💩posting after a 5+ year-old memory came to mind. The face of the employee I’d been chatting with (before momentarily freeing my hand) was positively aghast. Olympic contender in no-coaster defense competitions, guarding the impervious exterior of large corporate marketing assets like it’s the Mona Lisa.

(A little context - I would hope to be described as deferential and polite, occasionally even to a fault.) Oops
