Don't you hate sloppy kissers?

You know, I've lived up & down the eastern seaboard & I don't know if it's just me, but it seems like people in Jersey are much more ummm, physically demonstrative than people in the rest of the country.

So every time you see someone you have to do the half-hug/cheek kiss thing. For me there's nothing worse (well, ALMOST nothing) than when someone purses their lips so much that when they make contact basically the inside of their mouth touches your cheek. EW! Then you end up w/this blob of spit on your face that you're dying to wipe off but can't figure out how without offending the person who left it there. Not to mention it splotches my makeup.

OK I'm ranting about something silly. It just so grosses me out!

Well, *I* for one am very disappointed that this is not a detailed story about the aftermath of some horrible date.

And spit is as bad as that old-lady lipstick that you can't get off without a brillo.

That is so funny. I have lived in IN, CA, and PA and I have noticed the kisssy huggy thing. I always complain to my DH because I am so not into the touchy thing. I'd rather shake hands! LOL. But I don't want to offend!

There are five sloppy kissers that I LOVE...my five rescue dogs!!! They are very sloppy kissers and I wouldn't trade their kisses for anything in the world.

In fact, three of my dogs have to be right with me when I workout, every time. They sit near me the whole time. When I get down on the floor to do ab work, they "go in for the kill." They are kissing machines. I really think they think that's their time. It's all tails wagging and kisses galore! Yeah, it can be distracting, but I wouldn't trade it.

Here's something worse: the sloppy kiss accompanied by a smacking or slurping sound.

The solution:start wearing some really horrible tasting makeup (or spray bitter apple on your cheeks right before you are going to meet someone). That may 'train' them to keep there kisses dry!
