What is with people licking their fingers then turning pages

[HEyHEY]

Then giving you the piece of paper....nothing is more disgusting to me than someone handing me something to look at that is covered in their slober.....I mean ever heard of GERMS....christ's sake man.

Eww...I'm just so disgusted, I notice where I live now they do it Constantly too.

1. Oh, I HATE that!!!!

I just frigging HATE it. My boyfriend's father does that, if he is as much as writing a check.

2. I've only done that once.

And that was because my fingers were literally too dry to move the page. I have disgustingly dry skin. Well, not disgusting. It's just dry.

3. We like to share

our germs

4. I do it when I hit my Page Down button - is that a problem?

[Deja Q]

5. It's sexy, isn't it?

6. I guess if you lick the whole finger, rather than just the tip...nt

7. Actually,

People who's work requires a lot of hand washing have trouble handling paper. It's easy to pick up paper when your hands are covered in snot/grease/fingerpaint. Think about it.

8. To get a grip on the paper

I tend to do it, and I've noticed that a certain actor I like (who is quoted below) does it, too...Sam, are we long lost cousins or something?

9. Maybe It's Good Porn And They Don't Want To Mess Up The Magazine?

I don't know.

10. yeah, that is so gross

I can't STAND handling paper that has been exposed to another person's saliva. Nothing is more nauseating than human spit. What's even worse is when they lick their fingers when counting out money - lord only knows what kind of disgusting stuff is on bills that have been handled over and over (by the way, my parasitology professor mentioned in class once that 90% of paper bills have parasite eggs on them - eeewwwwww!)

11. That grosses me out too. But even worse, is when

someone is cutting a cake for a group of people (like a birthday cake), and they lick the frosting off their fingers in between cutting the slices (before picking up the slice, placing it on a plate, and handing it to you.)

12. Yikes, that's what killed the monk....

in "The Name of the Rose." Don't do it!
