Licking One's Fingers When Passing Out Papers

[Karynica, RN]

is it me or is this just gross? My mother has always done this when going through papers, looking at papers, etc.

I noticed that a lot of teachers do this too when passing out papers to kids or like in nursing school, the instructor did this. Am I just too picky??

What does everyone think of this?

After 20 years of wiping other people's butts and a total of 2 years in Africa - seeing how the majority of the people on this planet live, licking one's fingers while passing out papers seems extremely trivial to me.

Haha I like the way you think.
