Happened to me while talking to a teacher. The spit came from him. He awkwardly reached out to wipe it away, thought better of it (probably because it was already absorbed by my shirt) and visibly shrunk a few centimeters from embarrassment. All while our discussion went on normally. But the power dynamic was switched around in one instance.

This happened to me at a work party. I was talking to an HR lady and some of the food from her mouth flew out and landed on my glasses.
Like a big chunk of food, right in my field of view.
We both pretended it didn’t happen. We wanted for the conversation to end and I left to clean my glasses.
Good Guy Randy.
I’m pretty big on this kind of thing… spit lands on my arm, I continue the conversation normally and after a second’s delay slowly move to wipe my arm off without mentioning it.
Glad to see all the other Lemmings like this!
Me pretending I didn't see the spit that just shot out of your mouth and land on my arm bc tbh I'm kinda into it ngl
I Won't acknowledge it happened beyond the wipewipewipe, but I am going to be wiping it off. If you pause your sentence I'll prompt you to keep going.
Shit happens, nobody is hurt unless you're sick in which case I'm not standing close enough to you to be in the splash zone. Let's move on.
You really need peak willpower to not react when this happens
What do you do, just... let it dry? 🤮
Gotta thug it out man
Just blink rapidly. They won't know if you're blinking to avoid spit in your eye or you blinked and didn't see it. 👍
I personally take every opportunity to put people down (it inflates my ego)
Eli5?
Pretty sure thats illegal to do.
