Oh no! My job as a preschool teacher requires that I shake hands every day with each of my children as I dismiss them at the end of the day! What have I done?!?!?! ---

ZPG has zoomed to the top of my list of posters on the SDMB who are on the wrong side of batshit. I didn’t think it was possible to achieve but you did it. Bravo! ---

Translation: Curlcoat: Those examples are not really that bad. Villa: The only way you could think they were not that bad would be if you, like **ZPG Zealot** , were also bat-shit crazy. Curlcoat: Well, I think that they’re not that bad, therefore I must admit that I’m batshit crazy. How the hell else do you read that?

In all seriousness, one of the weirdest things I’ve ever seen **ZPG** say is when she told me that I obviously don’t have any idea what it means to be part of a family. And…dude, I have a mom and a dad (fer real), 2 brothers and a sister, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and a mess of cousins. They all treat me just the same as they treat their “blood.” I seriously don’t get what she thinks I’m missing. ---

> [@jsgoddess](#): > > At this point, it’s my firm belief that the cheese is a lie. I’m leaning that way as well. There’s no way anyone is that crazy. She can’t even keep track of her own lies at this point - it seems like there’s a new “exception” every time she posts. She also seems too stupid to work in a library, in any capacity. I’m not buying a word of her bullshit. ---

> [@Raygun99](#): > > Except no one is actually implying this. > Imagine you grew up speaking a language where a word that sounds like “hello” was actually an obscene curse akin to “fuck you”. Everywhere you went in English speaking countries, it would sound to you like everyone was being unspeakably rude to everyone. Or you could realize that **it doesn’t mean what you think it means to them.** This actually happens, sort of. In a bunch of central Asian languages, “um” roughly means “cunt”. But people raised in other languages, even if they have learned to speak Turkish or Uzbek or Kazakh or whatever, sometimes don’t know that, so… > [@ZPG\_Zealot](#): > > You have heard of these things called gloves right? I’ve used those from time to time especially with male clients from the Mid East or India. Aside from that touching someone while giving a reading is considered morally the same as touching someone while performing a medical procedure or preventing an accident. You people really should use your heads for more than just watching Larry the Cable Guy. Wait no go back. Why especially with male clients from the Mid East or India? Please explain, I’d like to see where this is going.
