When talking to someone, you step up to them and grab their arm. Then you force them to walk around with you, while you have their arm. Total attention. Example: https://makeagif.com/i/3Bfhx7

Touch me like that and conversation is over.

Get credit card with excellent travel rewards. Go out to large group meals frequently. Put the whole bill on the card, get everyone else to pay you back. Travel the world for free with all the points you accumulate.

Sounds like a nightmare, coordinating repayment

1. I dilute my dish soap with water, and put it in a spray bottle. Sooo handy. 2. Keep a pump bottle of 100% aloe vera gel in the WC. Why would you buy chemical aloe vera TP when this is an option?

Can you be more explicit? Where are you putting the aloe vera?

"Yeah, that's interesting, but could you fuck off off of my arm?"

Grab my arm without asking and the next person you'll be talking to is your dentist.
