TMI

Odd things I catch myself doing while I'm concentrating, that I hope none of my office mates has noticed, no. 756:

Smelling my fingertips.

(But the thing is, they smell really, really good!)

How weird am I?

Rest your chin in the palm of your hand, elbow on the desk, fingers curled lightly over your mouth. Fingertips are now directly below your nose, and you have an attitude of contemplative concentration.

I will deny all knowledge of this peculiar habit, mind.

As long as you don't put your finger tips under your armpits first, (a la Mary Catherine Gallagher), you should be okay.

Um, I often catch myself smelling my fingertips. A lot depends on what I had for lunch.

The discreet finger-smelling tip goes right on the list of Top Tips along with the discreet nipple-scratching tip. Yay.

OK, spill the discreet nipple-scratching beans... :-)

To scratch, say, left nipple:

Use left hand to scratch right hand side of neck / right hand shoulder (which is socially acceptable). Use elbow of left arm to scratch nipple through clothes; much easier if bra has one of those itch-making seams that go across the nipple, but then, they also cause more itch, so there's no overall gain to 'em.

It takes a little practice to do this without causing provocative bounce, unless one is naturally bounceless, but when correctly done, it is undetectable. And gets rid of the itch.

If only I could think of a way for men to relieve their intimate itches as discreetly. It may be socially acceptable for them to scratch themselves inside and outside their trousers in public, but I don't have to like it. But there's no way for women to scratch cystitis itch in public, is there?

No - even the discreetest of wiggles looks deeply suspect...
