The ink used to have a sugar additive, and the habit just stuck, I guess.

its to get a better grip on the page

>he doesn't have a fingerbook scanner so he knows the last page he fingered so he doesn't lose his place

It's a .1mm thin piece of paper, why do you need grip. Just press down and slide if you're 90yrs old and don't have the grip strength to turn a page.

Why don't you just reach for the nearest book and try it instead of asking a useless question

It’s a symbol of white supremacy. You see, whites have traditionally read more and the paper absorbs the oils and moisture on your finger, reducing their grip. So, they lick their finger to grip the pages better.

i remember my teacher who i had a crush on would do that.

One time she left one of the corners wet. I cut the corner of it off and put it in my mouth. I wanted to taste her.

I really like when SouthernASMR shows the little glints of femdom in her personality.

what did she taste like?

she would chew this weird gum, it kinda tasted like it.

it was that kind of gum that smokers chew to kick addiction

old people have dry skin. harder to grip a single page.

I saw a boomer in a grocery store reach into her purse, take money out, take her mask off, and lick her fingers to separate the bills.

why are boomers so dumb, bros

Papers back then, especially from mature trees, tasted really good.

The excuse is that it helps them turn the page, the real reason is because of pathogens in the body that influence the person to stick dirty fingers in their mouths.

33 year old boomer here. your hands dry out the older you get. thought it was weird when i was a kid but i get it now

Why don't the dumb boomers just use some skin lotion for their old, dry disgusting skin

I always thought this was weird too. Aren't they tasting all the shit they touched? I just look to the side and dab my finger in the white of my eye. Way more classy and doesn't make me taste weird shit.

>I just look to the side and dab my finger in the white of my eye.
That was hilarious, user

>not reading 5 books at a time so that it's impossible to remember all of the page numbers

>impossible

what's a book

When the page numbers are changing so frequently, yes

>I tasted paper so I can “taste” my teacher

Fucking gross, user.

yeah I've always been gross.

COVID didn’t exist back then. Simpler times. I guess that’s why so many of them died.

you ever went in dry?
You do anything without lubricant and it's not a very fun experience.

You realize when a boy and a girl like each other they literally stick their tongues in each other's mouths right?

Turning a page isnt sex

15 years ago when I was in the 8th grade We we had a new super hot 29 year old Spanish teacher Ms. Perez. My friend and I were the the first two in the class and she was out in the hall waiting for the other students. My friend dared me to go smell her seat and like an Idiot I did she walked back in the class and caught me. She was like WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! I told her my pencil rolled under her desk and I was picking it up. she was then like. LOOKS TO ME LIKE YOU WERE SMELLING MY SEAT. The rest of the students were walk in as she said that . Then my friend was like. He was smelling your seat! Then she was like. OH MY GOD. practically ran out of the class came back with our principal and I was suspended for a week. I was then known as the seat sniffer and I had to apologize to her in front of the class when I got back. She accepted my apology and strangely told me to come to her desk and she hugged me. She didnt back to school the following year and I know I was responsible.

You didn't tell them it was your friend's idea?

Based seat sniffer

later virgins

your friend is a faggot and I couldn't blame you if you destroyed his life monte cristo style tomorrow

Haha id love to take out my Johnson and move it where the page spot is. She licks her finger then, without looking, places her finger on the jap eye.

"Whhhhhatttt!!?" She screams. I'm there just grinnin'. She looks at me gingerly and places her finger on it again. Her finger makes contact with a bead of precum. She takes me finger away,looks at it and....tastes. she wants it.

She drops to her knees and lets her mouth engulf the member. She has just make friends with kneel and Bob. Her back cannon protrude abd fire! She has been been so mesmerized by the penis that a strike team have entered the control room and have disabled the doomsday machine. THE WAR IS OVER! alllll thanks to Dave.

I would have been terrified if some hot predatory Spanish-ish teacher with more ass than I had dick had decided to molest me when I was younger, and I'd have loved every second of it

thanks, Dave

Ever do it before? If the chick is hot it's an insanely moreish smell. Hard to explain but it almost feels the next best thing to ficking them without fucking them. you feel so close to them, it's strangely intimate.

Np mike. Best of luck on the driving test.

this, anal fixation is faggotry

tell me how i know you've never read a book in your life zoomer faggot. Go back to kim kardasians insta or whatever faggot

It's to get a better grip on the page but it's fucking gross. I've never felt the need to do that when flipping pages.

Do people do this with library books? Even though someone else likely licked their finger before turning the pages, getting their saliva on the same places on the paper that are likely being lifted and then a finger licked after touching it?

What did it smell like

I've always wanted to sniff a girl's seat. But it has to be a forbidden sniff. I can't sexualize my girlfriend, she's just some lady I live with. I would go out of my way to avoid sniffing anywhere she sat. But a 5/10 teacher you've been crushing on for the whole year, that's the good stuff.
