I am having a strange day.

I have just been introduced to someone, friend of a friend of a friend.

So far, so good, so proper.

But, as he shook hands with me, he adjusted his balls.

So AIBU to be repulverised, or should I have taken it as a compliment?

Hmm

yuk

but i did giggle, its not what he did its that way you told it

Sausagesarenottheonlyfruit · 04/07/2011 12:45

One hand on your hand, the other on happy sack?

Juggling or scratching?

Sausagesarenottheonlyfruit · 04/07/2011 12:46

Perhaps you should have offered some assistance

fuzzpig · 04/07/2011 12:47

I'm sorry to use a much-loathed term, but I truly did LOL.

Tis the first time DD has ever asked "what's so funny mummy?"

Needless to say I didn't tell her.

fuzzpig · 04/07/2011 12:48

My preferred term for such behaviour, if anyone's interested, is plum juggling

GrimmaTheNome · 04/07/2011 12:48

I do like 'repulverised' Grin

No, not naice at all. Could be worse though... I'm assuming he did the adjustment with his left hand ....

itisnearlysummer · 04/07/2011 12:48

So long as he didn't switch hands part way though...

NorksAreMessy · 04/07/2011 12:48

what other strange things have happened today? That will help me to put this in context.

If your day has involved Bonobos; AI in cows; the sex life of octopi or sizing cucumbers for length and girth, then this does not seem at all odd.

However, if your day has involved drinking a frappacino; cuddling a kitten and picking strawberries, then this incident would stand out a little.

Details, my dear chaos , are everything

OTheHugeManatee · 04/07/2011 12:49

It could have been worse. He could have removed the very hand from within trousers which he'd been using for a game of pocket billiards and therewith shaken yours.

NorksAreMessy · 04/07/2011 12:50

or, he could have asked you if you would like to share

ChaosTrulyReigns · 04/07/2011 12:57

Well you lot have made me smile!

TF it was outside his trousers.

[gulp]

Definitely readjustment of the little fella, not scratching, although Icm not sure which is more unnaice.

Strange day, Norks? I had to sit through this mindblower.

Maybe he likes you and was ball juggling so you didnt notice Grin

GilbonzoTheSecretPsychoDuck · 04/07/2011 13:02

Eeeuuwww

Unless he's a secret police undercovery type person.......have you seen True Romance?

It could all be a ploy. The evil machines to get your child's name, the secret recording of conversations, my my, have you recently discovered a shed full of wires or dug a hole and found a hidden bunker?

izzywhizzyletsgetbusy · 04/07/2011 13:10

That's not at all naice. Such behaviour is uncouth and uncalled for, and has no plaice in po-lite soci-aity.

Unless, of course, one is an aristo, in which case it may be regarded as a charming eccentricity.

Did he shake with one hand and shake with the other simultaneously? Or was the hand that shook yours used to make the unnecessary adjustment?

It would be a kindness to assume that the gentleman in question may have been experiencing a temporary hitch with his truss but, nevertheless, I trust you gave your mitts a thorough scrub at the earliest opportunity.

VelvetSnow · 04/07/2011 13:14

You're lucky he didn't take your hand and put it on his balls - I've had that happen to me on more than one occasion.

VelvetSnow · 04/07/2011 13:15

Of course, not in a meet and greet situation Grin That would be very odd.

ChazsBrilliantAttitude · 04/07/2011 13:17

Well at least you know he can multitask!

SydSaid · 04/07/2011 13:21

I'm intruiged.
When were you first pulverised? I'm surprised you can still shake hands...

PinotsEvilTwin · 04/07/2011 13:24

Did he sniff his fingers afterwards?

Badgerwife · 04/07/2011 13:51

Wow, maybe you had an enhancing effect on his, well, ... and it got a bit crowded in there, hence the readjustment. Or he's got flees. Either way, his timing was a bit off, I'll give you that! Grin

ChaosTrulyReigns · 04/07/2011 21:13

Grin at SydSaid.

No, no sniffing PET, haven't you got a pleasant mind. Wink

I'm back with a pure mind filled with thoughts of my fluffy kittens now, see?

biddysmama · 04/07/2011 21:16

maybe he was very excited to meet you?

glitterkitty · 04/07/2011 21:32

Did he do the eye flick to your norkage?

KurriKurri · 04/07/2011 21:39

Maybe he will start a thread 'I was introduced to Chaos today, and while I was adjusting my balls, she shook my hand' - we've only got your very biased version of events.

Or maybe he's got some kind of virulent crotch rot, and the itch is unbearable - you should have asked.
