Condiments Are Evil
Most would not consider what I am about to write an issue, however, I discovered I may need some type of psychoanalyst intervention. I do not like having any type of condiment, be it ketchup, mustard, mayo, even butter, to touch my fingers. If I so happen to get a “dab”- I
cannot lick it off. No, really, I can’t. I will either wash my finger, use a napkin and in severe cases, my clothing. The thought of licking something from one of my fingers sickens me- and the silly thing? I know I’m clean. I bathe daily, contrary to popular belief that hillbillies/rednecks have one bath a week. Take for instance, this evening. Taco Bell+Zesty Chicken Bowl+ (without the shredded lettuce-another issue I’ll discuss with my shrink when everyone recommends one to me), hot sauce=omg I got it on my finger and they didn’t give me napkins. It was raining, so, I stuck my finger out the window. So, tell me people, do I need an intervention, or is this perfectly normal? Do any of you lick things off your fingers? And for goodness sakes, keep it clean. I have a reputation to maintain. Innuendo is acceptable.
Yah, that’s totally weird! You never lick anything off your fingers? WOW! I can’t handle licking a popsicle stick, or even touching it to my tongue. So I guess we all have at least one of these weird little quirks. Some of us have more than one, I’m sure! It’s OK to be WEIRD, you know!
I’ve licked my fingers a million times while I eat. LOL I have a question for you. Did you ever hold your food with your fingers? You know, like hot dogs, tacos, or candy bars? You say you won’t lick condiments off your fingers but do you eat food that your fingers touch? I don’t want to start you on a whole new phobia but if you can eat food that your fingers touch then you should be able to lick food off your fingers.
Sweet Mummy: Nope- can’t do it- I think it’s because it just doesn’t taste the same as it does on whatever you’re putting it on? lol
Preston: Yeah I hold food- use a napkin if possible-and for foods that are gritty or get crumbs on your fingers?I do this little thing where I rub my thumb, forefinger and middle finger to get it off. YES it’s weird.
It really sounds weird, but i guess it doesn’t matter.
I will usually lick it off but then not do anything else til its washed, besides eating. The fact that you won’t lick it is a bit weird. Most people will lick but if you don’t that’s fine too.
I can understand not wanting to lick someone elses fingers. (Particularly after reading a survey of what was found on a high percentage of fingers. Lets not go there!) But to not lick your own? As you say you’re clean and you know where they’ve been. Hey-ho, to each his own, it’s things like this that make us interesting.
