Hmm, that makes me remember a situation I found myself in at a shopping mall recently. After dumping the kids off at the pool, I was just wiping away the bits that wouldn't go away when I experienced a breakthrough in the cheap toilet paper. "Bugger!" I thought as I carefully cleaned under my finger nail. It is one of those things though where you can never be sure if all the remnants have totally been eradicated, so after I had travelled about 10 meters from the toilet door, I decided to sniff my finger to see if it stank like shit. At that moment a very hot, young Japanese girl spied me, and rolled her eyes away, with a look of disgust.
What I want to know is, how can she be so sure that I was sniffing my finger to see if it stank like shit? I think it is wrong for people to assume that just because I may be sniffing my finger I am checking for a shit smell.
I noticed in "Star Wars" episode I during the Jedi meeting to decide Aniken Skywalker's future as a Jedi, that Yoda is sitting, looking very sage-like and sniffing his finger. Yoda's a seriously respectable figure, and for him to sit in a meeting of leading Jedis and sniff his finger would suggest to me that it is a socially acceptable practice.
What do others think? If you see somebody sniffing their finger, what is the first thing you consider they may be checking for?

Maybe you should just pick your nose and have a sniff then...

Or maybe just hold your head up with your fingers (like Tim is doing in my avatar picture) and have a quick check then.

trb, you nearly got me fired for laughing so hard. :lol: :lol:

The sniffing of fingers in public is not kosher - what other reason would you stiff your fingers for other than to see if they smell like shit?

Still :lol: :lol:

I think the Jedi demand a certain level of personal hygiene, and Yoda was just checking that Skywalker was meeting the standard. :)

Depends on where they are. If they had just come out of the petrol station, I'd assume they were checking for petrol smell. If they had just come out of a pet shop, I'd assume they were checking for dog smell. Did I hear correctly when you said you'd just come out of the toilet..... :wink:

Public loos are a problem - weak paper, or ultra slippery and rigid stuff, cold water only, out of soap or detergent, and surfaces you don't want to touch.
When travelling, my wife and I pack our own roll of triple ply and some soap, and if possible make our pit stops at a McDonalds outlet - they are relatively clean usually.

I remember rubbing my nose in the street once and being given the "disgusted" look by a young woman - I assumed she had though I was picking it..
Normally, when I'm out and about, I don't notice other people and what they are doing much as I am usually thinking about something else - or about driving when I'm driving.

Funny how the japs can be turned off by an action as innocuous as a finger-sniff, yet their pr0nography often features cephalopods and body fluids, and they are presumably turned on by this.

You can tell a lot about a culture by the calibre of pr0nography it produces.

Ahh, thank you everybody for those helpful hints. I feel much more enlightened about finger sniffing now.

Pseudo, I had to look in the dictionary for "Cephalopod". Now I think sometimes you just know too much, but this thread is called "gross" so it's probably appropriate.

I used to live with two guys who like to take ecstasy. Someone told them that shoving the pill up their arse made the drug work better and quicker, so every weekend with would ram their finger up their arse with a pill on it for a high.

however, apparently only some drugs, both legal and illicit are more receptive taken in a suppository manner, and ecstasy is not one of them.

I laugh at how many times they went into the toilets to shove their finger up their arse for no real reason.

Avoid high fives at nightclubs and music festivals. :shock:
