    I do what all other females do, freak out and touch every centimeter of my face until you tell me it's gone...

        And you have a bright flaming red hand print on at least one of your cheeks!! (^_^)

    Have you ever told someone they had something stuck in their teeth and they say something sheepish or defensive like, "I know. I wanted it there." ?

    I've a coworker that said that... I think he was so afraid to make a low impression of himself that he didn't want to admit that spinach in his teeth was not a weakness for which any of us would've held it against him... of course his response made me think, "How pathetic." Heheh... :)

    I was thinking... "Riiiiiiight. So now we're putting spinach in our teeth as a new trend in mouth decorations!"

    When someone points out you've got a booger, thank them. I'd want to know if I had one. it's a simple matter of common courtesy, not their attempt to point our your character flaws... sheesh. :)

      I usually quip something like that; I thought I was just making jokes but you just made me realize I obviously have serious issues with my self esteem.

      Either that, or someone just needs to lighten up :-)

    Naturally, I'd grab *your* left cheek, and walk off with it ;-)

    Wonder if there were a multi-legged creature there....

      Why the qualifier? I think I'd be equally concerned with a zero or one legged creature on my cheek.

      When your only tool is a hammer, all problems look like your thumb.

        Obviously it has to have two legs if it has a left and right cheek, as the cheeks are just above each leg. :)

        I'm a bit concerned, the advocacy of this poll... grabbing cheeks... aren't we getting a bit cheeky?

    Examine my face in a mirror. (Update: get horrified on how bad my hair looks. Try to fix hair. Forget about the something on my cheek entirely.)

    Exception is if I'm in the crazy building Z of the university which is ten stories high but doesn't have a mirror in any men's room, nor even traces to show that there ever was a mirror installed. In that case, I'd try to rub my cheek with a paper tissue.

    Interestingly, I touched my left cheek as I read it -- but if I'd seen you do it, I might have touched my right cheek.

    Good question. People that does not use the mirror convention could be tracked also on other behaviours.
