictures in the page, i feel sick.

Its a minor drop of dired up paint, about the size of a 5p coin, but its visible from the side. Is it worth asking the dealer about? It hangs off underneath the driver door side, in between the jack points. I could cut it off with some scissors but am worried about the remains, will it cause any problems?
Attached is a photo!

Back to VW, paint defect, warranty, thanks.
Don't touch it, the minute you do they won't want to know.

It's just where the body has been flooded with anti-rust wax, which has dripped, then been painted over. Unless it really bothers you, personally, I'd leave it.
