AIBU abut beard twiddling inappropriate in public ?

[beardfear]

So I popped into the phone shop and the only assistant in sight was sitting at the desk talking to a female customer whilst constantly twirling his beard. It was super weird and I promptly left. AIBU or should beard twiddling a bit erm sexual? He wasn't doing it for me but was he signalling the customer, like female hair twirling ?

Unless it was the beard surrounding his dick then yabu I think!

You actually left the shop because he was twiddling his beard?!

Ahhhaaaaaa this is bizarre OP. Please explain how this is sexual?

It's just a bit intimate really

Like legit nose picking?

😬🤢

What does this even mean?!?

Actually, I don't want to know.

perhaps he is signalling to an unknown undercover agent.
he doesn't know who s/he is, so twiddles his beard at everyone who comes into the shop.
the agent will recognise the signal and proceed to the next rendevouz. no ?

Just when you thin Aibu can’t get any weirder….

@Undecicive

There's nothing sexual about beard twiddling. (Or beards, generally, for me.)

YES^

I read the op and thought ‘it just doesn’t get any weirder,’ and then… ‘legit nose picking.’ How is that intimate? I guess if you legitimised someone’s nose picking you’d need to be extremely fond of them.

Anyway, he was touching a part of his face. I think on the scale of sexually inappropriate behaviour it’s quite low, along with a cheeky flash of ankle, or touching your earlobe. Not quite in the whipping out your dingaling and asking the car phone warehouse employees to touch your penis piercing.

I wouldn't mind Alan Rickman twiddling his beard as The Sheriff of Nottingham.

But a woke bro beard? Boak!

If I had a villain moustache I would be luxuriously twiddling it at passers by.

Not sexual...at all

My husband twirls his beard hair all the time. It's not sexual, it's normally when he's thinking to be honest. An absent minded kind of thing..

Hercule Poirot?

(Not saying he's attractive obviously! Just maybe this was who the OP encountered, given the apparent obsession with twiddling facial hair. 🤷🏻‍♀️

In what world is beard twiddling sexual?! Apart from maybe D.H. Lawrence’s world.

Were you overcome by an attack of the vapours and had to flee, your skirts muddied and torn as you ran, OP?
