[Keerock]

I don't read books/magazines all that much, but when I do, I'm a licker.

 

[Keerock]

Also... Pro Tip - I lick my fingers to get the damn dog poop bags open too. Works in the grocery checkout line and produce section when the stupid bags won't separate.

 

[Snoopy]

gross

 

[Kev4029]

I used to, but Covid changed that habit.

 

[PIK95]

Only when I can't get it to turn otherwise.

Voted no, Never done it.
For grocery produce bags I just use the moisture from the lettuce to wet my fingers

 

[3C's]

At home I'm not too worried about it if I need to lick my fingers to flip a page but I'm more likely to grab a little lotion so my fingers aren't dry. At the grocery store for the produce bags, I use the moisture collecting on the shelf of the vegetables. The one time I handed out ballots at an election I used a damp paper towel. No licking in public!

 

[gianmarco]

I'd say 95% of the time, I'm an excellent page turner and can get it done without assistance or excess moisture.

For those times I can't, yes, I'll lick. The first time it'll be my finger, the next time I just lick the book directly. Nothing worse than multiple failed attempts.

this reminds me of people who spit when they pee.


freaking nutso and without purpose.

It actually serves a purpose though - to be able to turn the page.

so licking my fingers like some crack head at a bodega after a 3 week bender... helps me turn the pages somehow better than my unlicked fingers which also are able to turn pages?

 

[Gally]

Only when I need to. It's not all the time.

 

[Zow]

Never have nor even thought about it.

 

[Zegras11]

Don't use my fingers, I use a sponge.

 

[Nick Vermeil]

I use a kindle and I lick the screen all day.

 

[belljr]

No.... I'm not some weird......

 

[need2know]

People still read books?

These have existed for DECADES precisely so people don't have to lick their fingers. Have you never done paperwork??

Those are for turning pages??!! No wonder the store wondered why I kept going back to buy more so often.

 

[Fear The Turtle]

Exactly my story. Also, no more nail biting, nose picking, etc. Result: I have not been sick since before COVID.

This. So voted "no" because it's not a regular thing.

Correct

 

[Runkle]

Never, after having seen "The Name of the Rose" as a youngster. In the movie, the corners of a book are poisoned, and those that lick their fingers to turn the page end up dead.

 

[Sand]

Ewwwww

I haven't seen that one in years. BTW I'm absolutely convinced the carnal part of that movie was real.

+1 grosssss

Those produce bags are ridiculous

Me too, but sometimes it's absolutely necessary. Which makes me feel like the results of this poll are flaVVed.

I always called them finger rubbers.

 

[STEADYMOBBIN 22]

No. If you still do this, PLEASE stop.

 

[AAABatteries]

My finger? No, not my finger.

 

[shuke]

Rarely when needed, but Covid turned me a little into a germaphobe, so I won't like my fingers but rather lightly spit on them.

 

[steelerfan1]

I need to post this in the pet peeve thread. Drives me crazy when I see people do this.

 

[wlwiles]

Never have nor even thought about it.

This is me. I'm aware that licking a finger to turn a page exists and I've seen it done, but I can't remember ever even thinking about doing it.
