Talking to a woman not related to him, not wearing hijab, her wanting to shake his hand?
LOL!
He’d have sooner kissed a spitting cobra.
So it was against his religion....in public anyway.
And she tried to press the issue.
One would have hoped her state department brains would have prepped her with that info.
If they didn’t, then they’re ijits.
If she didn’t know it on her own, then she’s an ijit.
And if she did know and/or they did tell her, then she was intentionally trying to stick a fork in the guy. Which makes her a bee-yatch. Which we already knew.
That or the pant suit, either way. I once had a boss who was that ridiculous. This area is rural and filled with southern hospitality so one of my clients gave me some of their homegrown watermelons to pass around the office. I tried to give one to the new boss and he fell all over the desk trying to get away from me. He wouldn't even touch the watermelon and acted like it was a spitting cobra. He was literally in panic mode. I told him I'd carry it to his car for him and you wouldn't believe the terror in his eyes. If only I'd known then what I know now about bacon...
Ding, ding, ding - we have a thread winnah!
