Do you lick your fingers?

[Chocolate Cake]

I carry wet wipes in my purse for times like that... Where I lick my fingers and then wipe them off after.

Why not just skip the licking part and wipe your fingers off with the wet wipe?

That is just basic manners not to lick your fingers, especially in public. It's very gross. I am not even thinking about germs when I see people sitting and licking their fingers. I am thinking they are disgusting. Do adults really do this in public and think it is ok?

Another thing I can't stand is nose blowing at a dinner table/where people are eating. Who doesn't know that is wrong?

This is my absolute WORST pet peeve of people. I do not want to hear the snot leaving your nose as it then enters a thin tissue, and then watch as you put it on the table or in your pocket while I am trying to eat my food. Just the thought of snot sitting at the table makes me want to vomit.

I try not to finger lick in public. I have an incredible urge to do it after eating cheesies though.

This, definitely this!

OMG. Please. I am actually getting sick thinking of it

So it's okay for you to fart in public but not okay for anyone else? http://wwww.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=52555149&postcount=44

Yes. Though generally I don't let 'em rip. Silence is key to public farting success.

OMG, that's just disgusting.

I have not done that with the yogurt lid but I have no issues licking my fingers at home. Good grief, do any of you eat bbq ribs? How? I can't imagine how many napkins you go thru during dinner or trying to picture eating ribs with a knife and fork, lol!!

I'm guessing it is the same people that eat pizza with a fork and knife.

I'm sure I do lick my fingers in public but don't even realize it since I do it at home with certain foods.

I was going to mention that I dislike eating BBQ ribs and chicken for this reason. I still do on occasion, but I just really hate the sauce getting all over my fingers and under my nails while I eat. And yes, I do use lots of napkins rather than suck on my fingers throughout the entire meal.

I'm not opposed to eating finger foods in general, just not super messy ones.

You also have to be on the move so you're not fingered for the offense. Crop dusting

My older brother called those SBDs. Silent, but deadly.

That reminds me of a story a relative told me. He was in a large room with a bunch of people. Everybody was standing. He couldn't hold it any longer and knew a fart was coming. He had the brilliant idea that he could kick the wall at the same time as he farted and nobody would notice. Unfortunately, his timing was off. He kicked the wall. Everybody looked at him, then he farted.

This guy gets it.

Ok…y'all have got me cracking up reading this! Lol! I'm glad I'm not crazy…or at least if I am, some of you are crazier than me!

Your right, when youre eating ribs, chicken wings, or pizza, you definitely have to eat with your hands! I do anyway. I wouldnt dare attempt to eat them with a fork and knife. Thats just silly.

Yes, I do. I will admit it. I am a finger licker..

Not something that would make me look twice. I am sure I have done it. I am not afraid of germs.... We do not use hand sanitizer, just wash hands after bathroom, and before and after we eat. I carry wet wipes in my purse for times like that... Where I lick my fingers and then wipe them off after.

Technique is important.

My DH likes to leave them in the elevator as he walks out and says quietly to me "a little something to remember me by." Yes, I married an animal!

As far as finger licking is concerned, I would say yes in the privacy of my own home.

The original post in this thread reminds me of that old joke...

Question: Should Yogurt be eaten with the fingers?

Answer: No, the fingers should be eaten separately!

Joke aside though... Isn't that the correct way to eat peanut butter.

People worry too much and are entirely overly sensitive to things that shouldn't even give them a seconds thought. I'm not a dirty person, but, I have never owned any antibiotic hand cleanser. I don't worry if I rub my eyes, or lick my fingers or whatever else (with the exception of bathroom visits) that life encounters. I'm 67 years old and am hardly ever sick. I haven't even had a cold for over two years. Concern for that stuff, to me, is greatly exaggerated.
