    Mind you just think of all the grubby paws which have been on the ATM keyboards, hmm think I will use gloves next time !
    I actually carry several pairs of latex gloves in my bag.

    Usually they've just for when I have bicycle problems: manage to knock the chain off, have a flat tire etc.

        Now that's a bad case of not washing ones hands.

          During a lengthy contract in Belgium I did start to notice that it was not a common habit to wash your hands afterwards, however there was an explanation for this.

          1) Most wash-rooms in Belgium are so filthy that attempting to wash you hands would make them dirtier.

          2) In public places there is some granny demanding 50c for the use of the convenience, so you get lots of "runners".

          I did get ill there quite a lot.

            Clammy Hands

            I did have to go to a meeting the other day where the particular person in question had shafted me for a lot of money recently as part of a negotiation as part of my retail business.

            Anyway, as part of this second meeting I decided the only thing I could do at the moment was to go for the old favourite clammy hand approach.

            As I walked up the stairs to the meeting, I slipped my hand down the back of my trousers, held it between my greasy arse cheeks, took it back out, walked around the corner and then shook hands with the person in question, smiling and holding their hand firm in mine for a good ten seconds while shaking.

            I almost wet myself laughing when I left.

            Its the small things in life.

              Nice one, I think I might also use that one.

              Got a customer winging at me beacause their service contract has gone up by a wopping £26.50 a month.

              I think a goodbye meeting is called for... shake shake
