Used to work with a guy who licked his glasses to clean them. Strange enough watching it done to general glasses. Absolutely horrifying to watch it done to lab safety glasses.

No licking involved but I was hired at my first office job because the department I was joining was tired of calling IT all the time to "fix things" and they thought I'd be a more convenient go-to (I mentioned in the interview that I taught myself html). My actual job was recruiting in HR.
I can see why IT was slow to help them. They were incredibly dumb. No one there knew how to load paper into the printer. I had to show numerous coworkers how to restart your computer. Things like that.

Listen sometimes it’s the only way and it’s less gross than spitting at them. But you should wipe them off on your shirt first to get rid of loose stuff you don’t want to lick, then apply spit, then wipe again.

Found the guy who's doing dishwashing at home.

Was his name Gecko, by any chance? 😏😉🤪

I knew a guy who once went to an interview and licked his glasses as a power move. The interviewer was definitely intimidated bc he got the job. He was terrible at his actual job though.

I remember a bloke who would suck on his earplugs before putting them in his ears, and that wasn't the weirdest shit I saw at the job.

I once worked with an optician who called the gunk that accumulates on your glasses opti-glopty.
Nikilynn0125
I've always called the stuff in the corner of your eyes "opti-goop" lol

Right, but did he take them off first? I mean, come on, some things are self-explanatory.

Not the most challenging wank.

Human saliva is a mild solvent and, assuming it's not adulterated, should work fine for removing smudges and detritus from your lenses.
whoatherebigfella
For my dumb friend who didn’t know what detritus meant.
Detritus refers to loose, dead organic material, debris, or waste produced by the decomposition of organisms, plants, or rock erosion. It plays a crucial ecological role by providing nutrients for soil and aquatic ecosystems, often acting as a fundamental energy source for microorganisms and invertebrates
JohnWickdidnothingwrong
It's a great word =]

Vocabulary expansion is a noble endeavor.

Licking your glasses is hawwwing on your glasses with less steps and increased efficacy. This guy is already doing lean practices. Hire them.

And you're getting all the gross shit that was on your glasses on your tongue instead of on what you wipe it with x.x
cheezencrackers
My glasses have never been inside someone's butthole, so....

This is how immune systems are built up

Whatever is on my glasses, my tongue has had worse. Non-issue.

One time a guy spilled some coffee on his hand and to clean it up he reached down and dried his hand off on his sock. His. Sock. Did that guy get the job? Ha! That guy already had the job, this was when I was working as a telecom engineer and that guy was the head of a local pharmaceutical company. If he wants to dry his hand on his sock ain't nobody gonna stop him. That was probably one of the weirdest meeting moments I've had. Not the weirdest, but it's on the list.
LavenderAmethyst
When I was a small child, my dad taught me to wipe my hand on my sock if nothing else is available. Sage advice that I have passed onto my own children.
H4ximus
I do that sometimes. I know that I will change the socks soon/that day. And nobody will see the dirt. If I would use my pants to wipe my hands, ill need to change them sooner.
Bukoden
Was going to say that shirt and pants are always visible and it can be noticeable when they are dirty. Socks are hidden away. Completely reasonable.
IHaveAGuyForEverything
I never based my Help Desk hires on experiance. We have a really good Runbook and KB library. We can teach you the job. Always hired on personality. “Will this person get along and have fun?” I’ve not been disappointed yet.
wargames
we use to do that, then ai come around and leadership went turbo dumb and requires massive experience for 50k a year entry level jobs. you can expect how things are turning out.
IHaveAGuyForEverything
I do my own onboarding. Fuck AI. It can be bypassed. Don’t give into the hate.
textilelover
OMG I just had this experience as I have to hire a coordinator. It's an entry level job. HR wants 5 references, 3 from superviors!
whoatherebigfella
I can’t fault you for that. I did hiring for a few companies and sometimes, it’s wild card hires like that, that become proud hires and disclosing (because sometimes it comes up between you two) that info to the hire later on in their career, makes for wonderful conversation.
Sonicschilidogs
I was once told that I was hired because I was the first person they'd ever heard say "fuck" in an interview. I'm a teacher, and I was moving, so I was switching schools, but I had only ever taught at urban Title 1 schools before this (this was also Title 1, but incredibly rural) and they asked about a time I was frustrated with a student and what I did, and i just described a particular student and the relationship we had built up and then quoted the kid in my story from one particular day.

And sometimes they take Vicky from accounting hostage.
IamIntoleranceIntolerant
My wife's name is Vicki, she's an accountant, and I met her at a previous job.
I deny all charges.
(and yes, all of the above is true)
BananaForScaIe
We're glad you deny the charges.
whoatherebigfella
Well, it’s not like we are going to circumvent the background check on the dude just because he allegedly stayed late one night because the men’s bathroom had a sewage backup problem. I bet Vicki would love the guy.
usernametakenisthestoryofmylife
Dude - he licked his glasses. That's a potential hostage taker.
ryecurry9000
I've also licked glasses for the purpose of cleaning. I have yet to kidnap anyone...yet.
TheMostKink
You're hired.
